What will I learn in this class?

The components of spatial design

We start with the new basics of design in an XR space and how VR, AR, and MR will all present unique challenges.

The Apple Vision UI

Going beyond the old WIMP (window, icon, mouse, pointer) model, we’ll explore how to consider new user gestures, interactions, and interface options to navigate your product.

How to apply your current UX skills to the new medium

The UX skills you’ve spent your life developing are not useless, they just need some iteration.

And More…

How to adapt your current design tools to spatial needs

Popular UX design tools are already beginning to adapt to Apple Vision.

How to start creating spatial designs now

Learn how to make use of the tools you already know and free tools provided by Apple to plan, design, and build your spatial designs.
