Hi there I'm using Reality Composer Pro to anchor virtual content to a .referenceobject. However moving the referenceobject quickly causes tracking to stop. (I know this is a limitation and I am trying to embrace it as a feature) Is there a way to play a USDZ animation at the last known location, after detecting that the reference object is no longer tracked? is it possible to set this up in Reality Composer pro? I'm trying to get the USDZ to play before the Virtual Content disappears (due to reference object not being located). So that it smooths out the vanishing of the content. Nearly everything is set up in Reality Composer pro with my immersive.scene just adding virtual content to the reference object which anchors it in the RCP Scene, so my immersive view just does this - if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(immersiveContentEntity) & this .onAppear { appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .open } .onDisappear { appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .closed } I have tried Using SpatialTracking & WorldTrackingProvider, but I'm still quite new to Swift and coding in general so im unsure how to implement in conjunction with my RCP scene and/or if this is the right way to go about it. Also I have implemented this at the beginning of object tracking. All I had to do was add a onAppear behavior to the object to play a USDZ and that works. Doing it for disappearing (due to loss of reference object) seems to be a lot harder.

I can't create any breakpoint in my Xcode after I upgraded to macOS 15.4 macOS: Version 15.4 (24E248) visionOS Simulator: 2.3 Xcode: Version 16.2 (16C5032a) My app works well without any breakpoints. But if I create any breakpoint it shows me this: Couldn't find the Objective-C runtime library in loaded images. Message from debugger: The LLDB RPC server has crashed. You may need to manually terminate your process. The crash log is located in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and has a prefix 'lldb-rpc-server'. Please file a bug and attach the most recent crash log.

Hope to achieve stable transmission And the colors are different. The colors in the glasses are not consistent with the colors projected on the screen.

I have two cubes in my blender project. But one gets lost after importing the USDZ file which is exported from the blender project. It seems that Apple frameworks don't support non-English USDZ.

While using Screen Mirroring in developer mode within my immersive space, I noticed an alignment issue with the computer cursor (transparent circle). When I move it toward an attachment view, the cursor remains horizontal instead of aligning with the surface of the attachment view. It shows correctly on a 2D window only wrong on attachment view. Is this behavior a bug, or could it be caused by a missing or incorrect configuration on the attachment view? Want help, thanks.

So I have web Augmented Reality apps hosted on AWS S3. It worked fine for a month, but as soon as the IOS 18.4 update was installed they stopped working. It works on every other device and IOS versions. The URLs for the mentioned AR experiences: digitechonline.in/solsprefimaginewt8/ digitechonline.in/solsprefimaginewt8p2/ digitechonline.in/orocarear/ These AR experiences get stuck on the loading screen and either reload or give an error. Ideally the camera is supposed to open. I have tested it on Safari, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers. They were created through Unity webgl and hosted on AWS S3 bucket. Please provide a quick solution to this.

Is it possible to detect distance from the vision pro to real live objects and people? I tried using scene.raycast to perform a raycast forward from the center of the viewport, but it doesn't seem to react to real life objects, only entities. I see mentioned here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/776807?answerId=829576022#829576022, that a raycast with scene reconstruction should allow me to measure that distance, as long as the object is non-moving. How could I accomplish that?

Hi everyone, I'm developing a MR Vision Pro app where I’d like to anchor virtual objects (such as UI elements) around the user's arm. However, I’ve noticed that Vision Pro seems to mask out the area where the user’s real arm is, hiding virtual content in that region so that you see your real arm. Is there a way to render virtual elements on the user's arm—so that it looks like the object is placed directly on the arm despite the real-world passthrough? I was hoping there might be a way to adjust the depth or behavior of this masked-out region. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Hi! I attempted to run a sample project for detecting human pose in photos, which can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/detecting-human-body-poses-in-3d-with-vision The project works perfectly when run on my Macbook Pro M1, but it fails on Apple Vision Pro. After selecting the photo an endless loading screen is presented and the following output is produced in the console: Failed to initialize 2D Detection Algorithm. Failed to initialize 2D Pose Estimation Algorithm. Failed to initialize algorithm modules Network path is nil: (null) Failed to initialize 2D Detection Algorithm. Failed to initialize 2D Pose Estimation Algorithm. Failed to initialize algorithm modules Unable to perform the request: Error Domain=com.apple.Vision Code=9 "Async status object reported as failed but without an error" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Async status object reported as failed but without an error}. de-activating session 70138 after timeout It seems that VNDetectHumanBodyPose3DRequest is failing on Vision Pro for some reason. Are there any additional requirements for running Vision framework on VisionOS, that I might be missing?

Hi there, I'm trying to merge the mesh anchor into a single mesh, but couldn't find any resources on this. Here is the code where I make the mesh from each mesh anchor, and assigned it to a model component with a shader graph material. func run(_ sceneRec: SceneReconstructionProvider) async { for await update in sceneRec.anchorUpdates { switch update.event { case .added, .updated: // Get or create entity for this anchor let anchorEntity = anchors[update.anchor.id] ?? { let entity = ModelEntity() root?.addChild(entity) anchors[update.anchor.id] = entity return entity }() // Remove any existing children for child in anchorEntity.children { child.removeFromParent() } // Generate the mesh from the anchor guard let mesh = try? await MeshResource(from: update.anchor) else { return } guard let shape = try? await ShapeResource.generateStaticMesh(from: update.anchor) else { continue } print("Mesh added, vertices: \(update.anchor.geometry.vertices.count), bounds: \(mesh.bounds)") // Get the material to use var material: RealityKit.Material if isMaterialLoaded, let loadedMaterial = self.shaderMaterial { material = loadedMaterial } else { // Use a temporary material until the shader loads var tempMaterial = UnlitMaterial() tempMaterial.color = .init(tint: .purple.withAlphaComponent(0.5)) material = tempMaterial } await MainActor.run { anchorEntity.components.set(ModelComponent(mesh: mesh, materials: [material])) anchorEntity.setTransformMatrix(update.anchor.originFromAnchorTransform, relativeTo: nil) // Add collision component with static flag - required for spatial interactions anchorEntity.components.set(CollisionComponent( shapes: [shape], isStatic: true, filter: .default )) // Make entity interactive - enables spatial taps, drags, etc. anchorEntity.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) let shadowComponent = GroundingShadowComponent( castsShadow: true, receivesShadow: true ) anchorEntity.components.set(shadowComponent) } I then use a spatial tap gesture to set the position parameter in the shader graph material that creates a nice gradient from the tap position on the mesh to the rest of the mesh. SpatialTapGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onEnded { value in let tappedEntity = value.entity // Check if the tapped entity is a child of tracking.meshAnchors if isChildOfMeshAnchors(entity: tappedEntity) { // Get local position (in the entity's coordinate space) let localPosition = value.location3D // Convert to world position (scene coordinate space) let worldPosition = value.convert(localPosition, from: .local, to: .scene) print("Tapped mesh anchor at local position: \(localPosition)") print("Tapped mesh anchor at world position: \(worldPosition)") // Update the material parameter with the tap position updateMaterialTapPosition(entity: tappedEntity, position: worldPosition) } else { print("Tapped entity is not a mesh anchor") } } } My issue is that because there are several mesh anchors, the gradient often gets cut off by the edge of the mesh generated from the mesh anchor as suppose to a nice continuous gradient across the entire scene reconstructed mesh I couldn't find any documentations on how to merge mesh from mesh anchors, any tips would be helpful! Thank you!

When I've made an animated UDSZ, at what framerate will the animation be rendered in QuickLook? Is it the same across all devices? (iPhone, Apple Vision Pro, etc.) and viewing environments? (QuickLook, inside an ARView, etc.) Suppose I export my file at 30fps and the device draws at 60fps, does the device interpolate between frames automatically, animate at a lower frame rate, or play it at twice the speed? What if it were 24fps? My primary concern with understanding frame rates is a bit of trouble I've had making perfectly looping animations. There always seems to be the slightest stutter between iterations. Thanks in advance for any insights you're able to provide!

Hello, I am developing a visionOS application and am interested in obtaining detailed data of users’ hands through ARKit, including but not limited to Transform and rotation angle. I have reviewed Happy Beem, but it appears to only introduce the method of identifying the user’s specific gestures. Could you please advise on how to obtain the Transform and rotation angle of the user’s hand? Thank you.

Hi there, I’m building a workplace experience that requires using virtual desktop, is there a way to launch it in my code, so user doesn’t have to do it manually? Thanks in advance!

I have a warning on my AR app Virtual Tags that since July does not show its camera information telling: "ARCL.SceneLocationView implements focusItemsInRect: - caching for linear focus movement is limited as long as this view is on screen." I tried inserting the function, but documentation does not explain what it should return and how to generate it. Is someone able to help me? Thanks,

Hi folks, I’m new to Vision Pro stack, still trying to learn all the nuances. Here is a problem I can’t seem to find an answer. I placed entity A( a small .02 radius sphere) inside entity B( size:.1 box). Both entities have HoverEffectComponent, and both inputcomponent is set to .direct. Entity A is NOT a child of Entity B. When I direct touch Entity B, I noticed that Entity A’s hover effect is fired as well. This only happens if Entity A‘s position is inside Entity B. The gesture that is only targeted at Entity A doesn’t work either. I double checked Entity A collider which sits inside entity B collider, my direct touch shouldn’t have trigger its hove effect. Having one collider inside another seems to produce unpredictable behavior? Thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏 Context: I’m trying to create an invisible bound around Entity A, so when my hand approaches the bound to grab Entity A, a nice spotlight hover effect would fire first on the bound before hand reaching entity A.

Hello, We've been working for months now on an App for the Vision Pro. (it's been great btw!) We already have an App in the App Store for iOS, and have been migrating our platform from the Microsoft Hololens 2 to the AVP: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NPPP031VHD1 We require the Main Camera access and already have gotten the Enterprise.license for development purposes. Unfortunately, we cannot publish our Business App (which uses an Enterprise API) under the same Name/Bundle ID as our iOS App because it would conflict with our current Distribution Method. We arrived at the conclusion that we need a new Enterprise.license under a different Bundle ID to create a new App for the Business Store. Has anyone been in the same boat as us, and tried to publish to the Business Store while already having an App in the Public App Store under the same name? We applied to get another license for distribution under another name (with "Pro" at the end), but it's been stuck in limbo for over a month now (probably because the new bundle ID doesn't have any track record). Anyhow, thanks for any help, we're open to suggestions as to how to proceed!

my coworkers and i are guessing at what data defines an anchor. i tried searching but struggled to find anything helpful. our best guess was a combination Triangular Irregular Networks (TIN), gps, magnetic compass direction and maybe elevation sensors. is this documented anywhere? if not, can a definition or description be provided?

Hi, We are trying to port our Unity app from other XR devices to Vision Pro. Thus it's way easier for us to use the Metal rendering layer, fully immersive. And to stay true to the platform, we want to keep the gaze/pinch interaction system. But we just noticed that, unlike Polyspatial XR apps, VisionOS XR in Metal does not provide gaze info unless the user is actively pinching... Which forbids any attempt to give visual feedback on what they are looking at (buttons, etc). Is this planned in Apple's roadmap ? Thanks

Description: I'm developing an AR effect using SceneKit and applying a transparent material to a face mesh. However, I'm facing an issue where the front faces of the mesh overlap each other, causing incorrect rendering. Problem: The front faces of the mesh overlap with each other when transparency is applied. This causes areas like the cheeks to be visible through the nose, even though they should be occluded. Expected Behavior: The material should behave as if it were opaque to itself—that is, overlapping front faces should be occluded properly, while still allowing transparency for background elements. Actual Behavior: The mesh renders its own front faces incorrectly, making parts of the face visible through others when they should be blocked. What I Have Tried: testMaterial.writesToDepthBuffer = true testMaterial.readsFromDepthBuffer = true Question: 👉 How can I prevent SceneKit's transparent material from rendering overlapping front faces? 👉 Is there a way to force SceneKit to treat its own mesh as opaque for itself while still being transparent to the background? 👉 Does SceneKit support a proper depth pre-pass or an equivalent to Unity’s ZWrite shaders to solve this issue? Attached screenshots demonstrate the problem visually. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🚀
