Draw An Outline Around a Model Entity
Hi, Is there a resource or sample code about how to draw an outline around a mesh in RealityKit? Typically, this is useful for visualizing a selection, like in Reality Composer Pro. How to achieve such effect? A shader material? A post-process effect in ARView or RealityRenderer? Methods such as duplicating the entity mesh, scaling it, and using material.faceCulling = .front did not look good in my experiments. Thank you.

Reality Kit Scene
Hi, I’m wondering whether RealityKit has its own scene management system, since it uses ARView (backed by ARKit) to present AR content. Does RealityKit manage scenes independently, or does it rely entirely on ARKit’s scene handling? Thank you.

360° video playback Issue
When rendering an equirectangular video on a sphere using VideoMaterial and MeshResource.generateSphere(), there is a visible black seam line running vertically on the sphere. This appears to be at the UV seam where the texture coordinates wrap from 1.0 back to 0.0. The same video file plays without any visible seam in other 360° video players on Vision Pro, so the issue is not with the video content itself. Here is the relevant code: private func createVideoSphere(content: RealityViewContent, player: AVPlayer) { let sphere = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 1000) let material = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: sphere, materials: [material]) entity.scale *= .init(x: -1, y: 1, z: 1) // Flip to render on inside content.add(entity) player.play() } The setup is straightforward: MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 1000) generates the sphere mesh VideoMaterial(avPlayer:) provides the video texture X scale is flipped to -1 so the texture renders on the inside of the sphere The video is a standard equirectangular 360° MP4 file What I've tried: I attempted to create a custom sphere mesh using MeshDescriptor with duplicate vertices at the UV seam (longitude 0°/360°) to ensure proper UV continuity. However, VideoMaterial did not render any video on the custom mesh (only audio played), and the app eventually crashed. It seems VideoMaterial may have specific mesh requirements. Questions: Is the black seam a known limitation of MeshResource.generateSphere() when used with VideoMaterial for 360° video? Is there a recommended way to eliminate this UV seam — for example, a texture addressing mode or a specific mesh configuration that works with VideoMaterial? Is there an official sample project or code example for playing 360° equirectangular video in a fully immersive space on visionOS? That would be extremely helpful as a reference. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Possible Bug - Hover Effects/Spatial Event Compatibilty with PSVR2 Controllers?
Hi, I would like clarification on whether the new hover effects feature introduced in vision os 26 supported pinch gestures through the psvr 2 controllers. In your sample application, I found that this was not working. Pulling the trigger on the controller whilst looking at the 3d object did not activate the hover effect spatial event in the sample application. (The object is showing the highlight though), only pinch clicking with my fingers seem to be registering/triggering the spatial event. I am using Vision OS 26.3 This is inconsistent with how the psvr2 controller behaves on swift ui views and ui view elements, where the trigger press does count as a button click. The sample I used was this one: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/compositorservices/rendering_hover_effects_in_metal_immersive_apps

RealityView attachment draw order
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.

RealityKit_DirectionalLight_Question
My application calculates three distinct Meesus Double [x, y, z] Radian values to light a sphere in RealityKit with DirectionalLight. It is my understanding that I must use (simd_quatf) for each radian value to properly light the sphere in the view. The code correctly [orientates] the sphere with the combined (simd_quatf) DirectionalLight in the view, but the illumination (Z-axis) fails to properly illuminate the sphere with the expected result, compared to associated Meesus web page images. For the moment, I do not know how to correct the (Z-axis). Curious for a suggestion ... :] // Location values. let theLatitude: Double = 51.13107260 let theLongitude: Double = -114.01127910 let currentDate: Date = Date() struct TheCalculatedMoonPhaseTest_ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { if #available(macOS 15.0, *) { RealityView { content in let moonSphere_Entity = Entity.createSphere(radius: 0.90, color: .black) moonSphere.Entity.name = "MoonSphere" moonSphere.Entity.position = SIMD3<Float>(x: 0, y: 0, z: 0) content.add(moonSphere.Entity) let sunLight_Entity = createDirectionalLight(latitude: theLatitude, longitude: theLongitude, date: currentDate) content.add(sunLight_Entity) } // End of [RealityView] } else { // Earlier version required. } // End of [if #available(macOS 15.0, *)] } // End of [VStack] .background(Color.black) } // End of [var body: some View] // MARK: - 🟠🟠🟠🟠 [SET THE BACKGROUND COLOUR] 🟠🟠🟠🟠 var backgroundColor: Color = Color.init(.black) // MARK: - 🟠🟠🟠🟠 [CREATE THE DIRECTIONAL LIGHT FOR THE SPHERE] 🟠🟠🟠🟠 func createDirectionalLight(latitude: Double, longitude: Double, date: Date) -> Entity { let directionalLight = DirectionalLight() directionalLight.light.color = .white directionalLight.light.intensity = 1000000 directionalLight.shadow = DirectionalLightComponent.Shadow() directionalLight.shadow?.maximumDistance = 5 directionalLight.shadow?.depthBias = 1 // MARK: 🟠🟠🟠🟠 Retrieve the [MEESUS MOON AGE VALUES] from the [CONSTANT FOLDER] 🟠🟠🟠🟠 let theMeesusMoonAge_LunarAgeDaysValue = 25.90567592898601 if theMeesusMoonAge_LunarAgeDaysValue >= 23.10 && theMeesusMoonAge_LunarAgeDaysValue < (29.530588853 - 1.00) { let someCalculatedX_WestEastRadian: Float = Float(1.00) // Identify the sphere’s DirectionalLight Tilt Angle (Y) radian value :: // Note :: The following Tilt Angle is corrected to [Zenith] with the [MeesusCalculatedTilt_Angle] minus the [MeesusCalculatedPar_Angle]. let someCalculatedY_TiltAngleRadian: Float = Float(1.3396086) // Identify the sphere’s DirectionalLight Illumination (Z) radian Value :: // Note :: The Meesus calculated illumination fraction is converted to degrees, then converted to a radian value. let someCalculatedZ_IlluminationAngleRadian: Float = Float(0.45176168630244457) // <=== 14.3800% Illumination. // Define rotation angles in radians for X, Y, and Z axes. let x_Radians = someCalculatedX_WestEastRadian let y_Radians = someCalculatedY_TiltAngleRadian let z_Radians = someCalculatedZ_IlluminationAngleRadian // Identify and separate the quaternion [simd_quatf] for each Radian. let q_X = simd_quatf(angle: x_Radians, axis: SIMD3<Float>(1, 0, 0)) let q_Y = simd_quatf(angle: y_Radians, axis: SIMD3<Float>(0, 1, 0)) let q_Z = simd_quatf(angle: z_Radians, axis: SIMD3<Float>(0, 0, 1)) // Apply and combine the rotations, where order matters. let combinedRotation = q_Z * q_Y * q_X // Identify the [Combined Rotation]. // The [MyMoonMeesus] :: [WANING CRESCENT] calculated [combinedRotation] :: simd_quatf(real: 0.73715997, imag: SIMD3<Float>(0.24427173, 0.61516714, -0.13599981)) ° Radians // Normalize the [combinedRotation]. let theNormalizesRotation = simd_normalize(combinedRotation) // Identify the [Normalized Combined Rotation]. // The [MyMoonMeesus] :: [WANING CRESCENT] calculated [normalizedRotation] :: simd_quatf(real: 0.73715997, imag: SIMD3<Float>(0.24427173, 0.61516714, -0.13599981)) ° Radians // Assume the [theNormalizesRotation] appears reversed. let theCorrectedRotation = theNormalizesRotation.inverse // Identify the [Reversed Combined Rotation]. // The [MyMoonMeesus] :: [WANING CRESCENT] calculated [correctedRotation] :: simd_quatf(real: 0.73715997, imag: SIMD3<Float>(-0.24427173, -0.61516714, 0.13599981)) ° Radians // Apply the [Corrected Rotation] to the entity. directionalLight.transform.rotation *= theCorrectedRotation // Add the [directionalLight] to the scene :: let anchor = AnchorEntity() anchor.addChild(directionalLight) } // End of [if theMeesusMoonAge_LunarAgeDaysValue >= 23.10 && theMeesusMoonAge_LunarAgeDaysValue < (29.530588853 - 1.00)] return directionalLight } // End of [func createDirectionalLight(latitude: Double, longitude: Double, date: Date) -> Entity] } // End of [struct TheCalculatedMoonPhaseTest_ContentView: View] // MARK: 🟠🟠🟠🟠 [ENTITY HELPER EXTENSION] 🟠🟠🟠🟠 extension Entity { static func createSphere(radius: Float, color: NSColor) -> Entity { let mesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: radius) var material = PhysicallyBasedMaterial() material.baseColor = .init(tint: color) let modelComponent = ModelComponent(mesh: mesh, materials: [material]) let entity = Entity() entity.components.set(modelComponent) entity.components.set(Transform()) return entity } // End of [static func createSphere(radius: Float, color: NSColor) -> Entity] } // End of [extension Entity] // Application Image :: Calgary // Website Image :: timeanddate // mooncalc.org

VisionOs Development: Seeking Advice on Key Strategic Crossroads
I am a developer working on developing a space journal application. During the development process, I encountered several crucial strategic and technical decisions, and I would like to hear the experiences of those who have gone through similar situations. Here are the simplified versions of several questions I have. Resource allocation: Which problem should I address first? Design direction: In terms of interaction and UI design, how should I balance "immersion" and "usability"? Market selection: Was it easier for a business to survive in the early stages as a B2B or B2C entity? Cost estimation: How can I reasonably present to my investors the development costs of this project? In order to avoid relying solely on intuition in my decisions, I created a short questionnaire, hoping to gather more structured opinions from my colleagues. If you are also exploring VisionOS, I sincerely hope you can take a few minutes to fill it out. The results are extremely important to me, and I would be more than happy to share the final summary findings with you.

Sticky Horizontal AnchorEntity
Hi, I'm trying to use AnchorEntity for horizontal surfaces. It works when the entity is being created, but I'm looking for a way to snap this entity to the nearest surface, after translating it, for example with a DragGesture. What would be the best way to achieve this? Using raycast, creating a new anchor, trackingMode to continuous etc. Do I need to use ARKitSession as I want continuous tracking?

VideoMaterial Black Screen on Vision Pro Device (Works in Simulator)
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

Nested RealityKit entity collisions priority
Hello, I'm struggling trying to interact with a RealityKit entity nested (or at least visually nested) in a second one. I think I've the same issue as mentioned on this StackOverflow post, but I can't manage to reproduce the solution. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79244424/how-to-prioritize-a-specific-entity-when-collision-boxes-overlap-in-realitykit What I'd like to achieve is to translate the red box using a DragGesture, while still be able to interact using a TapGesture on the sphere. Currently, I can only do one at a time. Does anyone know the solution? extension CollisionGroup { static let parent: CollisionGroup = CollisionGroup(rawValue: 1 << 0) static let child: CollisionGroup = CollisionGroup(rawValue: 1 << 1) } struct ImmersiveView: View { var body: some View { RealityView { content in let boxMesh = MeshResource.generateBox(size: 0.35) let boxMaterial = SimpleMaterial(color: .red.withAlphaComponent(0.25), isMetallic: false) let boxEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: boxMesh, materials: [boxMaterial]) let sphereMesh = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 0.05) let sphereMaterial = SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, isMetallic: false) let sphereEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: sphereMesh, materials: [sphereMaterial]) content.add(sphereEntity) content.add(boxEntity) boxEntity.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) boxEntity.components.set( CollisionComponent( shapes: [ShapeResource.generateBox(size: SIMD3<Float>(repeating: 0.35))], isStatic: true, filter: CollisionFilter( group: .parent, mask: .parent.subtracting(.child) ) ) ) sphereEntity.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) sphereEntity.components.set(HoverEffectComponent()) sphereEntity.components.set( CollisionComponent( shapes: [ShapeResource.generateSphere(radius: 0.05)], isStatic: true, filter: CollisionFilter( group: .child, mask: .child.subtracting(.parent) ) ) ) } } }

Sample code not working as expected: Implementing SharePlay for immersive spaces in visionOS
The following sample code project does not seem to work as expected: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/implementing-shareplay-for-immersive-spaces-in-visionos Have tried to get this project working with a client, but while we were able to see nearby users and make facetime calls, the color changing cube experience always remained a single color. Are there step-by-step instructions that Apple has used to verify this sample code so I can try to recreate this sample code's expected behavior for both nearby participants and those in a Facetime call?

Help with visionOS pushWindow issues requested
I first started using the SwiftUI pushWindow API in visionOS 26.2, and I've reported several bugs I discovered, listed below. Under certain circumstances, pushed window relationships may break, and this behavior affects all other apps, not just the app that caused the problem, until the next device reboot. In other cases, the system may crash and restart. (FB21287011) When a window presented with pushWindow is dismissed, its parent window reappears in the wrong location (FB21294645) Pinning a pushed window to a wall breaks pushWindow for all other apps on the system (FB21594646) pushWindow interacts poorly with the window bar close app option (FB21652261) If a window locked to a wall calls pushWindow, the original window becomes unlocked (FB21652271) If a window locked in place calls pushWindow and the pushed window is closed, the system freezes (FB21828413) pushWindow, UIApplication.open, and a dismissed immersive space result in multiple failures that require a device reboot (FB21840747) visionOS randomly foregrounds a backgrounded immersive space app with a pushed window's parent window visible instead of the pushed window (FB21864652) When a running app is selected in the visionOS home view, windows presented with pushWindow spontaneously close (FB21873482) Pushed windows use the fixed scaling behavior instead of the dynamic scaling behavior I'm posting the issues here in case this information is helpful to other developers. I'd also like to hear about other pushWindow issues developers have encountered, so I can watch out for them. Questions: I've discovered that some of the issues above can be partially worked around by applying the defaultLaunchBehavior and restorationBehavior scene modifiers to suppress window restoration and locking, which pushWindow appears to interact poorly with. Are there other recommended workarounds? I've observed that the Photos and Settings apps, which predate the pushWindow API, are not affected by the issues I reported. Are there other more reliable ways I could achieve the same behavior as pushWindow without relying on that API? I'd appreciate any guidance Apple engineers could provide. Thank you.

ModelEntity position values are stale after world recenter (Crown long press)
Hi everyone, I’m working with RealityKit on visionOS and I’m seeing unexpected behavior when the user long-presses the Digital Crown, which recenters the world. Observed behavior: When the world is recentered via long-pressing the Crown, the models remain visually in the correct place (as expected). However, if I query the model’s position or transform immediately after recentering (e.g. entity.position or similar), I still get the old values from before recenter. As soon as I interact with the model using a gesture (drag/rotate/scale), the position updates and then querying it returns the correct, updated values. So effectively: Recenter happens Visual position is correct Programmatic position remains stale First gesture causes the position to “snap” to the correct updated value Questions: Is there any event, notification, or callback that fires when the world is recentered due to a long press of the Crown button? Is there a recommended way to get the updated world-space transform immediately after recenter, without waiting for a gesture? Is this expected behavior due to deferred/lazy transform updates in RealityKit? Right now it feels like recentering updates the coordinate system but doesn’t immediately commit new transform values to entities until some interaction occurs. Any guidance or best-practice patterns for handling this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Buttons become unresponsive after using .windowStyle(.plain) with auto-hiding menu
I'm developing a visionOS panorama viewer app where I need to implement an auto-hiding floating menu in immersive space. The menu should: Show for 3 seconds when entering immersive mode Auto-hide after 3 seconds, Reappear when user taps anywhere (using SpatialTapGesture). Buttons should respond to gaze + pinch interaction The Problem: When I add .windowStyle(.plain) to achieve transparent window background for the auto-hide effect, all buttons in the menu become completely unresponsive to gaze + pinch interaction. The buttons only respond to direct finger touch (poking). Without .windowStyle(.plain): Buttons work correctly with gaze + pinch, but I cannot achieve transparent window background for hiding. With .windowStyle(.plain): Window can be transparent, but buttons lose gaze + pinch interaction. Code: App.swift: @main struct MyApp: App { @StateObject private var model = AppModel() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup(id: "MainWindow") { ContentView() .environmentObject(model) } .defaultSize(width: 900, height: 700) .windowResizability(.contentSize) .windowStyle(.plain) // <-- This causes the interaction issue ImmersiveSpace(id: "ImmersiveSpace") { ImmersiveView() .environmentObject(model) } } } ContentView.swift (simplified): struct ContentView: View { @EnvironmentObject var model: AppModel @State private var isMenuVisible: Bool = true var body: some View { VStack { if model.isImmersiveViewActive { if isMenuVisible { // This menu's buttons don't respond to gaze+pinch immersiveControlMenu } } else { mainMenuButtons } } .glassBackgroundEffect() } private var immersiveControlMenu: some View { HStack { Button("Exit") { exitImmersiveSpace() } .buttonStyle(.bordered) // Also tried .plain, same issue } .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } ImmersiveView.swift: struct ImmersiveView: View { @EnvironmentObject var model: AppModel var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Panorama sphere let sphere = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 1000), materials: [material]) content.add(sphere) // Tap detector for menu toggle let tapDetector = Entity() tapDetector.components.set(CollisionComponent(shapes: [.generateSphere(radius: 900)])) tapDetector.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) content.add(tapDetector) } .gesture( SpatialTapGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onEnded { _ in model.shouldShowMenu = true } ) } } Environment: Xcode 26.2 visionOS 26.3 Vision Pro device Questions: Is .windowStyle(.plain) expected to affect button interaction behavior? What is the recommended approach to achieve a transparent/hidden window in immersive mode while maintaining button interactivity? Is there an alternative to .windowStyle(.plain) for hiding window chrome in visionOS? Thank you for any guidance!

Guided Access - Detect when setup (Eyes + Hands) is done
Hello, I am building a kiosk-style app for VisionOS which will be used in Guided Access mode, to be given to various visitors. So each of them will do hands + eyes setup, standard Guided Access thing. I want my experience to auto-start playing content when setup is done. I looked everywhere, but found no way do detect whether setup is complete? Also adding any kind of interface to start the app manually is risky, since buttons etc remain visible an interactable WHILE setup takes place. Delay-based approach also wont work, since setup can be skipped, or failed, or be done quickly, slowly... So it takes between 10 seconds and a few minutes. So the question is - is there any way to get notification, or check some bool or something that will tell me that Hands + Eyes setup in Guided mode is complete (or skipped)? Thanks in advance!

Extending or disabling the 1.5-meter boundary in ImmersiveSpace
I’m currently developing an app for visionOS and working with an ImmersiveSpace. I’ve noticed that the system automatically enforces a safety boundary at approximately 1.5 meters. If the user moves beyond this limit, the content fades out or the system reverts to Passthrough. Is there any way to disable this boundary or extend its radius? This app is currently in the experimental/verification phase, and it is intended to be run on a Vision Pro in Developer Mode. Since the primary goal is to test large-scale spatial interactions during development, I am looking for any way—including developer-specific settings or configurations—to bypass or expand this limit. If there isn't a direct API to change the boundary size, are there any recommended workarounds for testing movement within large environments? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Low-latency live streaming using APMP Wide FoV
Is it possible to achieve sub-second end-to-end latency when displaying live streaming video using APMP (Apple Projected Media Profile) with Wide FoV? APMP supports HLS playback, but my understanding is that standard HLS introduces several seconds of latency. I would like to know whether APMP (especially Wide FoV) supports Low-Latency HLS, or if there are inherent limitations that make sub-second latency impractical. If APMP is not suitable for this use case, are there any recommended alternatives within AVFoundation or related frameworks for rendering wide-FoV live video with very low latency? Thank you for any insights.
