The coolest use for the Vision Pro
A software developer shares his experience using the Apple Vision Pro to visualize home floor plans in 3D. By importing designs into a virtual environment, he overcomes the difficulty of understanding spatial scale from 2D PDFs.
Why it matters
This highlights practical, non-gaming applications for spatial computing in architecture and personal home planning.
Over the last year, I admittedly haven't used my Vision Pro a ton, but fairly recently I discovered a super handy use that it's absolutely incredible at, provided you have the right tools.
After years of apartment life my girlfriend and I have recently begun the process of building our (first! exciting!) home, which is an absolute whirlwind of choices and decisions. Maybe it's where we're both programmers, but particularly for me, my software-oriented brain feels almost incompatible with this world of designing a home (she's the main one keeping this project moving forward).
In software if you don't end up liking a feature after playing around with it for awhile, you can tweak it or remove it entirely (try doing that with a poorly placed wall). Here, decisions feel huge and hard to commit to.
