Apple Hosts Special Vision Pro Event for Developers

Sunday October 26, 2025 4:39 am PDT by Hartley Charlton

Apple used the launch week of the M5 Vision Pro this week to run a two-day "Meet with Apple" program for developers, with a focus on building immersive media and interactive apps for visionOS 26.

Vision Pro M5 Demo
Apple invited developers to its Developer Center in Cupertino, hosting sessions on how to create Apple Immersive Video, design spatial interactions, and use features such as SharePlay and spatial Personas.

During this Day 1 livestream, we'll show how visionOS 26 can help you tell impactful immersive and interactive stories. You'll learn how to frame your creative ideas for formats like Apple Immersive Video and explore real-world examples from past productions. You'll discover how to design for spatial interaction and tell stories that make the audience part of your experience. And you'll find out how to use SharePlay and spatial Personas to help people connect over your ideas.

On Day 2, we'll dive deep into Apple Immersive Video and Apple Spatial Audio. You'll discover how to create entirely new media experiences, get started with Apple Immersive Video, explore new production workflows, and dig into previous Apple Immersive productions.

Full recordings of both day one and day two are available for replay on the Apple Developer YouTube channel. Apple announced the M5 Vision Pro on October 15 and in-store availability began on October 22.

for me, the best use is watching high-quality films. For some reason, the HBO Max app has dropped the immersive environments. Granted they only had one, but it was still a nice way to watch a movie. Also, it would be nice if there were other film watching apps that had the ability to use the Apple immersive environment of being in a movie theater.

And for the haters and trolls that are gonna post the negative comments, yes, it’s expensive so what. The latest MacBook Pro is also quite expensive.

The comments on here are insane. Imagine if the first cell phone was shelved by Motorola because it was "too expensive" or "too heavy". Several years immediately before AND after the wright bothers make their first flight, "experts" were saying that manned flight would never amount to anything. Wow. The first Mac was also "too expensive" and "had no apps". The work being done now on Vision OS is going to eventually wind up being the OS for some sort of augmented reality device that will be the beginning of the end of the phone.

Seems like another step for Apple to try and brainwash the weak minded that this product is good. Owning the first gen and seeing there is no trade in it at Apple told us how much they don’t believe in this product. It’s trash.

I’m glad that we have people like you to let those of us who use the Vision Pro daily for entertainment and work that we’re weak-minded and have been brainwashed into buying a product that’s trash.

The Vision Pro gets more love from Apple than the AirPods Max, Mac Pro, and all HomePods combined.

Does it? One is just a Mac which has hours and hours of developer videos and documentation every year - and the other two are speakers, there's not a lot of love they can give those.

The Vision Pro is a new computing category for Apple that needs developer love and input.

Spatial computing is the future. Hell, I’m writing this as a passenger in a car while wearing VP.

I’m very happy with visionOS but I encourage everyone to vent your feedback directly to Apple.
