IN THE NEWS
TikTok’s ‘reimagined’ app launches on Vision Pro
With over 1,000 apps on Apple Vision Pro, TikTok has thrown their hat in the ring. They announced yesterday they have launched a native TikTok that allows a more immersive experience.
In the TikTok Vision Pro app, the navigation bar and like button are moved off-screen to allow for full-video viewing, while the comment section and creator profiles appear as expansions on the side of the feed.
The app is designed to allow you to watch videos while scrolling the comments - thanks to Vision Pro’s spatial boundaries that you can easily get rid of.
PTC Onshape app in Vision Pro
The UK ‘s leading digital transformational engineering experts has launched an app on Apple Vision Pro. The Onshape Vision App transforms flat computer screen models into virtual life-size products that team members can hold, pull apart and inspect as if they were physical components.
“We are the first CAD and PLM company to launch a dedicated app for Apple Vision Pro and this move extends our commitment to the Apple community.
When viewing your product designs through this new technology, there are no limits to your workspace. You can tinker with your CAD model floating on an infinite canvas in front of you or move it around the room to anywhere you like.
You can walk on the factory floor and see your new industrial machinery at full scale before committing to production or shrink it to fit on a tabletop to get a better grasp of the overall design.
Viewing your product model at different scales can encourage new perspectives and help identify potential improvements. It’s a much different experience than zooming in or out on a part on a flat screen. You can grab the CAD model with your hands, bring it closer to your face, and let your curiosity lead the way, delivering a more streamlined and performance rich solution in the process.”
