Show HN: Apple's Unreleased Persona Body Animation Solver, Running on a Mac

Category: other

Tags: vision-pro, body-tracking, coreik

Score: 3.5/10 (Innovation: 3, Technical: 6, Documentation: 3, Utility: 2)

This project demonstrates Apple's unreleased CoreIK body tracking solver running in the visionOS simulator on a Mac, without a Vision Pro headset. It is primarily a legal evidence exhibit in a discrimination lawsuit against Apple, showing that Apple's own code can function independently of the hardware. While technically interesting for exposing hidden Apple frameworks, its utility is narrow and the documentation is fragmented by legal narrative.

Target audience: backend devs
