Interaptix had already established itself as a pioneer in spatial computing for industrial safety and digital twins. With the release of Apple Vision Pro, they saw an opportunity to redefine Doppl—transforming it from a powerful but complex headset tool into a frictionless, intuitive spatial workspace. Our mission was to humanize mixed reality for engineers, turning precision tools into collaborative experiences.
Spatial computing is a new frontier—but it can easily overwhelm. Our work with Interaptix centered on translating deeply technical workflows into intuitive, embodied interactions. We merged the company’s industrial-grade precision with Apple’s human-centered design language, crafting an experience that felt natural yet capable. From hand gestures to layered data visualization, every interaction was tuned for clarity, confidence, and flow.
The original Doppl was a powerful tool for mapping and collaboration in industrial environments, but it required heavy onboarding and frequent recalibration. Data visualization often felt detached from the real-world context it described.
With Vision Pro, the challenge became twofold: reduce friction while increasing depth. We had to design for a new form of literacy—spatial interaction—without losing the accuracy and trust that engineers depend on.
We started by mapping out how engineers used Doppl on-site—how they moved, looked, and collaborated. The key realization: spatial computing wasn’t about adding more data, but aligning it with human perception. We designed a system where context emerged through movement, not menus.

Cross-platform motion audit
VisionOS pattern translation
We restructured the experience around zones of attention: surface, workspace, and world. Information density adapted to proximity and gaze, keeping focus clear while preserving context. Gestures replaced clicks; head direction replaced cursors. Doppl became fluid, responsive, and fully spatial.

Layered data hierarchy
We designed interfaces that felt like light—anchored in space, yet weightless. Industrial colours grounded the brand; depth and translucency drew from Apple’s spatial design language. The result was Doppl reimagined: precise enough for engineers, elegant enough for anyone to use.

The Doppl redesign made spatial collaboration effortless. Through gesture-based interaction, contextual layers, and gaze-driven navigation, users could inspect, annotate, and share 3D scans in situ. It turned field data into living, shared space.
The Vision Pro redesign of Doppl redefined how industrial teams interact with complex data. What was once a technical tool became a living workspace—bridging field and office, digital and physical, human and system.
