About InVision SF

San Francisco has always been a city of dreams and ideas, but today, it needs reconnection. InVision SF uses Apple Vision Pro’s spatial computing to invite users back into the heart of the city—virtually exploring its neighbourhoods, events, and culture through intuitive gestures and AI-driven personalization.

Developed by our team in collaboration with San Francisco State University faculty and supported by the Mayor’s Office and Port of San Francisco, InVision SF is more than an app. It’s an immersive experience designed to bridge technology and community, revitalizing local engagement and reimagining how we interact with the places that matter.
