The Imaginative Universal

Something remarkable happened in February of 2026.

I recently came across a term, “internet poisoning”, that I thought I knew the meaning of.

Besides “slopsquatting”, another tech term I ran into recently, this time describing a phenomenon in the AR/VR world, is “rectangle-pilling”.

Language moves fast in tech, and mastery of new terms is usually the gateway to mastery of a given technology (or at least of being able to convince others you are a master of the tech), since grokking and competence are equivalent these days.

In the past year I’ve had the opportunity to participate in two visionOS hackathons and two XR conferences – indications that mixed reality is still going strong in 2024.

This is just to provide a small correction to people who say that the Apple Vision Pro has an 8K display.

Whether you decide to develop for the Apple Vision Pro using the native stack (XCode, SwiftUI, RealityKit) or with Unity 3D stack (Unity, C#, XR SDK, PolySpatial), you will need a mac.

You can take a snapshot of a spatial computing experience in the Apple Vision Pro simply by pressing both the crown button and the top button at the same time.
