No object detection on visionOS?

I recently had a chat with a company in the manufacturing business. They were asking if Vision Pro could be used to guide maintenance workers through maintenance processes, a use-case that is already established on other platforms. I thought Vision Pro would be perfect for this as well, until I read in this article from Apple that object detection is not supported:

To me, this sounds like sacrificing a lot of potential for business scenarios, just for the sake of data privacy. Is this really the case, i.e. is there no way to detect real-world objects and place content on top of them? Image recognition would not be enough in this use-case.

Is this really the case, i.e. is there no way to detect real-world objects and place content on top of them?

Correct, there is no way to do this on visionOS, please file an enhancement request for this functionality using [Feedback Assistant]<https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/>.

I'm wondering the same thing. It should be a top priority to get object detection support to enable truly useful apps. Otherwise most application that can be created are 2D ports into a 3d world and games.
