Immerse

"A verdant meadow with a beautiful sunset"
"A fancy castle library with a fireplace and big windows"
"A hidden oasis in the rainforest with a crystal clear waterfall"

Inspiration

We're passionate about the endless opportunities spatial computing holds for the future. For our project, we wanted to create an environment for the Vision Pro where anyone's personal space is as limitless as their imagination. Our idea was inspired by the existing Vision Pro "Environments" which allows users to transform their physical surroundings into a completely different place, from snow-capped mountains to a sunset in the desert. With the click of your fingers, you can immerse yourself in the most beautiful parts of the world.

What it does

Now imagine just that, but instead of choosing from a limited number of ~10 presets, you can generate infinite places to visit in the world. Here's how it works: you open Immerse, input a prompt such as "a verdant meadow with a beautiful sunset" and you'll automatically be transported into that scene. You will be immersed entirely in a world of your choosing, and you can personalize your prompt as you wish until you've created the perfect setting. For seniors, young people, and others of all ages, Immerse could improve mental health and meditation, boost creativity and memory, and increase imagination.

How we built it

Immerse was built with SwiftUI, Vision OS SDK, and an API for the text-to-3D image generation.

Challenges we ran into

None of us had prior knowledge of SwiftUI or Vision Pro hardware so this was an ambitious but exciting tackle for us.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of creating an app that will inspire the imagination and creativity of people.

What we learned

We learned how to code in a new language, with a new piece of hardware, in a team of new people. It was definitely a time of creative exploration and keeping an open mind.

What's next for Verse

We hope to incorporate audio and make it even more immersive so that people can come to Immerse as a space to relax, meditate, and be endlessly creative in their own world.
