Meta released official UI components and resources for designing immersive experiences.
Cool design explorations of isometric icons inspired by VisionOS.
That might be 2 too many Adobe news for a single issue, but I’m glad they’re shipping something for the Apple Vision Pro on day 1! From The Verge: “Adobe’s Firefly AI, the text-to-image tool behind features like Photoshop’s generative fill, will be available on the Apple Vision Pro as a native app, alongside the company’s popular Lightroom photo editing software already demonstrated during the headset’s announcement.”
Lilit explains some ups and downs of using Figma with Vision Pro. Sounds like it’s busted in Safari for now, but inside Mac Virtual Display it works pretty well.
"Can you use @figma with #VisionPro?"

This was the most commonly asked question in my earlier post, so here's a quick demonstration video ✨
The answer is, both yes and no. Read more below 👇 pic.twitter.com/s6VFff0jCv
Danial Siddiki started building a UI kit by replicating Vision Pro interfaces made by Apple.
After playing with visionOS SDK, Alex Widua built a little iOS app that takes Figma frames and places them in augmented reality. “Figma plugin talks to an iOS app via WebSockets. All Figma frames are loaded as AR reference images which makes them detectable by ARKit. […] Once detected, a high-res version is loaded, mapped onto a plane, and stored as a reference for future updates.”
Prototyped a little app that allows you to take frames from @figma and 'pull them into space'.

Ever wanted to collaborate in FigJam using virtual reality? A note from the developer: “We wouldn’t build a better tool than Figma, so we used their super SDK to write a plugin that integrates with our XR application. We develop our applications for Snapdragon Spaces technology, available for Lenovo A3 glasses, as well as for Quest 2 and Quest Pro. We use Unity technology, so in the future the app can be open on any device like Android/iOS/MagicLeap/Quest etc. The app is still a prototype, but we consider of going forward and release it in some day.”
At Nomtek Labs, we put Figma in XR under the Snapdragon Spaces Pathfinder Program. Now you can seamlessly collaborate using FigJam Board. Check out this WIP demo on Quest Pro (the app works on Spaces Dev Kit as well) #XR #Figma #Collaboration #QuestPro #SpacesDevKit #Snapdragon pic.twitter.com/PSMY4cl3QG
