Designing Spatial Apps for Apple Vision Pro
summary
Practical rules for visionOS UI: use glass with subtle opacity and one line of code glass effects instead of opaque backgrounds; convert flat badges into 3D models (TurboSquid or Spline) to let users inspect awards and unlocked icons (36 variants on iPad); prefer rounded rectangles and subtle padding3D; keep depth minimal to avoid eye refocus; size interactive targets ~44pt with ~8pt padding to reach ~60pt total; implement clear hover states for eye-controlled cursors; run in the simulator with a controller or test on-device.
