Trench Cafe: WIP3

This page hosts another experiment with website environments for Apple Vision Pro.

To enable website environments in Apple Vision Pro, navigate to

Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Feature Flags

then enable “Website environments”.

(After enabling website environments, you may need to reload this page)

When you are on a web page with a website environment, tap on the left button in the Safari Address bar (1), and then select “Open Website Environment” (2).

The Apple WWDC video for this feature can be found here:

What’s new for the spatial web

To browse the Internet while remaining in the website environment, open a second Safari window and browse the Internet in the second window. I typically put the Safari window with the web environment off to the side.

Below is a video of me opening the website environment for an early version of this page.

The purpose of the exercise shown in this page’s website environment is to render the trench as a single HDRI image and display that. If this works (and I feel positive about these preliminary results), I can create very complex environments in Blender without worrying about the costs to render them in Apple Vision Pro.

Below is the HDRI rendering of the trench.
