It's much easier to use custom material to bridge metal shader onto Reality model than using LowLevelTexture does the same thing.
Why VisionOS doesn't support this material:

As in the title: openImmersiveSpace works as expected. The ImmersiveSpace in the ID opens normally but the function never resolves a Result. Here is a workaround I used to make user it was on the UI thread and scenePhase was active:
`
@MainActor func openSpaceWithStateCheck() async {
if scenePhase == .active {
Task {
switch await openImmersiveSpace(id: "RoomCaptureInteraction") {
case .opened:
isCapturingImagery = true
break
case .error:
print("!! An error occurred when trying to open the immersive space captureRoomImagery")
case .userCancelled:
print("!! The user declined opening immersive space captureRoomImagery")
@unknown default:
print("!! unknown default result of opening space")
break
}
}
} else {
print("Scene not active, deferring immersive space opening")
}
}
I'm on visionOS 2.4 and SDK 2.2.
I have tried uninstalling the app and rebuilding. Tried simply opening an empty ImmersiveSpace.
The consistency of the ImmersiveSpace opening at least means I can work around it. Even dismissImmersiveSpace works normally and closes the immersive space. But a workaround seems hamfisted.
I want to display a model image in the windowGroup window. This image is not unique. To display the model image, how should I convert it into an image
当我进入混合空间时,出现一个模型,但模型后面有一个 windowGroup,无法完全查看。如果我想点击进入 mix 空间,我需要使用代码将 windowGroup 移动到另一个位置,而不是手动移动

In Vision OS app, We have two types of windows:
Main App Window – This is the default window that launches when the app starts. It displays the video listings and other primary content.
Immersive Space Window – This opens only when a user starts streaming or playing a video.
Issue:
When entering the immersive space, the main app window remains visible in front of it unless manually closed. To avoid this, I currently close the main window when transitioning to immersive space and reopen it when exiting. However, this causes the app to restart instead of resuming from its previous state.
Desired Behavior:
I want the main app window to retain its state and seamlessly resume from where it was before entering immersive mode, rather than restarting.
Attempts & Challenges:
Tried managing opacity, visibility, and state preservation, but none worked as expected.
Couldn’t find a way to push the main window to the background while bringing the immersive space to the foreground.
Looking for a solution to keep the main window’s state intact while transitioning between immersive and normal modes.
I am develop visionOS app. I am now very interested in Metal and Compositor Services, but I have not explored them in depth. I know that Metal has a higher degree of control freedom. I am wondering if using Compositor Services will have fewer functions than RealityKit in AR technology (such as scene reconstruction and understanding, hover effect, etc.).

Hello,
A lot of the RealityKit APIs (Ex. LowLevelMesh, LowLevelTexture, etc.) are marked with MainActor so they needed to be accessed on the main thread.
This creates issues when we need to perform expensive GPU related operations since now we need to perform those on the main thread. This results in bottlenecks and hangs in our application. We would like to use a multi-threaded approach to solve these problems which is difficult to do here. We are constantly streaming data whether the app is just appearing or the user is interacting with our application so we need to be able to perform these operations on a separate thread.
Any advice on how to achieve this using RealityKit?
Thank you.
Sorry for the cross-post but it's now two days in and this isn't fixed.
If you try to use Xcode 16.3b3 with visionOS, it won't download the visionOS SDK, gives a 'network error' so you can't use the latest beta for Apple Vision Pro.

I am experiencing an issue where USDZ files exported from Blender do not display textures when opened in Apple Vision Pro Quick Look. Instead of the expected materials, the model appears completely white, as if the textures are missing or not being recognized by the rendering engine.

My VisionOS App (Travel Immersive) has two interface windows: a main 2D interface window and a 3D Earth window. If the user first closes the main interface window and then the Earth window, clicking the app icon again will only launch the Earth window while failing to display the main interface window. However, if the user closes the Earth window first and then the main interface window, the app restarts normally.
Below is the code of
import SwiftUI
@main
struct Travel_ImmersiveApp: App {
@StateObject private var appModel = AppModel()
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup(id: "MainWindow") {
ContentView()
.environmentObject(appModel)
.onDisappear {
appModel.closeEarthWindow = true
}
}
.windowStyle(.automatic)
.defaultSize(width: 1280, height: 825)
WindowGroup(id: "Earth") {
if !appModel.closeEarthWindow {
Globe3DView()
.environmentObject(appModel)
.onDisappear {
appModel.isGlobeWindowOpen = false
}
} else {
EmptyView() // 关闭时渲染空视图
}
}
.windowStyle(.volumetric)
.defaultSize(width: 0.8, height: 0.8, depth: 0.8, in: .meters)
ImmersiveSpace(id: "ImmersiveView") {
ImmersiveView()
.environmentObject(appModel)
}
}
}
When I've made an animated UDSZ, at what framerate will the animation be rendered in QuickLook? Is it the same across all devices? (iPhone, Apple Vision Pro, etc.) and viewing environments? (QuickLook, inside an ARView, etc.)
Suppose I export my file at 30fps and the device draws at 60fps, does the device interpolate between frames automatically, animate at a lower frame rate, or play it at twice the speed? What if it were 24fps?
My primary concern with understanding frame rates is a bit of trouble I've had making perfectly looping animations. There always seems to be the slightest stutter between iterations.
Thanks in advance for any insights you're able to provide!
When I show a window while a sky sphere is shown, the handles to drag/close/resize the window are hidden. The colliders still work, so they are there, but only the visuals are hidden. I already know from another project, that this also happens to volumes.
They only appear once you get closer to the window or if the sky sphere gets removed.
Is this a known issue or is there a fix for that?
.persistentSystemOverlays(.visible)does not fix it
Xcode 16.3.0 Beta, visionOS 2.4
In an earlier beta, BillboardComponent had rotationAxis and upDirection properties which allowed more fine-grained control of how an entity rotates towards the camera.
Currently, it is only possible to orient the z axis of the entity.
Looking at the robot in the documentation, the rotation of its z axis causes its feet to lift off the ground.
Before, it was possible to restrain the rotation to one axis (y, for example) so that the robot's feet stayed on the ground with
billboard.upDirection = [0, 1, 0]
billboard.rotationAxis = [0, 1, 0]
Is there an alternative way to achieve this? Are these properties (or similar) coming back?
Hello,
I'm trying to view the components of an Entity I'm creating in RealityKit by reading from a USDZ file. I have the following code snippet in my app.
if let appleEntity = try? Entity.loadModel(named: "apple_tile") {
let c = appleEntity.components
for comp in c { // <- compiler error here
print(comp)
}
}
The compiler error I'm receiving says "For-in loop requires 'Entity.ComponentSet' to conform to 'Sequence'". However, I thought this was the case, according to the documentation for Entity.ComponentSet?
Curious if anyone else has had this problem. Running XCode 15.4, and my Swift version is
xcrun swift -version
swift-driver version: 1.90.11.1 Apple Swift version 5.10 (swiftlang-5.10.0.13 clang-1500.3.9.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-macosx14.0
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?
I am wondering, is it possible to somehow configure a 3D object to respond to the gaze of a person, like change colors of some parts of the 3D-Model where a person is looking, i.e. where a person's gaze lands on the surface of the 3D-model ?
For example, if there is a 3D model of a Cool Dragon 🐉 in the physical space of a person, when seen through with the mixed reality view, of a VisionPro. Now, it would be really cool to change only the color, or make some specific parts of the dragon skin shimmer, but only in the areas where a person is looking. Is this possible ? Is it do-able with eye-tracking of VisionPro ?
Any advice would be appreciated. 🤝 🤓 I am new to iOS and VisionOS development.

Hi, I'm developing a virtual camera system using ReplayKit to capture scene video by directly accessing raw video buffers. The capture mechanism works flawlessly when repeatedly starting and stopping video capture within a continuous immersive environment. However, a critical issue arises when interrupting the immersive space:
Step 1: Enter immersive environment and start and stop capture videos(Multiple times with no issues)
Step 2: Press the crown button to exit the immersive environment
Step 3: Return to the immersive space subsequently
Step 4: Attempt to start the video capture
At this point, the startCapture method throws an unexpected error, disrupting the video capture workflow.
This is the Xcode error that I see " [ERROR] -[RPScreenRecorder startCaptureWithHandler:completionHandler:]_block_invoke_2:500 failed to start due to error: Error Domain=com.apple.ReplayKit.RPRecordingErrorDomain Code=-5803 "Recording failed to start" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Recording failed to start}"
I have tried all possible ways to stopCapture including OnDisappear and other methods and nothing seems to solve this.
Hi,
I'm trying to correct the lens distortion in frames provided by Enterprise API camera frame provider. The frames provided seem to have only in/extrinsics info, but not the distortion lookup table.
Is there some magic setting, or function to do that (I can't seem to find anything like this)? Or is there a way to use AVCameraCalibrationData together with provider?
Hi,
We’ve been successfully using the RoomPlan API in our application for over two years. Recently, however, users have reported encountering persistent capture errors during their sessions. Specifically, the errors observed are:
CaptureError.worldTrackingFailure
CaptureError.exceedSceneSizeLimit
What we have observed:
Persistent Errors: The errors continue to occur even after initiating new capture sessions.
Normal Usage: Our implementation adheres to typical usage patterns of the RoomPlan API without exceeding any documented room size limits.
Limited Feature Usage: We are not utilizing the WorldTracking feature for the StructureBuilder functionality to stitch rooms together.
Potential State Caching: Given that these errors persist across sessions, we suspect that there might be memory or state cached between sessions that is not being cleared, particularly since we are not taking advantage of StructureBuilder.
Request:
Could you please advise if there is any internal caching or memory retention between capture sessions that might lead to these errors? Additionally, we would appreciate guidance on how to clear or manage this state when the StructureBuilder feature is not in use.
Here is a generalised version of our capture session initialization code to help diagnose the issue.
struct RoomARCaptureView: UIViewRepresentable {
typealias Handler = (CapturedRoom, Error?) -> Void
@Binding var stop: Bool
@Binding var done: Bool
let completion: Handler?
func makeUIView(context: Self.Context) -> RoomCaptureView {
let view = RoomCaptureView(frame: .zero)
view.delegate = context.coordinator
view.captureSession.run(configuration: .init())
return view
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: RoomCaptureView, context: Self.Context) {
if stop {
// Stop the session only once, multiple times causes issues with the final presentation
uiView.captureSession.stop()
stop = false
done = true
}
}
static func dismantleUIView(_ uiView: RoomCaptureView, coordinator: Self.Coordinator) {
uiView.captureSession.stop()
}
func makeCoordinator() -> ARViewCoordinator {
ARViewCoordinator(completion)
}
@objc(ARViewCoordinator)
class ARViewCoordinator: NSObject, RoomCaptureViewDelegate {
var completion: Handler?
public required init?(coder: NSCoder) {}
public func encode(with coder: NSCoder) {}
public init(_ completion: Handler?) {
super.init()
self.completion = completion
}
public func captureView(shouldPresent roomDataForProcessing: CapturedRoomData, error: (Error)?) -> Bool {
return true
}
public func captureView(didPresent processedResult: CapturedRoom, error: (Error)?) {
completion?(processedResult, error)
}
}
}
Thank you for your assistance.
