Ryan Lintott – Unicodices: Edge cases in SwiftUI Text and Speech

"If you want to present unsupported languages in iOS you will likely find the edges of Apple’s frameworks. SwiftUI and AVFoundation were not designed with Old English in mind so when the medieval world meets the modern, you have to get creative. This talk is about working around these edge cases and understanding more about SwiftUI Text and AVSpeechSynthesis in the process."

Yono Mittlefehldt – Computer Vision, Not Just For Breakfast Anymore

"Computer Vision may seem like a daunting subject, but Apple’s Vision framework makes a lot of complicated algorithms accessible to every iOS developer. Apple continues to push Augmented Reality (AR). With their rumoured, sure-to-come-out-any-day AR glasses, competence in computer vision will only become more important going forward.

In this talk, we will journey through a few silly computer vision related game ideas, but along the way, you will learn some serious concepts. By the end, you should have some idea of what’s easily possible using the Vision framework and hopefully be able to find some ways to integrate the Vision framework into future projects. Also, computer vision is awesome."
