Spatial released Analogue 2, a collaborative design platform built natively for the spatial computing of the Apple Vision Pro.
Developed from the ground up for spatial computing, Analogue 2 is an end-to-end platform that enables creative teams to work together in full 3D context — reviewing, iterating, and finalizing high-fidelity projects in real time, with no code required. You can see some videos here.
“The true potential of the spatial computing era is unlocked when teams can step inside their ideas together. With Analogue 2, we’ve built our immersive design platform that makes this possible, allowing teams to see and feel a project evolve in real time.” said Thomas Hale, chief product officer at Spatial, in a statement. “This immediate, shared context is a catalyst for creativity that fundamentally changes how quickly teams can innovate and make decisions.”
Analogue 2 introduces a new set of breakthrough capabilities built for designers collaborating using Apple Vision Pro with two immersive modules: Workspace & Designer.
Workspace: Your team’s command center
Workspace is the central hub where you manage your team, organize projects, and control your asset library. Workplace features:
- Team & Project Management: Create projects to organize scenes and digital 3D assets. Assign roles to team members to manage permissions and control access.
- Centralized Asset Library: Organize and manage your team’s digital 3D assets in one place.
- Unified Discussions: Track project progress with a unified feed of discussions and notifications.
- Live Design Reviews: Invite your team into a shared scene using SharePlay, allowing you to collaborate in a real-time review session.
Designer: Create in a new dimension
Designer is the native 3D interface where ideas take shape. Leveraging room tracking in visionOS, you can intuitively place and manipulate digital 3D assets. Designer features:
- Intuitive Hand-Based Design: Use natural hand gestures to move, scale, and rotate digital 3D assets or even use precision controls to place the asset in the exact placement.
- Guided Viewpoints: Create a series of Viewpoints to guide your team and clients on a curated journey through your design.
- Contextual Asset Discussions: Attach feedback directly to any digital 3D asset to start a discussion, leave comments, and tag team members.
These capabilities, combined with Apple Vision Pro’s cutting-edge hardware and software, allow design teams to simulate, iterate, and present complex environments with unmatched visual clarity and spatial accuracy.Analogue 2 features native support for the OpenUSD standard, enabling seamless integration into established 3D pipelines and eliminating compatibility issues that have long plagued immersive content production. OpenUSD is gaining rapid support through the 3D industry led by founding members Pixar, Apple, Nvidia, Adobe & Autodesk.
Spatial is an early member of the Alliance for OpenUSD (a group supporting open metaverse efforts) since its founding in 2023, and supports its commitment to helping shape the future of open, interoperable 3D design.
“The intersection of spatial computing and traditional design principles provides new opportunities to rethink bespoke design that creates more meaningful, human-centered experiences for the world’s leading brands,” said Wilhelm Oehl, global partner and chief experience officer at Eight Inc., in a statement. “We’re excited to work with Spatial as they develop Analogue into a transformative tool that reimagines and accelerates the creative workflows.”
Looking ahead, Spatial is actively building an evolving platform for immersive design and collaboration. Later this year, the Spatial Analogue platform will expand further with:
- Analogue 3 is optimized for visionOS 26, incorporating support for real-time collaboration with native support for Logitech Muse.
- Analogue Portal, Spatial’s upcoming companion app allows all team members to access immersive content across Apple products, including iPhone, iPad and Mac.
“The launch of Analogue 2 represents a defining moment, not just for Spatial, but for how we approach immersive design in the era of spatial computing,” said Calin Pacurariu, CEO of Spatial. “By providing easy access to real, everyday utility, this launch demystifies spatial development for creative teams with tools that are as intuitive as they are powerful. This lays the foundation for a more open, immersive design ecosystem that extends far beyond any single platform.”
Analogue 2 is available today on the App Store for Apple Vision Pro. Founded in 2017, Spatial is reimagining how teams design, interact, and solve problems by unlocking the power of spatial computing.
