Experiment

A Vision Pro demo where you hunt for one needle in a pile of straw

What we were trying
Someone posted a viral clip of finding a needle in millions of pieces of hay. We wanted to know if look-and-pinch on Vision Pro could make that feel real in the room.
What shipped
A mixed-immersion demo you can walk around. Looking at a strand highlights it. Pinching pulls it out. One strand is the needle. It runs on device at smaller and mid-size piles.
What we learned
A fun idea is useless until it holds frame rate on the headset. Building it taught us where Vision Pro actually bends.
