visionOS Design Guidelines

Comprehensive design rules for Apple Vision Pro based on Apple Human Interface Guidelines. These rules ensure spatial computing apps are comfortable, intuitive, and consistent with platform conventions.

1. Spatial Layout [CRITICAL]

Spatial layout determines user comfort and usability. Poor placement causes neck strain, disorientation, or inaccessible content.

Rules

SL-01: Center content in the field of view.
Place primary windows and content directly ahead of the user at eye level. The comfortable vertical viewing range is approximately 30 degrees above and below eye level. Content outside this range requires head movement and causes fatigue.

SL-02: Maintain comfortable distance.
Position content at a natural distance from the user, typically 1-2 meters for windows. Content too close feels invasive; content too far is hard to read. The system default placement is approximately 1.5 meters. Respect this unless there is a strong reason to override.
