Develop with Purpose – Building Sign Language Recognition for VisionPro

Full talk title: Don’t Just Port Your iOS Apps to visionOS: Develop with Purpose – Building Sign Language Recognition for VisionPro

Speaker: Monika Mateska

VisionPro isn’t just another screen for your iPhone or iPad apps—it’s a revolutionary platform that invites us to rethink what’s possible. So why settle for simply porting over existing apps? This talk will explore how to approach VisionPro development with intention, creativity, and a focus on building experiences unique to the platform.

I’ll share my journey from staring with the VisionPro and no clear idea of what to build, to discovering the platform’s potential and creating a sign language recognition app. Along the way, we’ll dive into extracting hand data from VisionPro’s API, building a machine learning model, and integrating it all into an app. And I won’t sugarcoat it—I’ll highlight the challenges, frustrations, and lessons learned throughout the process.

Whether you’re new to VisionPro or looking for ways to make the most of its capabilities, this talk will show you how to shift your perspective and unlock the potential of this groundbreaking platform. Let’s embrace what makes VisionPro unique and create something extraordinary together!
