Hi guys, has any individual develper received Vision Pro dev kit or is it just aimed at big companies? Basically I would like to start with one or 2 of my apps that I removed from the store already, just to get familiar with VisionOS platform and gain knowledge and skills on a small, but real project. After that I would like to use the Dev kit on another project. I work on a contract for mutlinational communication company on a pilot project in a small country and extending that project to VisionOS might be very interesting introduction of this new platform and could excite users utilizing their services. However I cannot quite reveal to Apple details for reasons of confidentiality. After completing that contract (or during that if I manage) I would like to start working on a great idea I do have for Vision Pro (as many of you do). Is it worth applying for Dev kit as an individual dev? I have read some posts, that guys were rejected. Is is better to start in simulator and just wait for actual hardware to show up in App Store? I would prefer to just get the device, rather than start working with the device that I may need to return in the middle of unfinished project. Any info on when pre-orders might be possible? Any idea what Mac specs are for developing for VisionOS - escpecially for 3D scenes. Just got Macbook Pro M3 Max with 96GB RAM, I'm thinknig if I should have maxed out the config. Anybody using that config with Vision Pro Dev kit? Thanks.

In visionOS, how can I use vision in machine learning to recognize hand gestures? After all, currently visionOS does not provide any image frame data.

I have a live text implementation on the following LiveTextImageView. However, after the view loads and the analyze code is run, none of the delegate methods fire when I interact with the Live View. Selecting text does not fire the textSelectionDidChange method, nor does highlightSelectedItemsDidChange fire when the live text button in the bottom right is pressed. I tried a few different implementations, including an approach where the delegate was defined on a separate class. I am running this on a iPhone 12 Pro I recently updated to 17.0.3. My goal is to be able to provide additional options to the user beyond the default live-text overlay options, after identifying when they have finished selecting text. // // LiveTextImageView.swift // import UIKit import SwiftUI import VisionKit class ImageAnalyzerWrapper { static let shared = ImageAnalyzer() private init() { } } struct LiveTextImageViewRepresentable: UIViewRepresentable { var image: UIImage func makeUIView(context: Context) -> LiveTextImageView { return LiveTextImageView(image: image) } func updateUIView(_ uiView: LiveTextImageView, context: Context) { } } class LiveTextImageView: UIImageView, ImageAnalysisInteractionDelegate, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate { var capturedSelectedText: String? let analyzer = ImageAnalyzerWrapper.shared let interaction = ImageAnalysisInteraction() init(image: UIImage) { super.init(frame: .zero) self.image = image let photoWrapper = PhotoWrapper(rawPhoto: image) let resizedPhoto = photoWrapper.viewportWidthCroppedPhoto(padding: 40) self.image = resizedPhoto self.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit self.addInteraction(interaction) interaction.preferredInteractionTypes = [] interaction.analysis = nil analyzeImage() } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } func analyzeImage() { if let image = self.image { Task { let configuration = ImageAnalyzer.Configuration([.text]) do { let analysis = try await analyzer.analyze(image, configuration: configuration) self.addInteraction(interaction) interaction.delegate = self interaction.analysis = analysis interaction.preferredInteractionTypes = .textSelection } catch { print("Error in live image handling") } } } } func interaction( _ interaction: ImageAnalysisInteraction, highlightSelectedItemsDidChange highlightSelectedItems: Bool) async { print("Highlighted items changed") } func interaction(_ interaction: ImageAnalysisInteraction, shouldBeginAt point: CGPoint, for interactionType: ImageAnalysisInteraction.InteractionTypes) async -> Bool { return interaction.hasInteractiveItem(at: point) || interaction.hasActiveTextSelection } func textSelectionDidChange(_ interaction: ImageAnalysisInteraction) async { print("Changed!") if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { capturedSelectedText = interaction.text print(capturedSelectedText ?? "") } } }

Hi Everyone, I'm having a strange crash on App launch with iOS16 when I have a reference to an iOS17 only framework in my code. Even if I wrap the code in #available, I still get the crash on launch; and the code isn't even called yet... just the existence of it causes the crash. Pretty strange I thought? The framework is VisionKit, and the code that causes the crash is if #available(iOS 17, *) { // .imageSubject is iOS17 only - but this causes // a crash on launch in iOS16 even with the #available check interaction.preferredInteractionTypes = .imageSubject } The crash is: Referenced from: <91ED5216-D66C-3649-91DA-B31C0B55DDA1> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/78FD9C93-5657-4FF5-85E7-A44B60717870/XXXXXX.app/XXXXXX Expected in: <AF01C435-3C37-3C7C-84D9-9B5EA3A59F5C> /System/Library/Frameworks/VisionKit.framework/VisionKit Any thoughts anyone?? I know the .imageSubject is iOS17 only, but the #available should catch it - no? Any why does it crash immediatley on launch, when that code is not even called? Odd!

Hi team, We have an iOS app. Since July 15, 2022, our users met a kind of app crash due to an invalid memory fetch. The time is when Apple released iOS 16 beta officially. After Sep 12, crash count started to increase drastically. The time is Apple released iOS 16 officially. Crash backtrace can be seen as follows.

I just grabbed the portal code made available for testing and ran into this error when trying to run in simulator Vision Pro Thread 1: Fatal error: SwiftUI Scene ImmersiveSpace requires a UISceneSessionRole of "UISceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication" for key UIApplicationPreferredDefaultSceneSessionRole in the Application Scene Manifest.

Using VNDocumentCameraViewController, if the document is automatically scanned, it cannot be obtained in the func documentCameraViewController (_ controller: VNDocumentCameraViewController, didFinishWith scan: VNDocumentCameraScan) {}. If manual photography is used, data can be obtained May I ask how to solve it?

I trying to scan credit card but i am getting some issue with printed( Pressed ) number on card and some dark background with dark card numbers as well not scanning. Please help me to smooth scan for every cards. Thanks.

Hi, do you know if it's possible to handle the flashlight inside DataScannerViewController? I tried with AVCaptureDevice.DiscoverySession, but clearly when torchmode is on DataScannerViewController freeze... Thanks Luca

Hi, When using VNFeaturePrintObservation and then computing the distance using two images, the values that it returns varies heavily. When two identical images (same image file) is inputted into function (below) that I have used to compare the images, the distance does not return 0 while it is expected to, since they are identical images. Also, what is the upper limit of computeDistance? I am trying to find the percentage similarity between the two images. (Of course, this cannot be done unless the issue above is resolved). Code that I have used is below func featureprintObservationForImage(image: UIImage) -> VNFeaturePrintObservation? {     let requestHandler = VNImageRequestHandler(cgImage: image.cgImage!, options: [:])     let request = VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequest()     request.usesCPUOnly = true // Simulator Testing     do {       try requestHandler.perform([request])       return request.results?.first as? VNFeaturePrintObservation     } catch {       print("Vision Error: \(error)")       return nil     }   }   func compare(origImg: UIImage, drawnImg: UIImage) -> Float? {     let oImgObservation = featureprintObservationForImage(image: origImg)     let dImgObservation = featureprintObservationForImage(image: drawnImg)     if let oImgObservation = oImgObservation {       if let dImgObservation = dImgObservation {         var distance: Float = -1         do {           try oImgObservation.computeDistance(&distance, to: dImgObservation)         } catch {           fatalError("Failed to Compute Distance")         }         if distance == -1 {           return nil         } else {           return distance         }       } else {         print("Drawn Image Observation found Nil")       }     } else {       print("Original Image Observation found Nil")     }     return nil   } Thanks for all the help!

In VisionOS is it possible to detect when a user is touching a physical surface in the real world and also to project 2D graphics on that surface? So imagine a windowless 2D app that is projected onto a surface, essentially turning a physical wall, table, etc. into a giant touchscreen? So kinda like this: https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/06/23/vision-pro-will-turn-any-surface-into-a-display-with-touch-control But I want every surface in the room to be touchable and be able to display 2D graphics on the face of that surface and not floating in space. So essentially turning every physical surface in the room into a UIView. Thanks!

With the release of Xcode 13, a large section of my vision framework processing code became errors and cannot compile. All of these have became deprecated. This is my original code:  do {       // Perform VNDetectHumanHandPoseRequest       try handler.perform([handPoseRequest])       // Continue only when a hand was detected in the frame.       // Since we set the maximumHandCount property of the request to 1, there will be at most one observation.       guard let observation = handPoseRequest.results?.first else {         self.state = "no hand"         return       }       // Get points for thumb and index finger.       let thumbPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: .handLandmarkRegionKeyThumb)       let indexFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: .handLandmarkRegionKeyIndexFinger)       let middleFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: .handLandmarkRegionKeyMiddleFinger)       let ringFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: .handLandmarkRegionKeyRingFinger)       let littleFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: .handLandmarkRegionKeyLittleFinger)       let wristPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: .all)               // Look for tip points.       guard let thumbTipPoint = thumbPoints[.handLandmarkKeyThumbTIP],          let thumbIpPoint = thumbPoints[.handLandmarkKeyThumbIP],          let thumbMpPoint = thumbPoints[.handLandmarkKeyThumbMP],          let thumbCMCPoint = thumbPoints[.handLandmarkKeyThumbCMC] else {         self.state = "no tip"         return       }               guard let indexTipPoint = indexFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyIndexTIP],          let indexDipPoint = indexFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyIndexDIP],          let indexPipPoint = indexFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyIndexPIP],          let indexMcpPoint = indexFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyIndexMCP] else {         self.state = "no index"         return       }               guard let middleTipPoint = middleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyMiddleTIP],          let middleDipPoint = middleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyMiddleDIP],          let middlePipPoint = middleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyMiddlePIP],          let middleMcpPoint = middleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyMiddleMCP] else {         self.state = "no middle"         return       }               guard let ringTipPoint = ringFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyRingTIP],          let ringDipPoint = ringFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyRingDIP],          let ringPipPoint = ringFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyRingPIP],          let ringMcpPoint = ringFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyRingMCP] else {         self.state = "no ring"         return       }               guard let littleTipPoint = littleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyLittleTIP],          let littleDipPoint = littleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyLittleDIP],          let littlePipPoint = littleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyLittlePIP],          let littleMcpPoint = littleFingerPoints[.handLandmarkKeyLittleMCP] else {         self.state = "no little"         return       }               guard let wristPoint = wristPoints[.handLandmarkKeyWrist] else {         self.state = "no wrist"         return       } ... } Now every line from thumbPoints onwards results in error, I have fixed the first part (not sure if it is correct or not as it cannot compile) to :         let thumbPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: VNHumanHandPoseObservation.JointsGroupName.thumb.rawValue)        let indexFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: VNHumanHandPoseObservation.JointsGroupName.indexFinger.rawValue)        let middleFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: VNHumanHandPoseObservation.JointsGroupName.middleFinger.rawValue)        let ringFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: VNHumanHandPoseObservation.JointsGroupName.ringFinger.rawValue)        let littleFingerPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: VNHumanHandPoseObservation.JointsGroupName.littleFinger.rawValue)        let wristPoints = try observation.recognizedPoints(forGroupKey: VNHumanHandPoseObservation.JointsGroupName.littleFinger.rawValue) I tried many different things but just could not get the retrieving individual points to work. Can anyone help on fixing this?

How can I achieve full control over Vision Pro's display and effectively render a 2D graph plot on it? I would appreciate guidance on the necessary steps or code snippets. P.s. As per Apple documentation For a more immersive experience, an app can open a dedicated Full Space where only that app’s content will appear. This still does not fulfill the 'flat bounded 2D' requirement as the Spaces provide an unbounded 3D immersive view.

First of all this vision api is amazing. the OCR is very accurate. I've been looking to multiprocess using the vision API. I have about 2 million PDFs I want to OCR, and I want to run multiple threads/run parallel processing to OCR each. I tried pyobjc but it does not work so well. Any suggestions on tackling this problem?

Hi, Can VisionPro see outside and let us take a picture from code/iOS/Programming? Eg: like we used to have camera permission on iPad/iPhone to have access to device camera. Thank you

My app uses the Vision framework to find images that are visually similar. Before WWDC23, this code worked predictably to request image observations and compare images: private func observe(cgImage: CGImage?) -> VNFeaturePrintObservation? { var returnVal: VNFeaturePrintObservation? = nil guard let cgImage = cgImage else {return returnVal} let imageRequestHandler = VNImageRequestHandler(cgImage: cgImage, options: [:]) let request = VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequest() request.usesCPUOnly = true do { try imageRequestHandler.perform([request]) returnVal = request.results?.first as? VNFeaturePrintObservation } catch { } return returnVal } func similarity(to compareAsset: Asset) -> Float { var dist = Float.infinity if let obs = self.observation, let compareObs = compareAsset.observation { try? obs.computeDistance(&dist, to: compareObs) } return dist } In the new frameworks, there is a new VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequestRevision value, and observations made with different request revisions can't be compared. If you try, you get an error: Error Domain=com.apple.vis Code=12 "The revision of the observations do not match" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The revision of the observations do not match}. The docs state that by explicitly setting the new VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequestRevision property on my requests, I can force the request to use a particular version. But I've updated the above code to do this, but explicitly setting the revision of my request doesn't work, and my app still gets tons of errors about mismatched request revisions. Here's the updated code: private func observe(cgImage: CGImage?) -> VNFeaturePrintObservation? { var returnVal: VNFeaturePrintObservation? = nil guard let cgImage = cgImage else {return returnVal} let imageRequestHandler = VNImageRequestHandler(cgImage: cgImage, options: [:]) let request = VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequest() if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { request.revision = VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequestRevision2 } else { request.revision = VNGenerateImageFeaturePrintRequestRevision1 } request.usesCPUOnly = true do { try imageRequestHandler.perform([request]) returnVal = request.results?.first as? VNFeaturePrintObservation } catch { print("\(type(of: self)) :: \(#function) :: error in observation request \(error)") } return returnVal } func similarity(to compareAsset: Asset) -> Float { var dist = Float.infinity if let obs = self.observation, let compareObs = compareAsset.observation { do { try obs.computeDistance(&dist, to: compareObs) } catch { print("\(type(of: self)) :: \(#function) :: error in simvalue \(error)") if (error as NSError).code == 12 { let revision = obs.requestRevision let compareRevision = compareObs.requestRevision print("\(type(of: self)) :: \(#function) :: simValue req mismatch \(revision) \(compareRevision)") } } } return dist } This breaks my app, and I can't figure out how to reliably force requests to the revision number I need. What am I doing wrong here? Will this behavior sort itself out as the SDK evolves? Thanks y'all

I got a crash when right click on an image in a web page loaded by WKWebView. The log and stack trace show that it might related to VisionKit. I think it may related to copy text on image feature. I don't know how to fix it. So I just want to disable VisionKit on WKWebView to check whether it fix the issue or not. Do you know how to do it?

Hi! Wondering if there's a way to add subject lifting to images in my SwiftUI app without relying on UIViewControllerRepresentable and Coordinators to adopt the ImageAnalysisInteraction protocol. Thank you!
