I saw this demo on the website. Do you have the address for the demo? If not, how is the following image content implemented? Can you tell me which style of WindowGroup is used to create this custom window, and the buttons to move and close the window are located at the bottom of the menu bar. Thank you, thank [you]

Hi, I'm developing a SwiftUI app using RealityKit and ARKit for an AR measuring feature. I’ve noticed that after navigating away from my AR view and performing extensive cleanup (including removing all anchors/entities, pausing the ARSession, and nil-ing out all references), memory usage remains elevated and sometimes grows with repeated AR sessions. Each time I enter and exit the AR view, memory increases The memory does not return to the baseline after cleanup, even though all custom objects are deallocated. Are there best practices beyond what I’ve described to ensure all ARKit/RealityKit resources are released after an AR session?

Hi everyone, I'm creating an educational App that allows doing computational design in an immersive environment with the Vision Pro. The App is free and can be found here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arcade-topology/id6742103633 The problem I have is that the mesh of voxels I currently create use ModelEntity and I recently read that this is horrible for scalability. I already start to see issues when I try to use thousands of voxels. I also read somewhere that I should then take advantage of GPUs and use metal to that end. I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial or article that discusses this. In essence, I need to create a 3D voxel mesh, and those voxels have to update their opacity within an iterative loop. Thanks! —Alejandro

our app is live, and it appears that since the ios 18 update - the VideoMaterial renders pink / purple color instead of the video (picture attached). the audio is rendered properly. we found that it occurs on old devices: iPhone 11 & iPhone SE 2020. I've found this thread of Andy Jazz on stackoverflow: Steps to Reproduce: Create a plane for the video screen. Apply a VideoMaterial using AVPlayerItem. Anchor the model entity to an ARImageAnchor. Expected Outcome: The video should play as a material on the plane in RealityKit. Actual Outcome: On iOS 18, the plane appears pink, indicating the VideoMaterial isn’t applied. What I’ve Tried: -Verified the video URL is correct. -Checked that the AVPlayerItem and VideoMaterial are initialised correctly. -Ensured the AVPlayer is playing the video. I also tried different formats (mov / mp4 / m4v), and verifying that the video's status is readyToPlay. any suggestions?

Hello, we have a requirement where clicking a button will highlight the model, similar to the effect seen by the eyes. However, the eyes do not see it and it is achieved by clicking a button. What should we do? Thank you for your reply

I'm using RealityView in my iOS game mxied with SwiftUI. For the following 2 example usages, the simulator will only render the first RealityView, and the second one is either super laggy or show a black model. Running on the real device is all good, just simualtor has this issue. Have a TabView and each tab has a RealityView. Have a root view and detail view connected via a push navigation, both root and detail have a RealityView. In the Simulator, the second RealityView is going to be very choppy and basically unusable, but on a real iPhone everything looks great. Is this a known simulator issue or I did something bad?

I want to implement the functions in this video, how should I set the window

My experience has been that ModelEntity(named:in:) can be used to load a USD file with a simple structure consisting of entities and model entities, and, critically, it will flatten the entity hierarchy down to a single ModelEntity, presumably reducing the number of draw calls. However, can anyone verify that the following is true? If ModelEntity(named:in:) is used to load a USD file from a RealityKit content bundle, it may fail when the USD file contains more complex data, such as shader graph material definitions, or perhaps for some other reason. I am not sure. AND the error that ModelEntity(named:in:) throws in this case is Cannot load RealityKitContent entity: Failed to find resource with name "<name>" in bundle which would literally suggest that the file does not exist, instead of what I assume the error actually is, which is "the file exists but its entity hierarchy could not be flattened to a single ModelEntity" ? Is that an accurate description of the known behavior of ModelEntity:named:in:)? I understand that I could use Entity(named:in:) instead, without the flattening feature. My question is really more about the seemingly misleading error message. Thank you for any clarification you can provide.

I want to display a huge image in RealityView in 3d space on Vision Pro. of course instead of one giant file I'm using a lot of big images. to achieve this, I'm generating multiple planes exactly beside each others and put each image on them. although the planes are exactly beside each others but there is still a white gap between them.(image below) **Does anybody know how to fix this issue? **

I have an app that uses RealityKit and ARKit, which includes some capturing features (to capture and image with added Entities). I have a navigationLink that allows the user to see the gallery of the images he has taken. When launching the App, the rotation animation of the ARView happens smoothly, the navigationBar transitions from one orientation to another with the ARView keeping it's orientation. However, when I go to the galeryView to see the images and go back to the root view where the ARView is, the rotation animation of the ARView changed: When transitioning from one orientation to another, the ARView is flipped by 90° before transitioning to the new orientation. The issue is shown in this gif (https://i.stack.imgur.com/IOvCx.gif) Any idea why this happens and how I could resolve it without locking the App's orientation changes? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm developing an ARKit app using RealityKit and encountering an issue where a video displayed on a 3D plane shows up as a pink screen instead of the actual video content. Here's a simplified version of my setup: func createVideoScreen(video: AVPlayerItem, canvasWidth: Float, canvasHeight: Float, aspectRatio: Float, fitsWidth: Bool = true) -> ModelEntity { let width = (fitsWidth) ? canvasWidth : canvasHeight * aspectRatio let height = (fitsWidth) ? canvasWidth * (1/aspectRatio) : canvasHeight let screenPlane = MeshResource.generatePlane(width: width, depth: height) let videoMaterial: Material = createVideoMaterial(videoItem: video) let videoScreenModel = ModelEntity(mesh: screenPlane, materials: [videoMaterial]) return videoScreenModel } func createVideoMaterial(videoItem: AVPlayerItem) -> VideoMaterial { let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: videoItem) let videoMaterial = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) player.play() return videoMaterial } Despite following the standard process, the video plane renders pink. Has anyone encountered this before, or does anyone know what might be causing it? Thanks in advance!

I have an entity that was created using Mixamo, and it has an animation. after the animation completes the mesh of the robot is not where the entity is positioned. I want to do something like when the animation finishes, I set the root entity's transform to the mesh's transform. There are no transformations applied to any of the children of this root of the model, which means that the transformations are applied to the skeleton due the the playing of animations. Is there a way where I can apply the final position of the root of the skeleton to the root entity to make sure to position the entity where the animation has ended just before the next animation plays?

I have an attachment anchored to the head motion, and I put a WKWebView as the attachment. When I try to interact with the web view, the app crashes with the following errors: *** Assertion failure in -[UIGestureGraphEdge initWithLabel:sourceNode:targetNode:directed:], UIGestureGraphEdge.m:28 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: targetNode' *** First throw call stack: (0x18e529340 0x185845e80 0x192c2283c 0x2433874d4 0x243382ebc 0x2433969a8 0x24339635c 0x243396088 0x243907760 0x2438e4c94 0x24397b488 0x24397e28c 0x243976a20 0x242d7fdc0 0x2437e6e88 0x2437e6254 0x18e4922ec 0x18e492230 0x18e49196c 0x18e48bf3c 0x18e48b798 0x1d3156090 0x2438c8530 0x2438cd240 0x19fde0d58 0x19fde0a64 0x19fa5890c 0x10503b0bc 0x10503b230 0x2572247b8) libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: targetNode' *** First throw call stack: (0x18e529340 0x185845e80 0x192c2283c 0x2433874d4 0x243382ebc 0x2433969a8 0x24339635c 0x243396088 0x243907760 0x2438e4c94 0x24397b488 0x24397e28c 0x243976a20 0x242d7fdc0 0x2437e6e88 0x2437e6254 0x18e4922ec 0x18e492230 0x18e49196c 0x18e48bf3c 0x18e48b798 0x1d3156090 0x2438c8530 0x2438cd240 0x19fde0d58 0x19fde0a64 0x19fa5890c 0x10503b0bc 0x10503b230 0x2572247b8) terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException Message from debugger: killed This is the code for the RealityView struct ImmersiveView: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in let anchor = AnchorEntity(AnchoringComponent.Target.head) if let sceneAttachment = attachments.entity(for: "test") { sceneAttachment.position = SIMD3<Float>(0,0,-3.5) anchor.addChild(sceneAttachment) } content.add(anchor) } attachments: { Attachment(id: "test") { WebViewWrapper(webView: appModel.webViewModel.webView) } } } } This is the appModel: import SwiftUI import WebKit /// Maintains app-wide state @MainActor @Observable class AppModel { let immersiveSpaceID = "ImmersiveSpace" enum ImmersiveSpaceState { case closed case inTransition case open } var immersiveSpaceState = ImmersiveSpaceState.closed public let webViewModel = WebViewModel() } @MainActor final class WebViewModel { let webView = WKWebView() func loadViz(_ addressStr: String) { guard let url = URL(string: addressStr) else { return } webView.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } } struct WebViewWrapper: UIViewRepresentable { let webView: WKWebView func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { webView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { } } and finally the ContentView where I added a button to load the webpage: struct ContentView: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel var body: some View { VStack { ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton() Button("Go") { appModel.webViewModel.loadViz("http://apple.com") } } .padding() } }

I am currently using RealityKit (perspective camera) to render a character in my swiftUI app. The character has customization such as clothing items and hair and all objects are properly weighted to the rig. The way the model is setup in Blender is like so: Groups of objects that will be swapped (ex: Shoes -> Shoes objects) and an armature. I then export it to usdc with all objects active. This is the resulting hierarchy: Before exporting for the animation (armature modifier applied), I simply had to store the Model entities and swap them in but now when I export with the Armature Modifier applied, so that animations get exported, the ModelComponent gets flattened to the armature and swapping entities and applying new materials to them is no longer as simple. Here's a demo blend file and usdc export with a setup like mine, having an animated bone to swing a cube and sphere, to be swapped so that only one is visible https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/be2q6qcztc83z7c4gj1w0/AMapxWc_ip2KZ8oTOYDUMv8?rlkey=rcdaggcxq06dyen09mw5mqmem&st=bnc0d7j0&dl=0 This is how I'm loading the entity and removing a part, with the demo files import SwiftUI import RealityKit struct SwapDemoView: View { var body: some View { RealityView { content in let camera = PerspectiveCamera() camera.transform.translation = SIMD3(x: 0, y: 0.1, z: 3) guard let root = try? await Entity(named: "simpleSwapDemo") else { fatalError("simpleSwapDemo.usdc is not present") } print(root) // Get initial hierarchy guard let cube = root.findEntity(named: "Cube") else { fatalError("Entity cube doesn't exist") } cube.removeFromParent() // <-- Cube is still visible after removal print(root) // Get hierarchy to confirm removal of cube let resource = root.availableAnimations[0] root.playAnimation(resource.repeat()) content.add(root) content.add(camera) } .background(.white) } } And this is what the entity hierarchy looks like in RealityKit before cube removal ▿ 'root' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ AnimationLibraryComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Armature' : ModelEntity, children: 2 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ ModelComponent ⟐ SkeletalPosesComponent ⟐ AnimationLibraryComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Armature' : Entity ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Primitives' : Entity, children: 2 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Sphere' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Sphere' : Entity ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Cube' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Cube' : Entity ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform And here's the hierarchy after removal ▿ 'root' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ AnimationLibraryComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Armature' : ModelEntity, children: 2 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ ModelComponent ⟐ SkeletalPosesComponent ⟐ AnimationLibraryComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Armature' : Entity ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Primitives' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Sphere' : Entity, children: 1 ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform ▿ 'Sphere' : Entity ⟐ SynchronizationComponent ⟐ Transform And this is the result: What's the best practice here? Should animation be exported separately and then applied to the skeleton? If so, how is that achieved? I'm not really sure how to proceed here.

According to the official documentation, the .blur(radius:) modifier could apply gaussian blur to a realityview. However, when applied directly to a RealityView, nothing inside it (neither 2D attachments nor 3D entities) appears to be blurred. Here’s the test code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Above the RealityView") .font(.title) RealityView { content, attachments in if let text = attachments.entity(for: "2dView") { text.position.y = 0.1 content.add(text) } let box = ModelEntity( mesh: .generateBox(size: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: true)] ) content.add(box) } attachments: { Attachment(id: "2dView") { Text("Above the Box") .font(.title) } } .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .border(.blue) .blur(radius: 99) // Has no visual effect Text("Below the RealityView") .font(.subheadline) } .padding() } } My question: How can I make .blur(radius:) visually affect the content rendered in a RealityView? Can you provide a working example that .blur() to visually affect any part of a RealityView? Thanks!

Hi guys, In visionOS, when using a ZStack decorated with .glassBackgroundEffect(), you can see the 3D glass background from the front, but when viewed from the side, the view appears to have no thickness. However, I noticed that in an app built by Apple, when viewing a glass background view from the side, it appears to have thickness. I tried adding .frame(depth:) to a glass background view, but it appears as two separate layers spaced by the depth value. My question is: Is there a view modifier that adds visual thickness to a glass background view, as shown in the picture? Or, if not, how should I write a custom view modifier to achieve this effect? Thanks!

I am trying to create an object in immersive space that is partially transparent (~50% opacity). I have implemented this in a few different ways including creating a model entity and setting its opacity component to 0.5, and creating a custom material with blending set to a transparent opacity of 0.5. These both work partially, as they behaved as intended for many cases, but seemingly randomly would act like occlusion material and block any other immersive content behind them, showing the real world instead. Some notes: I am using RealityKit to render the semi-transparent object and an opaque object that is behind the semi-transparent object. I am using VisionOS 2.1, and am updating the location of the semi-transparent object often. Both objects are ModelEntities. I would appreciate any guidance on how to implement this. Please let me know if there are any other questions.

How do you call the effect where the edges around the central image gradually become transparent? This effect is also seen when viewing immersive mode of spatial photos in Vision Pro. How can I achieve this effect using SwiftUI or ShaderGraph? I want to use this effect when displaying images in my app.

Using Reality Composer Pro 2.0, I created a simple shader graph that displays a texture on an unlit surface: On visionOS 2 beta, I can successfully use ShaderGraphMaterial(named:from:in:) to load that shader graph material and assign it to a model entity. However, on visionOS 1.2 and earlier, either in Simulator or on the device, ShaderGraphMaterial(named:from:in:) fails and I see the following logged to the console: If, using Reality Composer Pro 1.0, I experimentally open the same project and delete and recreate exactly the same nodes above, then ShaderGraphMaterial(named:from:in:) works as expected on visionOS 1.2. Is it a known issue that Reality Composer 2 can't be used with visionOS 1? Is this intentional behavior? I've submitted feedback as FB14828873, including a sample project and repro steps. If possible, I would appreciate guidance from an Apple engineer, like "This is a known issue for [list of node types]" or "Reality Composer Pro 2 is not supported for visionOS 1 development, please refer to [documentation]" or "We recommend [workaround]." Thank you.

Hi, I have been using RealityRenderer to render scenes in MacOS as spatial videos and view it in Vision Pro and it is awesome. I understand that it uses PerspectiveCamera to render. I wanted to know what is the default FOV for this camera and how much can we push it? I want to ideally render a scene with 180 degrees of fov. Thanks
