For my Princeton Computer Science Thesis, I am working with Professor David Reinfurt and Professor Parastoo Abtahi to reimagine a new home view interface for the Apple Vision Pro.

Introduction:

Apple has been a leading innovator in user interface design, actively shaping the way users interact with technology. Apple continues to innovate and push design boundaries even in the AR space with the visionOS; however, despite the exciting potential of immersive 3D environments, the Vision Pro’s home screen interface lacks a novelty in its design. Still reminiscent of the familiar 2D design frameworks of Apple’s existing operating systems…

The immersive 3D environment is contrasted with the screen’s flat multi-page app icon layout, confining the user to swipe through pages of apps—despite the potential of the user’s full range of sight as a screen.

This thesis aims to integrate Apple’s well established design principles with an innovative interface approach from the lens of graphic design and HCI ambient media concepts.
