If many developers hesitate on Vision Pro, TikTok wastes no time
The new viewer Apple it doesn’t attract attention just for the technical solutionsthe design or the fact that its users also wear it for guide, but it makes news due to the lack of interest of some developers in launching native apps that allow you to access your services by exploiting the potential of the platform (speaking of viewers, do you know what the difference is between virtual reality and augmented reality?).
This is the case, above all, of Netflix and to a lesser extent than YouTube (although Google has promised that it is working on it), but TikTok has wasted no time and has just launched a version of its app completely rewritten from scratch specifically for Vision Pro.
In fact, let’s remember that to increase the apps available at the launch for the new device, Apple not only offers the possibility to create native apps specially developed, but allows for compatibility of app for iPadeven if these are performed in one window and do not exploit the potential immersive of the viewer.
TikTok chose the first option and its app is decidedly different from the one for mobile devices. The interface will look relatively familiar to anyone who has used traditional iOS or Android apps, with a feeds vertically oriented for videos and buttons to put I like, comment, save And share.
But the company took advantage of the greater space available to show other elements of the interface, which allows you to access comments and profiles of creators on a pane on the right so as not to obscure the main video player.
Without forgetting that on VisionPro you can watch videos of TikTok either by leaving the real world visible in the background or by inserting a virtual location like the surface of the Moon.
TikTok says its new app allows you to “experience your For You feed in a whole new way through this immersive content view“.
The app is available for download from the App Store, but several observers launch a warning. With TikTok it’s easy to lose the sense of timeand on Vision Pro it is even worse as time it is not clearly visible and several users have already reported how this contributes to generating a feeling of alienation and detachment from the reality.
