If spatial anchors handle tracking, accessories handle interaction — the physical tools that let students touch, hold, and steer a spatial lesson. Here are three we're following for future labs.
A small tracking module that clips onto a physical tool — a knife, a whisk — so the headset can follow it in real time. A tag that tells the system exactly where a tool is and how it's moving: ideal for teaching technique, hand position, and safety.
A handheld controller with buttons and haptic feedback — a real object students hold to interact with a lesson instead of tapping a screen. Grab it, turn it, feel it respond: the physical handle for a digital experience.
A spatial stylus built for Apple Vision Pro that brings fine, pen-like precision to spatial apps — drawing, annotating, and manipulating 3D objects with a steady hand. The natural fit for detailed, hands-on work in a culinary lab.
A screen tap is abstract. Picking up a real tool, feeling it respond, and steering a 3D model with your own hand is how a lesson becomes muscle memory. Accessories like these turn a spatial lab from something you watch into something you do.
