Would you like to Share you visionOS App in Our Demo Share Platform

Hello, I am Zhang Siqi, the person in charge of SwitGG and XReality.Zone.

Events organized by these two communities have been officially recommended by Apple several times, and you can still find this year's SwiftGG: WWDC.Playground event that we organized on the Beyond WWDC official website.

I am contacting you because we saw your GitHub project GenerativeDoodleArt_VisionOS, which contains a demo for visionOS. Would you be willing to publish it on our visionOS application exchange platform?

Application Exchange Platform: https://github.com/XRealityZone/Let-us-xrOS/blob/main/README.md
Application Data Repository: https://github.com/XRealityZone/XRApps/blob/main/README.md

Let me briefly explain why we are doing this project.

This summer, the release of Apple Vision Pro heralds the dawn of the spatial computing era, prompting tech enthusiasts and developers to start thinking about how to create unique three-dimensional applications on new interactions, systems, and hardware.

Since the WWDC 2023 keynote, social media has been flooded with beautiful visuals and demo videos of visionOS apps. However, with the Apple Vision Pro not yet officially released, it's difficult to try out other developers' creations.

To address this, we've developed the Let’s xrOS app. Through it, you can test visionOS apps from other creators in the community and experience the allure of spatial computing devices ahead of others.

We hope this tool will lead to more frequent exchanges among developers and foster the growth of the entire community.

Looking forward to your response!

Wishing you all the best!

Half of the time it won't work for me. (beta 8)
Not to blame you @tracyhenry : P but I was curious if you had the same experience?

Best regards!
