Howdy cocoaheads!

We have next CocoaHeads event on March 19th at Zozo! 📱

We’ll kick off with a cool presentation on Embedded Swift and HomeKit accessories from Ryan Maxwell (Mobile Team Lead @ Zozo):

“An introduction on what embedded swift is, and a demo of running it on an esp32 board to create a matter light switch using off the shelf components”

Our second talk is Building Reality: Object Detection in visionOS 2 from Tim Santiago (Chapter Lead @ Woolies):

“A brief talk about the development immersive apps using ARKit's object detection capabilities in visionOS 2’s RealityKit.

We'll explore how to create spatial experiences that interact with real-world objects, from setup to deployment.”

This is a unique opportunity to dive into the world of broader iOS Apple development and chat with fellow enthusiasts. See you there! 😀

As usual, if you have exciting topics to share - flick a DM and we would be happy to organise a presentation.

Big thanks to Ryan and Zozo for providing a venue, drinks and pizzas 🙌
