Swift Meetup Munich #38 - Apple Edition

Dear Swifties,

we'll start 2026 with a bang. Our friends @ Apple are hosting us 🥳.

Agenda
18:30 - Event will start with 🍻
Prepare yourself with some drinks and engaging discussions. Get enthusiastic about the first talk!

19:00 - ① Session
let title = “Building Voice-Driven Search with Speech & Foundation Models"
let abstract = "What if users could just say 'Vegan pizza under 10 euros' - and your app figures out the rest?
In this talk, I’ll build a small voice-powered search feature using Apple’s Speech framework for transcription and Foundation Models for on-device intent understanding."
let author = {"Haydar Sahin", "Old man yells at Claude", "Netlight x Wolt"}

19:30-20:00 - Foodie Session!
Time for a little 🍕break and mingling!

20:00 - ② Session
let title = "Zero to 3D: Building a Game Engine from Scratch with Nothing but Swift & Metal"
let abstract = "What does it take to build a 3D voxel game engine for iOS from scratch in Swift: no Unity, no SceneKit, just Metal and your own rendering pipeline. This talk is the story of doing exactly that. We’ll walk through setting up a Metal rendering pipeline, generating procedural terrain, writing shaders for lighting and fog, and optimizing everything to run smoothly on an iPhone."
let author = {"Sébastien Letzelter", "DIY Engine Enthusiast", "Netlight"}

20:30 - ③ Session
TBD
