Introduction: The Era of Immersive Collaboration Has Arrived

With the launch of Apple Vision Pro, a spatial computing device, the digital world is moving beyond 2D screens into a new era of 3D immersive experiences. In this context, Spatial's new product—Analogue 2—was born. Developed specifically for Apple Vision Pro, this design platform marks a leap in collaborative design and brings "virtual reality" into daily work and life.

From Collaboration to Creation, From Tool to Ecosystem

Analogue 2 is more than just a tool—it's a new way to collaborate. Designers no longer need complex modeling software or tedious file transfers. Instead, they get an intuitive, natural, highly interactive 3D space where teams can view and adjust designs in real time.

Its biggest highlight: it breaks physical boundaries, letting team members, no matter where they are, share the same design scene and experience the true form and details of their work. This unprecedented immersion is pushing the design industry toward higher efficiency and quality.

Workspace: Your Collaboration Command Center

For design teams, collaboration management is often complex and time-consuming. Analogue 2 offers a powerful "Workspace" module—the hub of the whole process.

  • Project Management & Permissions: Teams can create independent project spaces, assign roles, and control asset access, ensuring security and order.
  • Unified Discussion Area: All design comments, feedback, and notifications are centralized, avoiding scattered communication across emails and chat groups.
  • Real-Time Collaborative Meetings: With Apple Vision Pro's SharePlay, teams can easily invite others into shared scenes for face-to-face reviews and edits.

Designer: A New World of Hand-Based Creation

If Workspace is the coordinator, Designer is the creator. As a core feature, Designer offers a fully hand-interactive 3D design environment.

  • Gesture Controls: Move, rotate, and scale models with natural gestures for precise placement.
  • Guided Viewpoints: Designers can create visual exploration routes for clients, leading them step by step through the design.
  • Asset Discussions Embedded in Models: Team members can comment on specific models and tag others, improving targeted communication and efficiency.

Analogue 2 also supports the OpenUSD standard, greatly improving cross-system compatibility and supporting future metaverse design.

Opening the Next Door to the Metaverse

Analogue 2 is not just a technical breakthrough—it's a major step toward the metaverse. By seamlessly merging design and collaboration, Spatial helps designers find new value in the spatial computing era.

Spatial will continue to expand the platform, with Analogue 3 and Analogue Portal on the way, further enriching user scenarios. With such tools, more creativity will be unleashed, and the boundaries of the metaverse will keep expanding.

As Spatial CEO Calin Pacurariu said: "Analogue 2 is not just a tool—it's a way to the future." In this process, design is not just about creating beauty, but about shaping a more open, immersive, and connected world.
