You haven't asked for this, but I made it anyway. Now furnishing your home can be done with ease!
(Of course, we'll conveniently ignore the fact that to "furnish your home with ease" you'd need to have the Vision Pro. Oh, and another small detail — this concept needs to be implemented as well.)
Anyway, I thought this video was the final missing piece in this exploration. Finally, everything has come together.
More than a year ago, I moved to another country. And you know what? Relocating is hard, at least for me. I won't bother you with not-so-exciting stories about doing all the relocation-related paperwork. Instead, I'll tell you about the many headaches I had while furnishing the apartment.
I bet all designers often find themselves creating several different design options. They compare these options and then proceed with the best one. However, it's quite different when purchasing physical objects. The problem is that we can't simply buy five different coffee tables to see which one fits best in our specific living spaces.
Will this carpet complement the sofa? Will this dining table fit in the living room? And will these chairs match that table? All these questions were floating around in my mind while I was watching WWDC23, where the Apple Vision Pro was announced. That's how the idea for the IKEA x Apple Vision Pro concept sparked in my head. I immediately knew what would be my first spatial design exploration.
Apple's original visionOS design kit for Figma hadn't been released when I started working on this. So, I ended up taking hundreds of screenshots from the presentation. I used these screenshots as a reference — I really wanted to nail the "native" look and feel of the app. And I'm pretty proud of how it all turned out. I managed to accidentally confuse many people, who thought this was a real IKEA app for visionOS.
Equipped with tons of screenshots from the presentation, I started... Well, that's a story for another time, as I promised you some behind-the-scenes posts.
