From interactive images to 360\u00b0 tours, we\u2019ve helped educators, trainers, and professionals bring learning closer to reality. Now, we\u2019re excited to take that mission one step further by rolling out two new products for spatial content creation and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember3278\">ThingLink for Apple Vision Pro: An End-to-End Spatial Creation and Learning Flow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember3279\">ThingLink\u2019s new application for Apple Vision Pro (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/10\/apple-vision-pro-upgraded-with-the-m5-chip-and-dual-knit-band\/\">featured in Apple press release on Thursday<\/a>) makes it easy to create <strong>context-aware spatial training experiences in physical environments<\/strong>.<strong> <\/strong>Using the headsets native recording capabilities and ThingLink editor in Apple Vision Pro, experts and educators can create interactive learning experiences literally by walking and talking. As learners walk through a space and focus their attention to objects around them, the application shows a spatial overlay with contextual information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-wistia-inc wp-block-embed-wistia-inc\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"ThingLink for Apple Vision Pro Video\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/frdyxsb5x5?dnt=1#?secret=GY2JNMlnuN\" data-secret=\"GY2JNMlnuN\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember3281\">ThingLink Capture: Bringing Spatial Creation to Every Workplace and Classroom with iPhones and iPads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember3282\">In the next weeks, we are also introducing ThingLink Capture, an integrated application for easy 3D scanning. Workplaces and schools already using iOS devices with LiDAR scanners can begin to learn future-ready skills by creating their own spatial experiences; interactive 3D manuals<strong>, <\/strong>employee and student onboarding, or the next generation science and art exhibitions. ThingLink Capture lets you save these models to your own account on ThingLink or directly to Apple Vision Pro, where you can easily add rich media annotations and conversational guidance to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember3283\">Whether you have Apple Vision Pro today does not matter, but when you do, the content will already be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember3285\">Expanding Spatial Learning Across Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember3286\">In the coming years, millions of students and employees will develop new skills through a wide range of contextual learning experiences using a wide range of devices. We are living through a paradigm shift; moving from staring at one small screen to wearing lightweight glasses that deliver contextual knowledge and real-time guidance exactly when it\u2019s needed. The experience we\u2019re now introducing across the Apple ecosystem is just the beginning; our vision is to make this seamless creation flow and learning experience available across all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AVP-blog-post-video.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember3290\">Be a Pioneer in Spatial Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember3291\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a short demo with our team today to discuss your project and start building your first spatial experience for Apple Vision Pro!<\/a> If you have an Apple Vision Pro, <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/thinglink-for-apple-vision\/id6751186358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">download the app<\/a> to try a live demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ulla-maaria-koivula-engestr%C3%B6m-hull-23589\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For over a decade, we have been on a mission: to make the world easier to understand by connecting digital knowledge to real-life environments.
