Does visionOS 2 still prompt the user with a permission alert when a full immersive space is presented? In visionOS 1, the first time an app presented an immersive space, the user was prompted with an alert to grant permission. openImmersiveSpace would return an error code if the user opted not to grant permission. In visionOS 1, it was important to handle this case correctly. In visionOS 1, the Settings > Developer menu had an option to reset the immersive user's space permission prompting state so developers could test this interaction flow. In visionOS 2, I no longer see the full immersive space permissions alert. I can't remember if I saw it once, the first time visionOS 2.0 beta was installed, or if I never saw it at all. The Settings > Developer menu no longer has an option to reset the permission prompting state. I can't find any way to test the interaction flow in my app to make sure that it will work correctly for users. Does visionOS 2 no longer ask for full immersive space permission at all? I can't find this change documented anywhere. If visionOS 2 does prompt the user for permission, is there any way to reproduce and test this interaction flow so I can make sure my app handles it correctly? Thanks for taking the time to answer this question.

How to overlay an image in RealityKit on a 3D model using code so that it does not stretch to the entire object, but has its own height and width that I can change? I have a solution on how to do this, but then it will not be possible to change the height, width or place it anywhere on the 3D model. And this is to cut out a part of the object and overlay the image on the entire cutout area. How to overlay a 2D image on a 3D model without stretching the photo to the entire 3D object? If this is possible, please give an example of how to do this in code. I could not find on the Internet how to do this. Although in other engines this can be done, for example, in Blender or Unity. If I am not mistaken, this is done there using decals

I have a plane that is stereoscopic so represents to the user depth that is beyond the plane. I would like to have the options to render the depth buffer for the pixels or to not render any information into the depth for the plane. I cannot see any option in Shader Graph Material to affect the depth buffer during render. I also cannot see any way in RealityKit to not render to the depth buffer for an entity. I'm open to any suggestions.

We can use the CreateML App to build object tracking model in Xcode 16, but is it possible to use CreateML framework as well? No documentation of Create ML object tracking is found yet. The latest documentation I can found is Xcode 15. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CreateML?changes=latest_minor Really apricated the new feature of object tracking, thank you Apple Team.

Hey Everyone, this is like my first post here in the apple forum. I need your help to understand better Reality Kit and file exports, but let me explain. I'm trying to create a little 3D Object editor, and it looks like to work pretty well using RealityViews and managing materials on the Entity. I'm currently working with all the Beta Apis and I would like to export my entity into an .usdz or a .obj file. I've found a method that allows me to create a .Reality File let path = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0].appendingPathComponent("model.reality") try await self.appState.parentEntity.write(to: path) but I now I don't know how to convert it into a .usdz or a .obj file, or otherwise any standard 3d format. Do you have any idea on how could I do? Thankyou so much! Have a nice day ^^

When I wanted to call the Reality Composer Pro scene containing Object Tracking, I tried the following code: RealityView { content in if let model = try? await Entity(named: "Scene", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(model) } } Obviously, this is wrong. We need to add some configurations that can enable Object Tracking to Reality View. What do we need to add?

it is my code let portal = Entity() portal.components[ModelComponent.self] = .init(mesh: .generatePlane(width: Float(size.width), height: Float(size.height), cornerRadius: 0.02), materials: [PortalMaterial()]) portal.components[PortalComponent.self] = .init(target: world) portal.components[PortalComponent.self]?.clippingPlane = .init(position: SIMD3(x: 0, y: 0, z: 0), normal: SIMD3(x: 0, y: 0, z: 0)) portal.components.set(HoverEffectComponent()) I added RealityView to multiple HStacks and implemented the portal effect. I found that the portal effect would cause confusion in the rendering level on some machines, as shown in the figure

I am using ArKit to create an augmented reality application in Unity. Following the addition of an object reference object Because it tracks the object in front of it slowly and inaccurately, the application does not update the screen quickly. How can I track objects more quickly?

Anybody try hand tracking provider in 2.0? I'm getting them in 11ms interval, as advertised, but they are duplicate. Here's a print of the timestamps. Problematic for me because I am tracking the last 5 position for a calculation and expect them to be unique. Can't find docs on this anywhere. I understand it's not truly 90 updates a second but predicted pose, however I expected the updates to include predicted poses.

Hello just getting this error as I am trying to run the any new project this error is looking up Thanks Zipzy Games X

Hello guys, I do have a virtual environment in which I have a mesh. I want the mesh to be mirrored onto a glass which is very close nearby. I can't just duplicate it because it varies depending on from which position you are looking at it. Is there a possibility to mirror a mesh via reflections? It shouldn't reflect real world objects - just a virtual mesh. Thank you guys

What is the current recommendation for creating high-quality 3D content? The context is a hobbyist, specialised CAD app for macOS (with an iPadOS companion) that is mostly 2D but also offers a 3D visualization option (currently OpenGL). Somewhere down the line there might be an AR view but at the moment - certainly for macOS - it's purely generated 3D visualization, all rendered content. So starting with a rewrite of the 3D visualization in 2024 targeting macOS Sequoia/iPadOS 18 is RealityKit the suggested way forward? Cheers, Jay

Hello, I'm trying to download a native spatial video for a software program I'm putting together where people can upload spatial videos from the web and deploy them inside a native VisionOS app showing a breadth of different file formats.

Hey guys! I have question for my project. I want my 3D character with an PBR Shader to only receive IBL from my HDRI map and not receive any lighting from the surrounding environment when viewing on Apple Vision Pro. Any tips? Thank you in advance!

I think it's kind of essential to have eye tracking data available to apps in VR mode (with the user's permission). The biggest problem I've observed is that Unity isn't able to implement dynamic foveated rendering without eye tracking data. Without the eye tracking it's only possible to have fixed foveated rendering. That gives a performance boost to rendering, but it also makes it so it gets blurry for the user if they look to the side without turning their head. I understand why it's a privacy issue to have apps tracking where the user is looking in the real world, but video passthrough is disabled in VR -- so it should be ok to enable eye tracking in VR (with the user's permission). Unity already supports dynamic foveated rendering (with eye tracking) for other VR headsets, and Vision Pro has the best eye tracking -- so Vision Pro should definitely have the best dynamic foveated rendering in VR.

Currently in an app I am working on, we are adding collision shapes/components to objects by using the ShapeResource.generateConvex method to generate the shape from the mesh of our ModelEntity. Unfortunately, this does not result in a totally accurate collision shape. The following example is how the collision component looks currently. Is there anyway to generate a collision shape that fits the exact bounds of the ModelEntity?

Does anyone measure the brightness of Vision Pro? It seems to be dimmer than I expected. Besides, is there any way to set the brightness of the Vision Pro to be maximum by script? Many thanks!

How is it possible to add a schema for ar to a usd file using the python tools (or any other way). Following the instructions in: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arkit_in_ios/usdz_schemas_for_ar/actions_and_triggers/preliminary_behavior The steps are to have the following declaration: class Preliminary_Behavior "Preliminary_Behavior" ( inherits = </Typed> ) and a usd file #usda 1.0 def Preliminary_Behavior "TapAndFlip" { rel triggers = [ <Tap> ] rel actions = [ <Entry> ] def Preliminary_Trigger "Tap" ( inherits = </TapGestureTrigger> ) { rel affectedObjects = [ </Cube> ] } def Preliminary_Action "Entry" ( inherits = </GroupAction> ) { uniform token type = "parallel" rel actions = [ <Flip> ] } def Preliminary_Action "Flip" ( inherits = </EmphasizeAction> ) { rel affectedObjects = [ </Cube> ] uniform token motionType = "flip" } } def Cube "Cube" { } How do these parts fit together? I saved the usda file, but it didn't have any interactions. Obviously, I have to add that declaration, but how do I do this? is this all in an AR Xcode project? Or can I do this with python tools (I would prefer something very lightweight).

Using Unreal Engine 5.4 for Apple Vision Pro. Creating a fully immersive VR Experience. When deploying a VR Application, can you use deferred rendering for the Apple Vision Pro? Or do you need to use forward shading, like for mobile devices? My goal would be to use deferred rendering, because of the much better shader options and quality. And I hope that the Apple Vision Pro with the integrated CPU and GPU could handle deferred rendering, that like a MacBook or a powerful Gaming PC, Workstation. I couldn't find any information on that. Have been mainly developing VR Applications for Quest, but would love to create apps for the Apple Vision Pro. But I would need to know if defered rendering will work when deploying VR Apps from the Unreal Engine to the Apple Vision Pro system. Thanks a lot for any more information on that topic, appreciate it! all the best, Bernhard

Hi, We are having problems with IOs Quick Look not working. Specifically, the AR button being greyed out after having opened the Scene / AR model previously. This is all running off our Web-App. What we have figured out is clearing the device's cache solves the issue and the greyed out button turns blue and clickable again. We are receiving this issue very inconsistently though - on iPad as well as iPhone and on both newer and older IOs versions. Very happy for any responses and advice to solve this issue as its behaviour makes the quick look function - even if it's great (when it works) unviable for Production (because it doesn't work consistently). Best Regards
