Containment Unit

Containment Unit is a spatial computing art experience for Apple Vision Pro by technical artist + solo dev K.C. Austin. The robotic device hovers in your space, projecting a futuristic sci-fi UI that lets you design and summon procedural creatures - living digital sculptures that pulse, drift, and respond to you and your environment in rich audiovisual harmony. Containment Unit represents an exploration through a sci-fi vision of augmented reality: a blend of art, technology, and playful super-responsive interaction. The project draws inspiration from my love of biology, generative art, modular synthesis, and science fiction. It’s an ongoing passion project where I can continuously add new experiments and lifeform designs. The app was built with Unity Polyspatial in the Apple Vision Pro using Houdini, Blender, and Ableton Live with a heavy use of shaders. If you have any questions about how it was built, or what it was like developing in the headset for the headset, feel free to reach out any time! -kc Austin
