Spatial computing capabilities are officially on their way to becoming mainstream, thanks to the release of the Vision Pro. It’s a moment Big Human has been preparing for ever since Apple announced the new product in June 2023. With our expertise in iOS app development, we’ve plunged headfirst into visionOS and building Vision Pro apps.
Our engineering team seamlessly translates our familiarity with the native iOS app tech stack into our new title as Apple Vision Pro developers. To get more specific: We use Xcode for the development environment and Swift for the programming language.
Whether you’re curious about how your current app will work on visionOS, thinking about altering it to work better for the product, or want to hire Vision Pro developers to create an entirely new app, Big Human can help. Our team is outfitted with strategists, designers, and engineers who always approach this type of project from a research-based, UX perspective — one that considers the current landscape, visually appealing and intuitive interfaces, and an overall seamless experience for the user.
There isn’t an industry that Vision Pro won’t touch. Its 3D capabilities are game-changing for anyone selling tangible products, experiences, or destinations. If you’re selling a service that involves dashboards, you don’t have an option other than investing in Vision Pro.
For retail, Vision Pro can enhance product recognition for inventory management. Healthcare companies can use it for medical image analysis and diagnostics. The automotive industry will look to driver assistance systems for safer navigation. Secure facial recognition for identity verification is critical for financial institutions. Interactive learning with image recognition will cause a shift in education. And, of course, entertainment is already seeing how Vision Pro adds augmented reality experiences in gaming and media.
"The app designed by Big Human has been ranked highly for its UX, rating no less than four stars in the App Store since its release. The adaptive team is able to take on existing frameworks and integrate with internal systems."

We’ll be the first ones to tell you that not every company, service, or industry needs an Apple Vision Pro app. But it’s part of our job to find out if you do. At the beginning of an engagement, before you even have to sign a contract, we’ll spend some time determining what makes the most sense for you.
If you already have an app, you’re off to a good start. Most iOS apps are compatible with Vision Pro; they can still be downloaded and opened in a window with Vision Pro. Users just won’t be able to have an immersive experience or use the passthrough feature with it.
And if you want your app to be developed specifically for visionOS? You’ll need a team to optimize, build, and deploy your application using the latest features of the Vision Pro API — things like room mapping, virtual workspaces, and immersion.
Our team has already built a visionOS-compatible app that has both the passthrough feature (where you can see your surroundings) and immersive mode (you see what the app wants you to see). While we can’t give away the details just yet, we’re excited to explore the possibilities ever further.
We want to understand you and your needs, and examine how your Vision Pro app compares to other competitors’ products. This initial discovery period will lay the groundwork for both the design and development — maybe even the go-to-market strategy, too.
Spatial design for this type of app refers to the arrangement and organization of elements in its interface; at this stage, we’re considering the physical and conceptual spaces to create a user-friendly and visually cohesive experience. This is also where we’d collaborate on 3D designs.
To integrate Apple Vision Pro, our engineers add the framework to Xcode, configure project settings, and utilize Swift for coding. They leverage Vision framework APIs for tasks like image recognition.
Our team is well-versed in conducting rigorous testing on Vision Pro apps — including unit testing, integration testing, and user testing. We’ll also check functionality, security, and performance to meet Apple's standards.
We love talking about the future of Apple Vision Pro. It’s innovative products like this that take everything to the next level — and it’s not stopping anytime soon. If you’re curious about how you should be using this next generation of technology, please reach out.
