I have been digging into learning shader graphs by watching Unity shader graph content, cause lots of the same concepts apply. One thing I noticed was that in Unity, each node in the shader graph has a little preview. I don't think this exists in Reality Composer Pro, but is there anyway to mimic it (like can I hook up a node that allows me to debug the graph at that point?) If not, I'm happy to just file a feedback about it, but just thought I'd ask!

We are building an AR experience for deployment on iphones. We are using Unity but it looks as if Reality Composer Pro has better features for spatial audio. I am not sure if Reality Composer Pro can only be used for Vision Pro or can it also be used for deployment on Iphone or ipad.

Hi guys, if you started using Vision Pro, I'm sure you already found some limitations. Let's join forces and make feature requests. When creating Feedback, request from one guy may not get any attenption from Apple, but if we join and more of us make the same request, we might just push those ideas through. Feel free to add your ideas and don't forget to create feedback: app windows can only be moved forward to a distance of about 20ft/6m. I'm pretty sure some users would like to push window as far as a few miles away and make the window large to be still legible. This would be very interesting especialy when using Environments and 360-degree view. I really want to put some apps up on the sky above the mountains and around me, even those iOS apps just made compatible with Vision Pro. when capturing screen, I always get message "Video capture not possible due to insufficient lighting". Why? I have Environment loaded and extended 360 degrees with some apps opened, so there is no need for external lighting (at least I thing it's not needed). I just want to capture what I see. Imagine creating tutorials, recording lessons for learning various subjects, etc. Actual Vision Pro user might prefer loading their on environments an setup app in spatial domain, but for those that don't have it yet or when creating videos to be available on antique 2D computer screens , it may be useful to create 2D videos this way. 3D video recording is not very good, kind of shaky, not when Vision Pro is static, but when walking and especially when turning head left/right/up/down (even relatively slowly). I think hardware should be able to capture and create nice and smooth video. It's possible that Apple just designed simple camera app and wants to give developers a chance to create a better Camera app, but it still would be nice to have something better out of the box. I would like to be able to walk through Environments. I understand safety of see-through effect, so users didn't hit any obstacles, but perhaps obstacles could be detected and when user gets to 6ft/2m from obstacle then it could present at first warning (there is already "You are close to and object" and then make surroundigns visible, but if there are no obstacles (user can be located in large space and can place a tape or a thread around the safe area), I should be able to walk around and take a look inside that crater on the Moon. We need Environments, Environments, Environments and yet more of them, I was hoping for hundreds, so we could even pick some of them and use in our apps, like games where you want to setup a specific environment. Well, that's just a beginning and I could go on and on and on, but tell me what you guys think. Regards and enjoy new virtual adventure! Robert

Can anyone point me to an approach for handling drag, rotation and scale on a 'TargetedToAnyEnity' asset coming from a realityKitContentBundle? I've looked through all of the code examples, and have cobbled together something using PlacementGesturesModifer and DragRotationModifier from the HelloWorld code example but I can't figure out how to make it work on individual assets -- it only works on the root. When I do something simple like this (outside the modifier script I mentioned above) I can make individual drag work... but can't figure out how to apply the same thing to rotation and scale. .gesture(DragGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onChanged({ value in value.entity.position = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: value.entity.parent!) }) Are there any examples of a solution for drag, rotation and scale on an individual basis in the code examples? Any advice or hints would be appreciated. :)

Is there a way to give a "Primitive Shape" entity created through Reality Composer Pro a ModelComponent? I have a custom ShaderGraphMaterial assigned to a primitive shape in my RC Pro scene hierarchy, and I'd like to tweak the inputs of this material programatically. I found a great example of the behavior I'm looking for here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10273/?time=1862 @State private var sliderValue: Float = 0.0 Slider(value: $sliderValue, in: (0.0)...(1.0)) .onChange(of: sliderValue) { _, _ in guard let terrain = rootEntity.findEntity(named: "DioramaTerrain"), var modelComponent = terrain.components[ModelComponent.self], var shaderGraphMaterial = modelComponent.materials.first as? ShaderGraphMaterial else { return } do { try shaderGraphMaterial.setParameter(name: "Progress", value: .float(sliderValue)) modelComponent.materials = [shaderGraphMaterial] terrain.components.set(modelComponent) } catch { } } } However, when I try applying this example to my use-case, my project's equivalent to this line fails to execute: var modelComponent = terrain.components[ModelComponent.self] The only difference I can see between my case and this example is my entity is a primitive shape, whereas the example uses a model reference to a .usdz file. Is there some way to update a primitive shape entity to contain this ModelComponent in its set of components so I can reference + update its materials programmatically?

Hi folks! I have been working with a team on a Vision Pro app using Reality Composer Pro. One thing we have found is that multiple developers editing the RCPro scene are a continuous problem, similar to when multiple developers edit a storyboard. RC Pro maintains a SceneMetadataList.json file that indexes the file contents of the project that is updated even as the scene hierarchy is opened and closed, not to mention other changes to scene content. We are getting frequent continuous version control conflicts with this file as we each make changes and edits to the scene, or even browse the scene without making any substantive changes. It seems like it would be safe to add the SceneMetadataList.json file in a RC Pro project to .gitignore. Is that recommended? Any downsides to that?

I wanted to drag EntityA while also dragging EntityB independently. I've tried to separate them by entity but it only recognizes the latest drag gesture RealityView { content, attachments in ... } .gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(EntityA) .onChanged { value in ... } ) .gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(EntityB) .onChanged { value in ... } ) also tried using the simultaneously but didn't work too, maybe i'm missing something .gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(EntityA) .onChanged { value in ... } .simultaneously(with: DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(EntityB) .onChanged { value in ... } )

let apple = try Entity.load(named: "apple", in: realityKitContentBundle) works, but let apple = try Entity.loadModel(named: "apple", in: realityKitContentBundle) does not work ie. (error.localizedDescription = Failed to find resource with name "apple" in bundle) I am unsure what is causing the problem, apple.usda was created in Reality Composer Pro from primitives and has a single apple object (no root). When I load with Entity.load and print apple, I get: ▿ 'apple' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ Transform ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ▿ 'apple' : ModelEntity ⟐ ModelComponent ⟐ Transform ⟐ CollisionComponent ⟐ PhysicsBodyComponent ⟐ SynchronizationComponent This nested hierarchy seems redundant to me, is it preferred in AR kit to have such a structure? Why am I unable to load usda directly as a ModelEntity?

How can i play a USDZ entity animation in reverse? I have tried to put a negative value to the speed as I was doing in SceneKit to make the animation reverse play but it did not work. here is my code: import SwiftUI import RealityKit struct ImmersiveView: View { @State var entity = Entity() @State var openDoor: Bool = true var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let mainDoor = try? await Entity(named: "Door.usdz") { if let frame = mainDoor.findEntity(named: "DoorFrame") { frame.position = [0, 0, -8] frame.orientation = simd_quatf(angle: (270 * (.pi / 180)), axis: SIMD3(x: 1, y: 0, z: 0)) content.add(frame) entity = frame.findEntity(named: "Door")! entity.components.set(InputTargetComponent(allowedInputTypes: .indirect)) entity.components.set(HoverEffectComponent()) let entityModel = entity.children[0] entityModel.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true) } } } .gesture( SpatialTapGesture() .targetedToEntity(entity) .onEnded { value in print(value) if openDoor == true { let animController = entity.playAnimation(entity.availableAnimations[0], transitionDuration: 0 , startsPaused: true) animController.speed = 1.0 animController.resume() openDoor = false } else { let animController = entity.playAnimation(entity.availableAnimations[0], transitionDuration: 0 , startsPaused: true) animController.speed = -1.0 // it does not work to reverse animController.resume() openDoor = true } } ) } } The Door should open with first click which is already happening and close with second click which is not happening as it does not reverse play the animation

When I play a video with immersive mode on an apple vision pro device, I want to add a close button to close the immersive video view play screen. How can I add a button and handle the event?

I am trying to implement a game where the character walks on the scene mesh. I am controlling the character with a game controller. I noticed there is a character controller component in Reality Composer Pro, I am aware that when this component is added, the player cannot have a collision or a physics component. I need an example that covers adding an entity with the character controller component to the scene and then moving the character using the moveCharacter function. I was also looking at the documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/entity/movecharacter(by:deltatime:relativeto:collisionhandler:) Here it is also looking for deltaTime. Where do we get the deltaTime from? does it come from a system's update function, does that also mean that the character controller needs to be moved in the update method? Thanks, Sarang

I was able to add a spotlight effect to my entities using ImageBasedLightComponent and the sample code. However, I noticed that whenever you set ImageBasedLightComponent the environmental lighting is completely turned off. Is it possible to merge them somehow? So imagine you have a toy in a the real world, and you shine a flashlight on it. The environment light should still have an effect right?

Following this thread I'm able to render a simple picture in a Plane material, however, I'm unable to scale it to show bigger than the window itself, or move it behind the window. Here's my relevant code so far.- var body: some View { ZStack { RealityView { content in var material = UnlitMaterial() material.color = try! .init(tint: .white, texture: .init(.load(named: "image", in: nil))) let entity = Entity() let component = ModelComponent( mesh: .generatePlane(width: 1, height: 1), materials: [material] ) entity.components.set(component) let currentTransform = entity.transform var newTransform = Transform(scale: currentTransform.scale, rotation: currentTransform.rotation, translation: SIMD3(0, 0, -0.2)) entity.move(to: newTransform, relativeTo: nil) /* let scalingPivot = Entity() scalingPivot.position.y = entity.visualBounds(relativeTo: nil).center.y scalingPivot.addChild(entity) content.add(scalingPivot) scalingPivot.scale *= .init(x: 1, y: 1, z: 1) */ } } } It belongs to an ImmersiveSpace I'm opening directly from my main window, but I have several issues: The texture shows always in front of the window I'm unable to scale it (scaling seems to affect to the texture coordinates inside the material instead of scaling the mesh itself) I can only see the texture in the canvas preview (not in simulator)

I'm developing a vision pro application. However, when the user takes off the Apple Vision Pro device, the application goes into the background. How can I prevent this behavior programmatically?

I'd like to implement the functionality to pause/play video playback when the user taps on the immersive video playback view. How can I handle the tap event on Vision OS?

I'd like to map a SwiftUI view (in my case: a map) onto a 3D curved plane in immersive view, so user can literally immersive themselves into the map. The user should also be able to interact with the map, by panning it around and selecting markers. Is this possible?

In visionOS, I want show a 3D Content, I can use RealityView or Mode3D, But the effect they achieve is similar. What is the difference between them and which one to use for users?

Hi, I'm working on a simple visionOS app and I'm testing on device. For one part of the app, I load an object in and place it on the user's hand. If I use a primitive shape, like a sphere or cylinder, this works fine. However, now I'm trying to load a an object from my RealityKitContent package. But everytime I try this, I get a an error message, resourceNotFound("Stone"), where "Stone" is one of my usda scenes. This is what the guts of my function looks like that should return a ModelEntity: do { let entity = try await ModelEntity(named: "Stone", in: realityKitContentBundle) entity.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true) return entity } catch { print("Error \(error)") } I can see the "Stone" in my Xcode sidebar as part of the RealityKitContent package and inside that scene, there is a simple sphere, but alas I always get this in the Xcode console, "Error resourceNotFound("Stone")" I'm probably doing something pretty silly, hopefully it's obvious to someone else. Thanks for the help. Ian

In Reality Composter Pro has a triplanar projection node based on the provision of images. Is there a way to make a triplanar projection to input the dynamic material?

I have a main app window that presents an Immersive style in Mixed Reality. I am trying to determine the anchor/position of this glass window in the 3D space and place a Sphere entity right next to it. The goal is to ensure that if the user moves the window, the Sphere entity remains attached to it. Does anyone have insights on how to achieve this? The below code snippet provides the position of the device, and I have positioned it 0.5 meters away from the z-axis. However, my objective is to obtain the position of the glass window and anchor the sphere to it. Any guidance on achieving this would be appreciated. import RealityKit import RealityKitContent import ARKit struct ImmersiveView: View { let visionProPose = VisionProPose() var body: some View { RealityView { content in Task { await visionProPose.runArSession() } // Add the initial RealityKit content if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(scene) } } update: { content in if let scene = content.entities.first { if let sphere = scene.findEntity(named: "Sphere") as? ModelEntity { Task { let transfrom = await visionProPose.getTransform() sphere.position = [Float((transfrom?.columns.3.x)!), Float((transfrom?.columns.3.y)!), Float((transfrom?.columns.3.z)!) - 1 ] } } } } } } @Observable class VisionProPose { let session = ARKitSession() let worldTracking = WorldTrackingProvider() func runArSession() async { Task { try? await session.run([worldTracking]) } } func getTransform() async -> simd_float4x4? { guard let deviceAnchor = worldTracking.queryDeviceAnchor(atTimestamp: 1) else { return nil } let transform = deviceAnchor.originFromAnchorTransform return transform } }
