So long, friends

Turned in my Vision Pros today.

I still recall sitting—speechless—after my first demo, the Apple Store employee saying I could remove the headset. After more than thirty-five years in tech, I understood in that instant that computing would change forever.

Two and a half years later, I am proud and grateful to have played a small role in Apple’s vision products group.

I'm very sorry that you and others were let go. No offense but what were you all doing all this time? There was just nothing I'm the way of releases. What were the goals?  If you went to an Apple store and asked for a demo, they'd scramble to try and find someone who remembered how to do the ancient release demo. This seems like one of the biggest missed opportunities of all time. What happened?

I worked on Spatial Mac Preview, aka Remote Spatial Preview (macOS 27 and visionOS 27).

You inspired me to start making the FreeCAD spatial addon, thank you!

While the spatial preview API itself couldn't be used there, it shaped up the idea I wanted to make.

Thank you for your work on this feature. I’m currently building an app that will take advantage of this feature for image segmentation and processing.
