Prototyping at Apple

I can’t say too much about the specifics, but I worked in Apple’s Technology Development Group on a prototyping team exploring ideas that eventually found their way into Vision Pro in various forms. Much of the work was sci-fi theater: making prototypes and near-future scenarios convincing enough that other teams could learn from them. It taught me a lot about designing for technology that doesn’t quite exist yet, and about using storytelling and prototyping to figure out what should exist in the first place.
