So now that visionOS 26 lets you spawn immersive scenes from UIKit apps, I had Codex implement me an immersive scene using Metal and CompositorServices that mirrors the in-window viewport and lets you live in your scene 😁
It's real frickin cool.
The raytracer might be off limits for visionOS, but there's a lot of interesting stuff to do in other areas
