Apple's Vision Pro Tool Contains Traces of Defunct Game Engine 'The Machinery'

3 hours ago

Apple's Reality Composer Pro 3 beta contains code references to 'The Machinery,' a defunct game development project.
The code includes over 40 mentions and matches aspects of The Machinery's project structure, asset management, and database architecture.
The Machinery was known for its innovative 'The Truth' database-driven system, which aligns with features in Reality Composer Pro like reusable prototypes and live editing.
Tricia Gray, co-founder of Our Machinery (the company behind The Machinery), now works on Apple's spatial computing developer tools team.
It is unclear whether Apple licensed, acquired, or inherited the technology, but the code suggests The Machinery's ideas have been integrated into Apple's toolset.
