Spatial photo in RealityView has a default corner radius. I made a parallel effect with spatial photos in ScrollView(like Spatial Gallery), but the corner radius disappeared on left and right spatial photos. I've tried .clipShape and .mask modifiers, but they did't work. How to clip or mask spatial photo with corner radius effect?

I'm currently implementing 180° / 360° immersive video for my app. I easily implemented 360° by just applying VideoMaterial to flipped sphere. But I'm stuck at 180°. I'm trying to implement by applying VideoMaterial to hemisphere (half sphere). I want to make VideoMaterial to be visible half front sphere and half back sphere transparent / clear. Would there be any advice / information / idea to implement this? Your help would be grateful.

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? **

Hello, I am trying to build an AVP app for real-time "zero-latency" spatial video streaming. I am trying to figure out, on a high level, the best way to do this. Currently this is my method: Server sends stereo images via a WebRTC service (ie, livekit) The WebRTC stream is converted to a CVPixelBuffer, writes them to file, plays via AVPlayer, and applies a VideoMaterial to a plane entity. However, this is a bit hacky and it seems like this won't be compatible with Apple's spatial experinces. To my understanding, Apple supports HLS streaming for spatial experiences and APMP content. However, HLS (and even Low Latency HLS) introduces a second or more of latency, likely do to the segmentation nature of HLS. Thus, HLS will not work for us. Some other alternatives I've thought of are streaming the live stream video via webrtc from the server to a local computer in the AVP's network, and then using LL-HLS to stream from the local computer to the vision pro. Still, it seems like this would introduce latency on the order of seconds. Is my current approach the best way to implement this? Or could anyone suggest a better way, perhaps something compatible with AVP's spatial experiences

VideoMaterial Black Screen on Vision Pro Device (Works in Simulator) App Overview App Name: Extn Browser Bundle ID: ai.extn.browser Purpose: A visionOS web browser that plays 360°/180° VR videos in an immersive sphere environment Development Environment & SDK Versions Component Version Xcode 26.2 Swift 6.2 visionOS Deployment Target 26.2 Swift Concurrency MainActor isolation enabled App is released in the TestFlight. Frameworks Used SwiftUI - UI framework RealityKit - 3D rendering, MeshResource, ModelEntity, VideoMaterial AVFoundation - AVPlayer, AVAudioSession WebKit - WKWebView for browser functionality Network - NWListener for local proxy server Sphere Video Mechanism The app creates an immersive 360° video experience using the following approach: // 1. Create sphere mesh (10 meter radius for immersive viewing) let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 10.0) // 2. Create initial transparent material var material = UnlitMaterial() material.color = .init(tint: .clear) // 3. Create entity and invert sphere (negative X scale) let sphere = ModelEntity(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) sphere.scale = SIMD3<Float>(-1, 1, 1) // Inverts normals for inside-out viewing sphere.position = SIMD3<Float>(0, 1.5, 0) // Eye level // 4. Create AVPlayer with video URL let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL) // 5. Configure audio session for visionOS let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() try audioSession.setCategory(.playback, mode: .moviePlayback, options: [.mixWithOthers]) try audioSession.setActive(true) // 6. Create VideoMaterial and apply to sphere let videoMaterial = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) if var modelComponent = sphere.components[ModelComponent.self] { modelComponent.materials = [videoMaterial] sphere.components.set(modelComponent) } // 7. Start playback player.play() ImmersiveSpace Configuration // browserApp.swift ImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) { ImmersiveView() .environment(appModel) } .immersionStyle(selection: .constant(.mixed), in: .mixed) Entitlements <!-- browser.entitlements --> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key> <true/> Info.plist Network Configuration <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <true/> </dict> The Issue Behavior in Simulator: Video plays correctly on the inverted sphere surface - 360° video is visible and wraps around the user as expected. Behavior on Physical Vision Pro: The sphere displays a black screen. No video content is visible, though the sphere entity itself is present. Important: Not a DRM/Licensing Issue This issue is NOT related to Digital Rights Management (DRM) or FairPlay. I have tested with: Unlicensed raw MP4 video files (no DRM protection) Self-hosted video content with no copy protection Direct MP4 URLs from CDN without any licensing requirements The same black screen behavior occurs with all unprotected video sources, ruling out DRM as the cause. (Plain H.264 MP4, no DRM) Screen Recording: Working in Simulator The following screen recording demonstrates playing a 360° YouTube video in the immersive sphere on the visionOS Simulator: https://cdn.commenda.kr/screen-001.mov This confirms that the VideoMaterial and sphere rendering work correctly in the simulator, but the same setup shows a black screen on the physical Vision Pro device. Observations AVPlayer status reports .readyToPlay - The video appears to load successfully VideoMaterial is created without errors - No exceptions thrown Sphere entity renders - The geometry is visible (black surface) Audio session is configured - No errors during audio session setup Network requests succeed - The video URL is accessible from the device Same result with local/unprotected content - DRM is not a factor Console Logs (Device) The logging shows: Sphere created and added to scene AVPlayer created with correct URL VideoMaterial created and applied Player status transitions to .readyToPlay player.play() called successfully Rate shows 1.0 (playing) Despite all success indicators, the rendered output is black. Questions for Apple Are there known differences in VideoMaterial behavior between the visionOS Simulator and physical Vision Pro hardware? Does VideoMaterial(avPlayer:) require specific video codec/format requirements that differ on device? (The test video is a standard H.264 MP4) Is there a required Metal capability or GPU feature for VideoMaterial that may not be available in certain contexts on device? Does the immersion style (.mixed) affect VideoMaterial rendering on hardware? Are there additional entitlements required for video texture rendering in RealityKit on physical hardware? Attempted Solutions Configured AVAudioSession with .playback category Added delay before player.play() to ensure material is applied Verified sphere scale inversion (-1, 1, 1) Tested multiple video URLs (including raw, unlicensed MP4 files) Confirmed network connectivity on device Ruled out DRM/FairPlay issues by testing unprotected content Environment Details Device: Apple Vision Pro visionOS Version: 26.2 Xcode Version: 26.2 macOS Version: Darwin 25.2.0

I am working on an app that will allow a user to load and share their model files (usdz, usda, usdc). I'm looking at security options to prevent bad actors. Are there security or validation methods built into ARKit/RealityKit/CloudKit when loading models or saving them on the cloud? I want to ensure no one can inject any sort of exploit through these file types.

I noticed that when I drag the menu window in an Immersive View, the entities behind it becomes semi-transparent, and the boundary between virtual and real-world objects is very pronounced. May I ask how does VisionOS implement this effect? Is there any API or technique I can use in my own code to enable the same semi-transparent overlay - even when I am not dragging the menu window?

I'm trying to develop an app that broadcasts what the user sees (priorly we were using main camera access) but now we'd like to investigate and try with this option. I have set up the BroadcastExtension, I've added the picker, I click on my button, I can see my broadcast extension in the options list in the control center, once I click start, it stops after 1 second more or less. I'm not able to get anything in the console from my Sample Handler (prints or logs or anything). I can see however in the console.app some misleading information (one after the other): [INFO] -[RPRecordingManager getSystemBroadcastExtensionInfo:]_block_invoke:1333 Extension has passthrough license [INFO] -[RPRecordingManager getSystemBroadcastExtensionInfo:]_block_invoke:1336 Extension does not have passthrough license We have the entreprise license, the capability and I did add the capability on the extension target as well.

I am building a 360 photo viewer in VisionOS 26. Which allows the user to choose a 2 by 1 jpg and then renders it with a sphere mesh entity. And I use: TextureResource(contentsOf: url, options: options). I noticed two situations here in terms of mipmaps options. When setting "mipmapsMode: .none": The graphic quality within the "gaze area" looks sharp and clear The two poles (top and bottom) are perfectly rendered Massive shimmer around the "gaze area" When setting "mipmapsMode: .allocateAndGenerateAll": The graphic looks slightly blurrier than in ".none" within the "gaze area" The two poles are very blurry and hard to recognize the texture Much less shimmer around the "gaze area" My question would be: Is there a way to have the perfect graphic quality in ".none" without the massive shimmer? Thank you! Screenshots: mipmapsMode: .none mipmapsMode: .allocateAndGenerateAll

Hi Apple Developer Community, I'm developing an eye-tracking application using ARKit's ARFaceTrackingConfiguration and ARFaceAnchor.blendShapes for gaze detection using Xcode. I'm experiencing several calibration and accuracy issues and would appreciate insights from the community. Current Implementation Using ARFaceAnchor.blendShapes (.eyeLookUpLeft, .eyeLookDownLeft, .eyeLookInLeft, .eyeLookOutLeft, etc.) Implementing custom sensitivity curves and smoothing algorithms Applying baseline correction and coordinate mapping Using quadratic regression for calibration point mapping Issues I'm Facing 1. Calibration Mismatch Red dot position doesn't align with where I'm actually looking Significant offset between intended gaze point and actual cursor position Calibration seems to drift or become inaccurate over time 2. Extreme Eye Movement Requirements Need to make exaggerated eye movements to reach screen edges/corners Natural eye movements don't translate to proportional cursor movement Difficulty reaching certain screen regions even with calibration 3. Sensitivity and Stability Issues Cursor jitters or jumps around when looking at center Too much sensitivity to micro-movements Inconsistent behavior between calibration and normal operation 4. I also noticed that tracking on calibration screen as well as tracking on reading screen works better as expected when head movement is there, but I do not want much head movement. I want tracking with normal eye movement while reading an Ebook. Primary Question: Word-Level Eye Tracking Feasibility Is word-level eye tracking (tracking gaze as users read through individual words in an ebook) technically feasible with current iPhone/iPad hardware? I understand that Apple's built-in eye tracking is primarily an accessibility feature for UI navigation. However, I'm wondering if the TrueDepth camera and ARKit's eye tracking capabilities are sufficient for: Tracking natural reading patterns (left-to-right, line-by-line progression) Detecting which specific words a user is looking at Maintaining accuracy for sustained reading sessions (15-30 minutes) Working reliably across different users and lighting conditions Questions for the Community Hardware Limitations: Are iPhone/iPad TrueDepth cameras capable of the precision needed for word-level tracking, or is this beyond current hardware capabilities? Calibration Best Practices: What calibration strategies have worked best for accurate gaze mapping? How many calibration points are typically needed? Reading-Specific Challenges: Are there particular challenges when tracking reading behavior vs. general gaze tracking? Alternative Approaches: Are there better approaches than ARKit blend shapes for this use case? Current Setup Devices: iPhone 14 Pro iOS Version: iOS 18.3 ARKit Version: Latest available Any insights, experiences, or technical guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly interested in hearing from developers who have worked on similar eye tracking applications or have experience with the limitations and capabilities of ARKit's eye tracking features. Thank you for your time and expertise!

Hello all, I saw this interesting VisionOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/splitscreen-multi-display/id6478007837 I was wondering if there was any documentation on the Swift APIs that were used to create this app.

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!

I want to let users place 2D/3D “artworks” on detected walls and have them reappear in exactly the same real‑world spot after quitting and relaunching the app (like widgets do, but for my own entities).Environment: Xcode 26, visionOS 2.0, RealityKit + ARKitSession/WorldTrackingProvider Entities are parented to a holder that’s aligned to a wall via plane/mesh raycasts What I’ve tried: Create a WorldAnchor at placement, save UUID + full 4×4 transform On next launch, re-create the WorldAnchor (or set the saved transform) and attach the entity Gate restore on relocalization/mesh updates and disable all raycast/search after restore Issue: After relaunch, placement still resolves relative to current device pose, not the same wall position. Questions: Is there a public API in visionOS 2.0 to persist app‑managed world anchors across sessions (room‑fixed), e.g., AnchorStore or equivalent? If not, what’s the recommended pattern to reliably restore wall‑anchored content? Are persistence features mentioned for widgets/windows available to third‑party RealityKit entities?

There a way to use contentCaptureProtected with Quick Look on VisionOS 26? Or exist a way to see a spatial photo with Quick Look without sharing options ?

When assigning a ManipulationComponent to an Entity SceneEvents.WillRemoveEntity will be called for that Entity. Expected Behavior: the Entity is not (even if temporarily) removed from the Scene and no SceneEvents will be triggered as a result of assigning a ManipulationComponent. FB20872220

My visionOS 26.3 app displays a diorama-like scene in a RealityView in a mixed immersive space, about 1 meter square, with view attachments floating above the scene. Each view attachment fades out after user interaction, by animating the view's opacity. What I'm observing is that depending on the position of a view attachment relative to the scene and the camera, an unwanted cutout effect is observed (presumably because of draw order issues), as shown in the right column in the screenshots below. YouTube video link of these sequences: https://youtu.be/oTuo0okKCkc (19 seconds) My question: How does visionOS determine the view attachment draw order relative to the RealityView scene? If I better understood how the draw order is determined, I could modify my scene to ensure that the view attachments were always drawn after the scene, fixing the unwanted cutout effect. I've successfully used ModelSortGroupComponent to control the draw order of entities within the RealityView scene, but my understanding is that this approach cannot be used with view attachments. I've submitted FB22014370 about this issue. Thank you.

Can an app made with the Room Plan API be used on iPhones without LIDAR? If so, how much accuracy would be lost compared to iPhones with LIDAR? If not, is there an API similar to RoomPlan that works on iPhones without LiDAR?

SpatialEventGesture Not Working to Show Hidden Menu in Immersive Panorama View - visionOS Problem Description I'm developing a Vision Pro app that displays 360° panoramic photos in a full immersive space. I have a floating menu that auto-hides after 5 seconds, and I want users to be able to show the menu again using spatial gestures (particularly pinch gestures) when it's hidden. However, the SpatialEventGesture implementation is not working as expected. The menu doesn't appear when users perform pinch gestures or other spatial interactions in the immersive space. Current Implementation Here's the relevant gesture detection code in my ImmersiveView: import SwiftUI import RealityKit struct ImmersiveView: View { @EnvironmentObject var appModel: AppModel @Environment(\.openWindow) private var openWindow var body: some View { RealityView { content in // RealityView content setup with panoramic sphere... let rootEntity = Entity() content.add(rootEntity) // Load panoramic content here... } // Using SpatialEventGesture to handle multiple spatial gestures .gesture( SpatialEventGesture() .onEnded { eventCollection in // Check menu visibility state if !appModel.isPanoramaMenuVisible { // Iterate through event collection to handle various gestures for event in eventCollection { switch event.kind { case .touch: print("Detected spatial touch gesture, showing menu") showMenuWithGesture() return case .indirectPinch: print("Detected spatial pinch gesture, showing menu") showMenuWithGesture() return case .pointer: print("Detected spatial pointer gesture, showing menu") showMenuWithGesture() return @unknown default: print("Detected unknown spatial gesture: \(event.kind)") showMenuWithGesture() return } } } } ) // Keep long press gesture as backup .simultaneousGesture( LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 1.5) .onEnded { _ in if !appModel.isPanoramaMenuVisible { print("Detected long press gesture, showing menu") showMenuWithGesture() } } ) } private func showMenuWithGesture() { if !appModel.isPanoramaMenuVisible { appModel.showPanoramaMenu() if !appModel.windowExists(id: "PanoramaMenu") { openWindow(id: "PanoramaMenu", value: "menu") } } } } What I've Tried Multiple SpatialTapGesture approaches: Originally tried using multiple .gesture() modifiers with SpatialTapGesture(count: 1) and SpatialTapGesture(count: 2), but realized they override each other. SpatialEventGesture implementation: Switched to SpatialEventGesture to handle multiple event types (.touch, .indirectPinch, .pointer), but pinch gestures still don't trigger the menu. Added debugging: Console logs show that the gesture callbacks are never called when performing pinch gestures in the immersive space. Backup LongPressGesture: Added a simultaneous long press gesture as backup, which also doesn't work consistently. Expected Behavior When the panorama menu is hidden (after 5-second auto-hide), users should be able to: Perform a pinch gesture (indirect pinch) to show the menu Tap in space to show the menu Use other spatial gestures to show the menu Questions Is SpatialEventGesture the correct approach for detecting gestures in a full immersive RealityView? Are there any special considerations for gesture detection when the RealityView contains a large panoramic sphere that might be intercepting gestures? Should I be using a different gesture approach for visionOS immersive spaces? Is there a way to ensure gestures work even when the RealityView content (panoramic sphere) might be blocking them? Environment Xcode 16.1 visionOS 2.5 Testing on Vision Pro device App uses SwiftUI + RealityKit Any guidance on the proper way to implement spatial gesture detection in visionOS immersive spaces would be greatly appreciated! Additional Context The app manages multiple windows and the gesture detection should work specifically when in the immersive panorama mode with the menu hidden. Thank you for any help or suggestions!

I want to step into portal world. I've know PortalCrossingComponent can make an entity to cross portal, but how to make device cross into portal world?
