Today's hands-on demo with the Apple Vision Pro was inspiring and eye-opening. The software and hardware UX is exceptional, as is the eye and hand tracking. Ease of use leapfrogs what has been done on the Oculus Rift, Meta Quest, and Microsoft Hololens and I found it very intuitive and compelling. I see incredible potential for this device.

As a long-time early adopter and innovator, I had similar reactions to the introduction of the Apple Netwon and iPod. The question is, which one is this more like? (thanks to my buddy Christopher Kilmer for that brilliant analogy)

The Immersive story Life Hutch VR was a passion project of mine, so I was happy to see a new version of this classic sci-fi story appear in a season 2 episode of Love, Death & Robots on Netflix. This new retelling produced by Blur Studio is stunningly beautiful and watching it is every bit as exciting as the first time I read the classic tale years ago. It was also wonderful to see how similar our versions are. I credit the author Harlan Ellison with this shared vision and also acknowledge that as visual storytellers we stand on the shoulders of giants, such as the directors Ridley Scott and James Cameron, and the production designers Ron Cob and Syd Mead. As producers and directors, we always try to invent new, unseen worlds for the audience, but the vision created by these masters is so rich and compelling that it is almost impossible to ignore. As the game designers created our spaceships, cockpits, computer screens, and uniforms, I found myself drawn to the stark, utilitarian aesthetic of the Alien film franchise. The style fits perfectly with the well-used and war-torn near future that “Life Hutch” is set in, and you can see how both of our productions have embraced it and expanded upon it in new and exciting ways.

The team and I are experimenting with dynamic lights and shadows for our new VR title LYTE. This is quite a challenge to render on the Oculus Quest but creates a wonderful an immersive aesthetic for the experience. I have spent my entire career pushing hardware to to create rich user experiences so this is nothing new.

Check out the trailer for our new project Lyte! This immersive discovery game in development for Oculus Quest relies on hand-tracking and real time dynamic lighting to create an experience of wonder and delight.
