Glass material in visionOS creates a visual foundation that adapts to different environments while maintaining content clarity.

How glass material works:

• Environmental adaptation: Windows automatically adjust their appearance based on surroundings. Glass responds to lighting conditions, from bright daylight to evening darkness.
• Visual depth: Specular highlights and shadows help establish window position in space. This subtle physicality makes interfaces feel natural in any environment.
• Transparency balance: Glass allows subtle visibility of background content while maintaining focus on current tasks. This creates a lighter feel and helps users stay aware of their surroundings.

How to use materials effectively:

• Avoid solid, opaque windows that feel heavy
• Use darker materials to separate content sections
• Apply lighter materials to highlight interactive elements
• Prevent stacking of light materials to maintain contrast
• Let system materials handle light and dark adaptation automatically
