APPLE VISION PRO: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE APPLE DESIGN TEAM

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Richard Howarth, VP of Industrial Design at Apple, and Alan Dye, VP of Human Interface Design, explains how hardware and software worked in unprecedented ways to transform ideas into reality during the development of the Vision Pro. The tech giant's design team understood that the device was a tool for connecting people, bringing them together, and enriching their lives. The Vision Pro needed to feel not too techy, so Apple invested a lot in flexible, soft materials and designed natural and comfortable gestures. Its hardware and software work together symbiotically, sharing common design principles and high-level goals.
