Vision Pro: immersive putting
- Slopegraide launched Dream Putt, an immersive putting simulator app for Apple Vision Pro. (golfdaily.com) - The app is built to work with Apple Vision Pro and a Square Golf Launch Monitor for real-world feedback. (golfdaily.com) - This is a niche example of Vision Pro being used for sports training rather than only media consumption. (golfdaily.com)
Golf training is getting a Vision Pro use case: Slopegraide has launched Dream Putt, an immersive putting simulator built for Apple’s headset. (golfdaily.com) Slopegraide said Dream Putt turns an Apple Vision Pro and a Square Golf Launch Monitor into an at-home putting studio, letting users practice putts from more than 100 championship courses. The company announced the launch from Melbourne, Florida on April 13, 2026. (thegolfwire.com) The setup depends on real-world shot tracking, not just headset visuals. Square Golf says its launch monitor uses high-speed camera and machine-vision technology to measure club and ball data, and Slopegraide said Dream Putt uses that feedback for putts inside the app. (squaregolf.co.uk, thegolfwire.com) Putting simulators try to solve a basic practice problem: golfers can rehearse the same stroke indoors, but they usually cannot recreate a specific green, slope, and pace on demand. Slopegraide said Dream Putt is aimed at that gap, including tournament-prep sessions built around repeatable putts without slow play on a real course. (thegolfwire.com) That puts Dream Putt in a narrower corner of the Vision Pro market than the apps Apple has highlighted most heavily. Apple markets Vision Pro around entertainment, communication, productivity, and a growing catalog of “spatial apps,” while the Vision App Store also features sports viewing products such as PGA TOUR Vision. (apple.com, apps.apple.com, apps.apple.com) Golf developers have been testing that niche for a while. Golf Daily reported in 2023 that StrackaLine was building what it called the first golf app for Vision Pro, and newer Vision Pro golf apps on Apple’s App Store include course-preview tools such as Immersion Golf. (golfdaily.com, apps.apple.com) Slopegraide’s own site now lists Dream Putt as available on Apple Vision Pro, suggesting the company has moved from teaser mode into a live product push. The remaining constraint is hardware: Apple Vision Pro is still a premium headset, and Dream Putt also requires a separate launch monitor to deliver the ball-tracking piece. (slopegraide.com, apple.com, squaregolf.co.uk) For Vision Pro, Dream Putt is less about watching golf than rehearsing it. For golf tech companies, it is a bet that mixed reality can sell as a training tool when it is tied to measurable swing and ball data. (golfdaily.com, squaregolf.co.uk)
