I get a crash every time I try to swap this texture for a drawable queue. I have a DrawableQueue leftQueue created on the main thread, and I invoke this block on the main thread. Scene.usda contains a reference to a model cinema. It crashes on the line with the replace(). if let shaderMaterial = try? await ShaderGraphMaterial(named: "/Root/cinema/_materials/Screen", from: "Scene.usda", in: theaterBundle) { if let imageParam = shaderMaterial.getParameter(name: "image"), case let .textureResource(imageTexture) = imageParam { imageTexture.replace(withDrawables: leftQueue) } } One weird thing, the imageParam has an invalid value when it crashes. imageParam RealityFoundation.MaterialParameters.Value <invalid> (0x0) Here is the stack trace is: * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x9) frame #0: 0x0000000191569734 libobjc.A.dylib`objc_release + 8 frame #1: 0x00000001cb9e5134 CoreRE`re::SharedPtr<re::internal::AssetReference>::reset(re::internal::AssetReference*) + 64 frame #2: 0x00000001cba77cf0 CoreRE`re::AssetHandle::operator=(re::AssetHandle const&) + 36 frame #3: 0x00000001ccc84d14 CoreRE`RETextureAssetReplaceDrawableQueue + 228 frame #4: 0x00000001acf9bbcc RealityFoundation`RealityKit.TextureResource.replace(withDrawables: RealityKit.TextureResource.DrawableQueue) -> () + 164 * frame #5: 0x00000001006d361c Screenlit`TheaterView.setupMaterial(self=Screenlit.TheaterView @ 0x000000011e2b7a30) at TheaterView.swift:245:74 frame #6: 0x00000001006e0848 Screenlit`closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in TheaterView.body.getter(self=Screenlit.TheaterView @ 0x000000011e2b7a30) at TheaterView.swift:487 frame #7: 0x00000001006f1658 Screenlit`partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in TheaterView.body.getter at <compiler-generated>:0 frame #8: 0x00000001004fb7d8 Screenlit`thunk for @escaping @callee_guaranteed @Sendable @async () -> (@out τ_0_0) at <compiler-generated>:0 frame #9: 0x0000000100500bd4 Screenlit`partial apply for thunk for @escaping @callee_guaranteed @Sendable @async () -> (@out τ_0_0) at <compiler-generated>:0

I am trying to build a website where I would like to render the USDZ 3D model on the browser without the AR feature. The user should be able to interact with the 3D model using a pointing device (mouse). If the user wants to see the 3D model in AR she/he can do so by loading the page on a compatible device where the 3D model can be projected in AR. I am looking for an answer to how to display the USDZ 3D model on the browser without the AR feature.

I want to transfer this video stream to another device and then view it on the other device. But I did not see any development information related to the camera by checking the VisionOS documentation information, so I would like to ask if anyone knows how to do it? Thank you.

I'm creating a full immersive app of a large 3d environment in which I need to be able to move the player with different options like, hand gestures, game controller and teleporting. I have worked with unreal engine in which moving the player is easy and well documented. But I have not been able to find any information on how I could achieve this in visionOS. Has anyone done something similar that could give me some advice or sample code? any help appreciated Guillermo

I built two parts of my app a bit disjointed: my physics component, which controls all SceneReconstruction, HandTracking, and WorldTracking. my spatial GroupActivities component that allows you to see personas of those that join the activity. My problem: When trying to use any DataProvider in a spatial experience, I get the ARKit Session Event: dataProviderStateChanged, which disables all of my providers. My question: Has anyone successfully been able to find a workaround for this? I think it would be amazing to have one user be able to be the "host" for the activity and the scene reconstruction provider still continue to run for them.

I'm trying to understand how Apple handles dragging windows around in an immersive space. 3d Gestures seem to be only half of the solution in that they are great if you're standing still and want to move the window an exaggerated amount around the environment, but if you then start walking while dragging, the amplified gesture sends the entity flying off into the distance. It seems they quickly transition from one coordinate system to another depending on if the user is physically moving. If you drag a window and start walking the movement suddenly matches your speed. When you stop moving, you can push and pull the windows around again like a super hero. Am I missing something obvious in how to copy this behavior? Hello world, which uses the 3d gesture has the same problem. You can move the world around but if you walk with it, it flies off. Are they tracking the head movement and if it's moved more than a certain amount it uses that offset instead? Is there anything out of the box that can do this before I try and hack my own solution?

I'm building a visionOS app which loads a Reality Composer scene with a large number of models. The app includes several of these scenes, and allows the user to switch between them. Because the scenes have a large number of models, I want to unload the currently loaded scene before loading a different one. So far I have been unable to reclaim all of the used memory by removing the entities from the scene. I've made a few small changes to the Mixed Immersive app template which demonstrate this behavior which I've included below (apparently I'm unable to upload a zip file with the entire project). Using just the two spheres included in the reality kit content the leaked memory is fairly small, but if you add a couple larger models to the scene (I was able to easily find free ones online) then the memory leak becomes much more obvious. When the immersive space is initially opened, I'm seeing roughly 44MB of used memory (as shown in the Xcode Debug navigator). Each time I tap the "Load Models" and then "Unload Models" buttons, the memory use decreases but does not get back down to the initial amount. Subsequent loads and unloads will continue to increase the used memory (the amount of increase will depend on the models that you add to the scene). Also note that I've seen similar memory increases when dynamically creating the entities. Inside ViewModel.loadModels I've included some commented out code that dynamically creates entities instead of loading a Reality Composer scene. Is there a way to fully reclaim the used memory? I've tried many different ways to clear the RealityKit entities but so far have been unsuccessful. struct RKMemTestApp: App { private var viewModel = ViewModel() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environment(viewModel) } ImmersiveSpace(id: "ImmersiveSpace") { ImmersiveView() .environment(viewModel) } } } Add this above the body in ContentView: @Environment(ViewModel.self) private var viewModel The ContentView body should be: VStack { Toggle("Show ImmersiveSpace", isOn: $showImmersiveSpace) .font(.title) .frame(width: 360) .padding(24) .glassBackgroundEffect() Button("Load Models") { viewModel.loadModels() } Button("Unload Models") { viewModel.unloadModels() } } ImmersiveView: struct ImmersiveView: View { @Environment(ViewModel.self) private var viewModel var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let rootEntity = viewModel.rootEntity { content.add(rootEntity) } } update: { content in if viewModel.rootEntity == nil && !content.entities.isEmpty { content.entities.removeAll() } else if let rootEntity = viewModel.rootEntity, content.entities.isEmpty { content.add(rootEntity) } } } } ViewModel: import Foundation import Observation import RealityKit import RealityKitContent @Observable class ViewModel { var rootEntity: Entity? init() { } func loadModels() { Task { if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { Task { @MainActor in if rootEntity == nil { rootEntity = Entity() } rootEntity!.addChild(scene) } } } /*if rootEntity == nil { rootEntity = Entity() } for _ in 0..<1000 { let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius:0.1) let material = SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, roughness: 0, isMetallic: true) let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) entity.position = [Float.random(in: 0.0..<1.0), Float.random(in: 0.5..<1.5), -Float.random(in: 1.5..<2.5)] rootEntity!.addChild(entity) }*/ } func unloadModels() { rootEntity?.children.removeAll() rootEntity?.removeFromParent() rootEntity = nil } }

I'm on VisionOS 1.2 beta and Instruments will capture everything but RealityKit information. RealityKit frames and RealityKit metrics captures no data. This used to work though I'm not sure what version it did. Unbelievably frustrating.

I am developing an immersive application featured with hands interacting my virtual objects. When my hand passes through the object, the rendered color of my hand is like blending hand color with object's color together, both semi transparent. I wonder if it is possible to make my hand be always "opaque", or say the alpha value of rendered hand (coz it's VST) is always 1, but the object's alpha value could be varied in terms of whether it is interacting with hand. (I was thinking this kind of feature might be supported by a specific component (just like HoverEffectComponent), but I didn't find that out)

I start a project for iPad/iPhone and I set SwiftUI - RealityKit and I can’t get the build to compile. I do nothing but create a project and hit run. So I am wondering if it’s even possible to run RealityKit on just an iPad anymore. I then tried to use Reality composer to import a basic cylinder shape to my project and that wouldn’t run either. So I am wondering how to get a 3D model into my iPad app so that the user can interact with it. Thanks for any help

[visionOS Question] I’m using the hierarchy of an entity loaded from a RealityKit Pro project to drive the content of a NavigationSplitView. I’d like to render any of the child entities in a RealityKitView in the detail pane when a user selects the child entity name from the list in the NavigationSplitView. I haven’t been able to render the entity in the detail view yet. I have tried updating the position/scaling to no avail. I also tried adding an AnchorEntity and set the child entity parent to it. I’m starting to suspect that the way to do it is to create a scene for each individual child entity in the RealityKit Pro project. I’d prefer to avoid this approach as I want a data-driven approach. Is there a way to implement my idea in RealityKit in code?

Im trying to use a RealityView with attachments and this error is being thowen. Am i using the RealityView wrong? I've seen other people use a RealityView with Attachments in visionOS... Please let this be a bug... RealityView { content, attachments in contentEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generatePlane(width: 0.3, height: 0.5)) content.add(contentEntity!) } attachments: { Text("Hello!") }.task { await loadImage() await runSession() await processImageTrackingUpdates() }

I am trying to verify my understanding of adding a HoverEffectComponent on entities inside a scene in RealityViews. Inside RealityComposer Pro, I have added the required Input Target and Collision components to one entity inside a node with multiple siblings, and left any options as defaults. They appear to create appropriately sized bounding boxes etc for these objects. In my RealityView I programmatically add the HoverEffectComponents to the entities as I don't see them in RCP. On device, this appears to "work" in the sense that when I gaze at the entity, it lights up - but so does every other entity in the scene - even those without Input Target and Collision components attached. Because the documentation on the components is sparse I am unsure if this is behavior as designed (e.g. all entities in that node are activated) or a bug or something in between. Has anyone encountered this and is there an appropriate way of setting these relationships up? Thanks

Hi all, I need some help debugging some code I wrote. Just as a preface, I'm an extremely new VR/AR developer and also very new to using ARKit + RealityKit. So please bear with me :) I'm just trying to make a simple program that will track an image and place an entity on it. The image is tracked correctly, but the moment the program recognizes the image and tries to place an entity on it, the program crashes. Here’s my code: VIEWMODEL CODE: Observable class ImageTrackingModel { var session = ARKitSession() // ARSession used to manage AR content var imageAnchors = [UUID: Bool]() // Tracks whether specific anchors have been processed var entityMap = [UUID: ModelEntity]() // Maps anchors to their corresponding ModelEntity var rootEntity = Entity() // Root entity to which all other entities are added let imageInfo = ImageTrackingProvider( referenceImages: ReferenceImage.loadReferenceImages(inGroupNamed: "referancePaper") ) init() { setupImageTracking() } func setupImageTracking() { if ImageTrackingProvider.isSupported { Task { try await session.run([imageInfo]) for await update in imageInfo.anchorUpdates { updateImage(update.anchor) } } } } func updateImage(_ anchor: ImageAnchor) { let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.05)) // THIS IS WHERE THE CODE CRASHES if imageAnchors[anchor.id] == nil { rootEntity.addChild(entity) imageAnchors[anchor.id] = true print("Added new entity for anchor \(anchor.id)") } if anchor.isTracked { entity.transform = Transform(matrix: anchor.originFromAnchorTransform) print("Updated transform for anchor \(anchor.id)") } } } APP: @main struct MyApp: App { @State var session = ARKitSession() @State var immersionState: ImmersionStyle = .mixed private var viewModel = ImageTrackingModel() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ModeSelectView() } ImmersiveSpace(id: "appSpace") { ModeSelectView() } .immersionStyle(selection: $immersionState, in: .mixed) } } Content View: RealityView { content in Task { viewModel.setupImageTracking() } } //Im serioulsy so clueless on how to use this view

Is it possible to create a material that behaves the same as AR ground plane, but in a NON-AR setup? Any help appreciated.

I'm trying to implement the playback of an HLS content with FairPlay, and I want to insert it into a RealityView using a VideoMaterial of a sphere. When I use unencrypted HLS content everything works correctly, but when I use FairPlay it doesn't. To initialize FairPlay I am using the following in the view: let contentKeyDelegate = ContentKeySessionDelegate(licenseURL: licenseURL, certificateURL: certificateURL) // Create the Content Key Session using the FairPlay Streaming key system. let contentKeySession = AVContentKeySession(keySystem: .fairPlayStreaming) contentKeySession.setDelegate(contentKeyDelegate, queue: DispatchQueue.main) contentKeySession.addContentKeyRecipient(asset) Has anyone else encountered this problem? Note: I'm testing in Vision Pro directly because the simulator hasn't support for FairPlay.

Context https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/751036 I found some sample code that does the process I described in my other post for ModelEntity here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqZ72kVle8A&ab_channel=ZackZack At runtime I'm loading: Immersive scene in a RealityView from Reality Compose Pro with the robot model baked into the file (not remote - asset in project) A Model3D view that pulls in the robot model from the web url A RemoteObjectView (RealityView) which downloads the model to temp, creates a ModelEntity, and adds it to the content of the RealityView Method 1 above is fine, but Methods 2 + 3 load the model with a pure black texture for some reason. Ideal state is Methods 2 + 3 look like the Method 1 result (see screenshot). Am I doing something wrong? e.g. I shouldn't use multiple Reality Views at once? Screenshot Code struct ImmersiveView: View { var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Add the initial RealityKit content if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(immersiveContentEntity) // Add an ImageBasedLight for the immersive content guard let resource = try? await EnvironmentResource(named: "ImageBasedLight") else { return } let iblComponent = ImageBasedLightComponent(source: .single(resource), intensityExponent: 0.25) immersiveContentEntity.components.set(iblComponent) immersiveContentEntity.components.set(ImageBasedLightReceiverComponent(imageBasedLight: immersiveContentEntity)) // Put skybox here.

I'm creating a custom scanning solution for iOS and using RealityKit Object Capture PhotogrammetrySession API to build a 3D model. I'm finding the data I'm sending to it is ignoring the depth and not building the model to scale. The documentation is a little light on how to format the depth so I'm wondering if someone could take a look at some example files I send to the PhotogrammetrySession. Would you be able to tell me what I'm not doing correctly? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-GoeR_KMhX_i7-y8M8ElDRrySasOdoHy/view?usp=sharing Thank you!

When the dinosaur protrudes from the portal in the Encounter Dinosaurs app, it appears to be lit by the real room lighting, just like any other RealityKit content is by default. When the dinosaur is inside of the portal, it appears to be lit by the virtual environment, and the two light sources seem to be smoothly blended between at the plane of the portal. How is this done? ImageBasedLightReceiverComponent allows the IBL to be changed on a per-entity basis, but the actual lightning calculation shader code seems to be a black box, and I have not seen a way to specify which IBL texture is used on a per-fragment basis.

Hello, I would like to change the aspect (scale, texture, color) of a 3D element (Model Entity) when I hovered it with my eyes. What should I do If I want to create a request for this feature? And how would I know if it will ever be considered or when it will appear?
