Hi all, I've been building a Mac app called AVP Play. It takes Meta Quest games you already own, translates them on your Mac and installs them on your Apple Vision Pro, where they run natively – no PC, no streaming. First things first: all credit for the hard part goes to the developer of Klepton. Klepton is the toolchain that makes Quest games run on visionOS at all. Without that work none of this would be remotely possible. AVP Play is "only" the friendly front end around it: sign-in, downloads, building, installing, updates.

What it does

Lists the whole Quest catalogue (about 17,000 titles) and shows a label on each game: Verified (tested by me), Community Verified (more users report it runs than not), Untested, Incompatible.

You sign in with your own Meta account through Meta's own tool. The app asks Meta whether you own a game before it downloads anything – what you haven't bought is never downloaded. Your access key stays in the macOS keychain.

Steam is built in too: for games whose files come from a Steam purchase (Doom 3, Half-Life: Alyx) the app signs in through Valve's own SteamCMD and fetches exactly the files it needs – again only for games your account owns.

One click builds, signs and installs the game on the headset. DLC you bought later can be synced without rebuilding.

The app updates itself, and it's signed and notarised. Verified so far: Asgard's Wrath 2, Batman: Arkham Shadow, Beat Saber (with purchased song packs), Moss, Walkabout Mini Golf, SUPERHOT VR, Steam Link, Doom 3 (Doom3Quest port + your own Doom 3 files) and Half-Life: Alyx (your own Steam copy). Over the next few days I'll be testing and verifying a lot more of my own games.

Untested games – and fixing them with AI

You don't have to wait for me. Any game you own can be tried right away, verified or not. Expect some of them not to start – every verified game needed its own small adjustments first. If a game doesn't run properly:

report it with one click ("it works" / "it starts, with problems" / "it does not start") – these reports are what the community labels are made of, and

use "Fix with AI": you pick what goes wrong, and the app writes a complete prompt for your own AI coding assistant – where the files are, how to build and install, how to get the log off the headset. If the assistant finds a fix, you can send it in and I'll review it so everyone gets it. The more people use the app and report, the better it gets for everybody.

What you need (honest list)

An Apple Vision Pro and a Mac with Xcode

A paid Apple Developer account. That requirement may go away later, but right now it is required.

Your own Meta account with the games in it (and a Steam account for the Steam titles)

About Glovebox: yes, I know Glovebox.vision, and I plan to build its specifics into AVP Play as well.

Download and source: https://github.com/myMartek/avp-play (MIT licensed) This is not affiliated with Meta, Valve or Apple, and it does not include or share any game content: everything is downloaded from Meta or Valve with your own account, for games you bought. Happy to answer questions – and I'd love to hear which games work for you.

Hey everyone!

I built Hely Pilot, a game that lets you fly a helicopter in a fully immersive environment, using your hands to move the cyclic and collective!

I wanted to capture the feeling of flying by letting you control the helicopter directly with your hands.

You can check it out on the App Store.

I’m giving away 10 free download codes so some of you can try it out:

If you grab one, please leave a comment saying which code you used. I’d love to hear how it feels to fly and what you think could be improved!

Hi everyone — I'm the developer of Standby GO. I've been working on it for a while but haven't really promoted it, so I wanted to share what it can do. The first app I always opened when I put on my VP used to be Status Bar Builder, but now it's Standby GO.

This app was not a one-shot cash grab, it was many hours, many days, and probably hundreds if not thousands of iterations. For me it has replaced launcher apps, homekit camera apps, and Apple Home apps. There's a very usable completely free version, and a one time purchase paid version with a lot more features.

The idea is to build your own floating bars: a compact clock and weather display, an app launcher beside your workspace, a Home control panel, or a mix of all three. You can place items freely and make the bar as simple or elaborate as you like.

**What's free:**

- Two saved bars, with app links, websites, supported deep links and Shortcuts.

- Information items including clocks, dates, weather, battery, calendars, world clocks, sun/moon information, counters, countdowns, timers and stopwatches.

- Apple Music now playing with album artwork and playback controls.

- Custom/photo icons, adjustable labels and sizes, drag-and-drop placement, multiple selection, alignment and even spacing.

- Themes and workspace snapshots, within the free plan's limits.

**What Pro adds:**

- Unlimited bars and 20 editable example bars to help you get started.

- Apple Home scenes, devices and camera streams.

- Camera groups with up to eight feeds, arranged in your choice of rows and columns. Rectangular, round and oval views, with zoom/pan controls.

- Extra fonts, custom colors, tinted icons, gradients, faded edges and advanced background controls.

There are also fitted and smooth bar backgrounds, plus optional wood and metal frames with adjustable width and depth. Snapshots let you save a workspace, reopen its bars together, or duplicate it to try a different look.

RTSP, Scrypted import, network camera discovery, public webcams and Tiny Planet for compatible feeds are **beta**. Compatibility varies by camera and setup. Apple Music controls are for Apple Music, and app launch links depend on the destination app supporting them.

The app is free to download. **Pro is a $7.99 one-time purchase in the US**, with localized pricing elsewhere. There's an optional **five-day free Pro trial**, with no subscription or automatic charge.

I'd love to hear what you'd put on your own bar, or what would make this more useful in your daily Vision Pro setup.

We added support for animated Gaussian splats to STAGEit recently, which immediately made us want to create our own.

So the latest STAGEit Optimiser now has an alpha Gaussian splat generator, built on top of Apple’s SHARP library.

It’s very much alpha. Results vary, and this is not a tool for scanning your room. We’ve had the best results with people and smaller/macro subjects where you can isolate what you actually want to capture.

The basic workflow is:

• Drop in a video - we recommend 10 seconds or less
• Crop to the part of the image you actually want
• Trim the clip in the app (for long videos, trim them before importing)
• For people, enable People Cutout and Depth Cleanup
• Choose the depth you want to retain - smaller values help avoid unwanted background splats
• Generate an animated splat sequence

For reference, some depths we’ve used in our examples are 0.3m for the apple, 0.8m for Merlin (the Golden Retriever), and 1.0m for the lady in blue.

Processing can take 30-60 minutes, so we strongly recommend testing at 5fps first. Once you’re happy with the result, 24fps has been our sweet spot. You can go to 30fps, but it starts getting pretty demanding on the device.

There’s also a focal-length control, but unless you know your source footage was shot significantly differently from a standard ~30mm lens, we’d leave it alone.

We’ve also added wireless transfer directly into STAGEit. In the latest STAGEit, open a scene → Settings → Network → Host. STAGEit Optimiser can then connect directly to the device and send across both optimised USDZs and generated splat sequences - no more AirDropping files back and forth! Huzzah (this has been one of the best updates)

The generated .splatseq file is essentially an archive of the individual splat frames. If you have another app or workflow that can deal with splat sequences, you can rename the file to .zip and access the individual frames.

Otherwise, currently STAGEit is our playback option for the animated sequence. There is a free version of STAGEit Creator that allows you to try this, including the networking workflow.

It’s experimental, occasionally messy, and definitely still alpha, but we’re already getting some really interesting results from it.

STAGEit Optimiser is free, so feel free to give it a try.

Hi everyone,

I'm a solo developer, and my first Vision Pro game, Shatter Punch just went to live. I wanted to share it here first, because this is where the people who really use the headset are and I have always been here reading... until now.

The idea is simple: everything in the room comes at you, and you punch it before it hits you. No controllers, just your hands. I put most of my time into making every object real and react the way it would in real life. Porcelain shatters, glass bursts, fruit splits, a brass pitcher clangs off your fist and flies across the room, and balls bounce off the walls and furniture.

There's a campaign across photo-real rooms, a Rampage mode that comes at you in waves, and PowerPlay: an endless stream off the shelves, left fist then right, with Game Center leaderboards. In Campaign and Rampage you can play in your own room too. A quick guided scan, and the objects stand on your actual furniture.

Getting it right took a lot of work. My first version of the room mode left vases floating above my floor. Early throws aimed at my stomach instead of my face. And once, a football I punched rolled straight through my wall. All of that is fixed: throws come at your face and follow you if you lean, objects sit where they should, and the physics knows where your walls are.

Please give me feedback if you decide to try?

Here's the App Store link if anyone wants to try it: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6816491109

I made a game called Bloqbox that runs on Vision Pro, iPhone and Apple TV.

The idea was really about stitching these devices together. Vision Pro can feel pretty isolated, so I wanted someone in the headset to be able to play while somebody else jumps in from their phone or the TV instead of just standing there watching.

Both the Vision Pro and iPhone also have level builders, so you can make your own levels, test them and play them instead of only playing what I made.
What got me interested in this in the first place is that Vision Pro is in a weirdly interesting spot right now. I picked mine up used for around $1,600–$1,800, and between AI, controller support and what the hardware can already do, it started feeling a lot more like a legitimate game system to me than it did at launch.

Bloqbox is my attempt to play with that idea: quick games, user-built levels, multiple Apple devices playing together, and making Vision Pro feel a little more social.
It’s still early and I’m building a lot of this as I go, so I’d really love feedback on the concept and where you think it should go next.

Hi everyone 👋,

I am a solo indie developer and a passionate landscape photographer. For the past few years, my absolute biggest hobby has been road-tripping around the world with my camera, capturing high-resolution panoramic photography at world-famous landmarks.

As a visual purist, I’ve always felt traditional 2D screens completely ruin the soul of panoramic photography. Panoramas are meant to be experienced in spatial computing. The moment I first put on the Apple Vision Pro, I knew this was the canvas I had been waiting for. The dual 4K micro-OLED displays have the incredible contrast and color accuracy needed to truly bring these locations to life. It feels less like looking at a photo, and more like a spatial time machine teleporting you back to the exact field.

Thanks to the power of AI coding tools, I was able to bridge my lack of deep technical background and build Travel Immersive, which is now officially live on the visionOS App Store!

What is Travel Immersive?
It’s a premium world-touring experience built specifically to push the display limits of the Apple Vision Pro.

• 🌍 Massive Global Catalog: Explore 700+ world-famous destinations across 75+ countries.
• 🌵 American West Road Trip Collection: Experience full high-res immersions of Arches National Park (Delicate Arch, Wilson, North Window, Corona), Antelope Canyon, and Yellowstone.
• 🏯 UNESCO Heritage Sites: Walk through the majestic scales of the Forbidden City, The Great Wall, and the Terracotta Army—all personally captured and curated.
• 🔭 The Future Roadmap: This is just the beginning. I’m currently researching 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and volumetric captures to introduce full 6DoF movement into the app in future updates.

I recreated the sling ring from doctir strange by using custom gestures to open it and close it and used the new gaustian splat for the sanctuary inside of the portal.
