An app creates “magic spaces” on the Vision Pro
To recreate a space with Magic Room, The first thing to do is to walk around and scan the entire room, since the LIDAR scanner only captures the environment within a radius of a few meters. After this first step, you can press a button and transform any location. Walls can “breathe” with wavy patterns, and you can use buttons and sliders to adjust the appearance to your liking..
According to the developer, the application uses ARKit and RealityKit shading graphics and is highly extensible and customizable. And he promised more, through a publication on his X account.
@MagicRoomApp is a 100% native visionOS application, using ARKit and RealityKit shader graphics. It is highly extensible and customizable. Expect more crazy room transformations/visualizations in the future.
