• 7:10 PM: Creating Delightful, High-Performance Animations in SwiftUI - Amit Samant
• SwiftUI makes it easier than ever to build beautiful animations but creating smooth, continuous animations that run efficiently at 120 fps requires a deeper understanding of how SwiftUI renders and manages views.

In this talk, we’ll explore how to build a slow, infinite panning animation entirely in SwiftUI, and the challenges we solved around performance, memory usage, and GPU-efficient rendering to achieve fluid, production-ready results. We’ll also uncover a few lesser-known animation techniques that unlock surprisingly seamless transitions in real apps.

This session is perfect for developers who want to push SwiftUI beyond basic animations and create truly delightful, high-performance user experiences.

• 7:40 PM: Diving into Apple Immersive Video - Liu Linxuan (Spatial Singapore)
