Try covering the logo with your thumb and watch the red fade away. Everything is a hallucination and a half.
his Coca-Cola can appears reddish, though it consists of black and white random dots.

You know when you build a new feature and curse at all the extra work you have to do to cover some pretttty ridiculous edge cases that no one will ever see but then you do a really good job at it anyway?.

If Apple Vision Pro crashes, the passthrough doesn't go dark! It's so easy to overlook this but it's so so key to the illusion that it's *just* your apps and the OS crashing, the things floating in your reality, but not reality itself.

Turns out thereâs been a public API to do this for nearly a year. That means the team behind WhatsApp, an app with over A BILLION daily active users simply canât be bothered to implement it? Someone plz help me understand corporate app dev choices because I do not get this.
Since when do third party apps show up here and when will WhatsApp be added? đ

Any app developer who played Wordle thought about how many hours it would take them to clone it natively but actually doing it and then *monetizing* it is flagrant greedâdoing it without changing the gameplay, design, or even the name at all is shameless.

It's continues to be absolutely *unreal* that Blackbox is nominated for an Apple Design Award AGAIN, this time seven years later for visionOS!. It is incomprehensibly wild to me how working on what was meant to be a side-project to learn iOS has utterly transformed my life,

@kanaukou Surely the object recognition has some effect?. I need to put these two side by side.
@KevinMLoch @AkiyoshiKitaoka O think a good experiment is showing this picture to someone who did not see the "coke" brand in the can yet. And thrn compare against the perception of the other image.

Skylight is finally out!! đ
. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Seb, Rebecca, and Ben to build these card interactions, dynamic backgrounds, and of course the animated âsquiggleâ :}.
Ever wish you knew ahead of time when youâd get absolutely beautiful light? A vibrant sunset, or just a really nice golden hour?. So did we. Here it is: @RebeccaSlatkin, @sandofksy and I bring you Skylight Forecast, an app that predicts sunset quality.
