The session opened with a live walkthrough of building, running and notarising a native application by conversing with Claude inside Xcode, followed by a demonstration of an existing globe and solar-system app on Vision Pro, and then turned into a sustained inquiry into what a personal knowledge space should actually contain and how its contents should behave once they are in space. Much of the conversation circled one question put to everyone in turn — what are the things you would want to hold, move and connect? — with answers ranging from books, artworks and works-in-process to overheard names, calendar entries, transcript fragments and thoughts had while walking. Running alongside were threads on perception, movement and attention as design constraints, on provenance and social annotation, and a more sober thread on what these tools cost and what still cannot be handed to them. https://futuretextlab.info/2026/07/22/27-july-26/
