The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/designing-realitykit-content-with-reality-composer-pro states: Reality Composer Pro treats your imported assets as read-only. This is a huge obstacle for me, as I need to do multiple adjustments to the scene. I somehow managed to actually import one of my assets into the scene and can manipulate it directly, but now I can't figure out how I did this. As I have to prepare further assets and would like to do this directly in Reality Composer Pro, I'm looking for a way to actually load them into the scene. Any idea how this can be done?

I have been referencing the Object Tracking Tutorial from WWDC 2024 on Vision OS, how Create ML is used to create a reference object, and we can track them in the ARSession. I am looking forward to building this feature on an AR app for iPhone, I am using iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have created couple of reference objects from the Create ML.

Hi, Could anyone share some insights on how to get and track the 3D coordinates of real objects in the environment in playgrounds? I searched for some resources and noticed ARKit, Reality may be helpful but not sure how to do it.

In the DestinationVideo demo, the onAppear in UpNextView is triggered again when it is closed, but I only want it to be triggered once. How can I achieve this? Alternatively, I would like to capture the button click events in the player menu, as shown in the screenshot below.

I am currently developing a game that runs on VisionOS using RealityKit and Swift. I have a question regarding particle emitters. It seems that there is a sorting order (render queue) between particle emitters themselves, but there doesn’t appear to be a render queue between particle emitters and regular model entities. If such a feature exists, could you please provide a simple example? Thank you!

I am considering adding finger pad haptics (Data flow for haptic feedback is directed from the AVP to the fingers, not vice versa). Simple piezos wired to a wrist connection holding the driver/battery. But I'm concerned it will impact the hand tracking. Any guidance regarding gloves and/or the size of any peripherals attached to fingers? Or, if anyone has another (inexpensive) low profile option on the market please LMK. Thanks

I'm seeking detailed information about the rotation matrix of the iPhone's front-facing (selfie) camera when using ARKit. Specifically, I need to understand: The exact rotation matrix applied to the front-facing camera's output in ARKit. Whether this matrix is consistent across all iPhone models or if there are variations. If there are any transformations applied to align the camera's coordinate system with the device's orientation, particularly in portrait mode. How this rotation matrix relates to the transform property of `ARFrame.camera

Hi, I am trying to update what entities are visible in my RealityView. After the SwiftData set is updated, I have to restart the app for it to appear in the RealityView. Also, the RealityView does not close when I move to a different tab. It keeps everything on and tracking, leaving the model in the same location I left it. import SwiftUI import RealityKit import MountainLake import SwiftData struct RealityLakeView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var context @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { RealityView { content in print("View Loaded") let lakeScene = try? await Entity(named: "Lake", in: mountainLakeBundle) let anchor = AnchorEntity(.plane(.horizontal, classification: .any, minimumBounds: SIMD2<Float>(0.2, 0.2))) @MainActor func addEntity(name: String) { if let lakeEntity = lakeScene?.findEntity(named: name) { // Add the Cube_1 entity to the RealityView anchor.addChild(lakeEntity) } else { print(name + "entity not found in the Lake scene.") } } addEntity(name: "Island") for item in items { if(item.enabled) { addEntity(name: item.value) } } // Add the horizontal plane anchor to the scene content.add(anchor) content.camera = .spatialTracking } placeholder: { ProgressView() } .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) } } #Preview { RealityLakeView() }

In my VisionPro app, I'm facing a problem with loading USDZ models from a RealityKitBundle package, created using Reality Composer Pro. It was working fine until I added more models to the package. As I added more models with large textures in the project, the app started to show them with texturing problems. So, when I load the models from the RealityView using Entity(named:in), the mesh loads correctly, but all black, with no textures, as below: However, when I load the same USDZ directly from the main bundle, using ModelEntity(named:in), it loads fine. I know that large textures can cause memory issues, but when talking about one single model, I know that it's not enough to cause a memory overflow in the VisionPro. This USDZ model is about 40MB with something around 800MB of texture memory (from the RealityComposerPro Statistic tab). I've built experiences in VisionPro with much heavier models, and they do present the same texture issues, but only after there's more than 3 huge models enabled in the Reality scene. But that's not the case. The un-textured model appears right from the beginning, so it seems to me that's not a runtime issue in the device, but rather some issue in the packaging process from RealityComposerPro to XCode to the Device, am I correct? I'm also using a simple Mac Mini with M2 but only 8MB of RAM. Maybe that's the issue? As I still want to use RealityComposerPro to build more dev-friendly and interesting applications, I'd really appreciate some guidance here! Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am currently developing a Vision Pro VR application with Unreal Engine 5.5. Is it possible to interact with objects (grabbing, clicking on buttons)? I cannot find any information on this. Thank you.

Regarding the Apple Vision Pro, is there a possibility to get a kind of rental device or leasing device from Apple? Background: I'm a fresh VisionOS dev. I have a low budget. I'm living in Japan. That means Vision Pro is roughly 150% the USD price. Regards

There is a flickering occurring on 3D assets when switching immersive spaces, which is not the nicest user experience. The flickering does occur either when loading the scenes directly from the RealityKitContent package, or from memory (pre-loaded assets). Since we cannot upload a video illustrating the undesirable behaviour, I have to describe how to setup the project for you to observe it. To replicate the issue, follow these steps: Create a new visionOS app using Xcode template, see image. Configure the project to launch directly into an immersive space (set Preferred Default Scene Session Role to Immersive Space Application Session Role in Info.plist), see image. Replace all swift files with those you will find in the attached texts. In the RealityKitContent package, create a scene named YellowSpheres as illustrated below. In the RealityKitContent package, create a scene named RedSpheres as illustrated below. Launch the app in debug mode via Xcode and onto the AVP device or simulator Continuously switch immersive spaces by pressing on buttons Show RedSpheres and Show YellowSpheres. Observe the 3d assets flicker upon opening of the immersive spaces. AppModel RedSpheresImmersiveView YellowSpheresImmersiveView TestFlickeringBetweenImmersiveSpacesApp

I’ve updated to iOS 18.1 public beta when it released and I got the problem when I was in public beta 4 to rc and the problem never fixed with the time limit when I ask for more time it never give me more time it’s just says waiting for parent approval I have this problem until ios 18.1 RC can u fix it I’m on iPhone 11 pro max

Using a 360 image that I have taken with 72MP with a Insta360 X3 I would like to add those images into my VisionPro and see them surrounding me completely as we expect of a 360 image. I was able to do by performing the described on some tutorial. The problem is the quality. On my 2D window the image looks with great quality. I will still write down the code: struct ImmersiveView: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) var appModel var body: some View { RealityView { content in content.add(createImmersivePicture(imageName: appModel.activeSpace)) } } func createImmersivePicture(imageName: String) -> Entity { let sphereRadius: Float = 1000 let modelEntity = Entity() let texture = try? TextureResource.load(named: imageName, options: .init(semantic: .raw, compression: .none)) var material = UnlitMaterial() material.color = .init(texture: .init(texture!)) modelEntity.components.set( ModelComponent( mesh: .generateSphere( radius: sphereRadius ), materials: [material] ) ) modelEntity.scale = .init(x: -1, y: 1, z: 1) modelEntity.transform.translation += SIMD3<Float>(0.0, 10.0, 0.0) return modelEntity } } Since the quality is a problem. I thought about reducing the radius of the sphere or decreasing the scale. On both cases, nothing changes. I have tried: modelEntity.scale = .init(x: -0.5, y: 0.5, z: 0.5) And also let sphereRadius: Float = 2000, let sphereRadius: Float = 500, but nothing is changed. I also get the warning: IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 properties: { IOSurfaceAddress = 4651830624; IOSurfaceAllocSize = 35478941; IOSurfaceCacheMode = 0; IOSurfaceMapCacheAttribute = 1; IOSurfaceName = CMPhoto; IOSurfacePixelFormat = 1246774599; } IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 property: IOSurfaceCacheMode IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 property: IOSurfacePixelFormat IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 property: IOSurfaceMapCacheAttribute IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 property: IOSurfaceAddress IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 property: IOSurfaceAllocSize IOSurface creation failed: e00002c2 parentID: 00000000 property: IOSurfaceName Is there anything I can do to reduce the radius or just to improve the quality itself?

In some cases, we will put the Apple Vision Pro back on for a short period of time after taking it off, such as less than 1 minute, and want to keep it activte when we take it off so that it can continue to work seamlessly when we put it on again. The current Apple Vision Pro turns off the display and goes to sleep whenever it is been taken off. This feature is also explained in the user guide, to save power, for safety, etc. However, we want a seamless experience! Is it possible to have a screen saver like macOS or iOS, where we can set our own delay time to go sleep? Or is there any API that can be called to prevent going to sleep?

Now I'm developing a 3D motion capture app by using ARKit. So I tested this sample code, but in iOS18, hand's and leg's orientations seems to be wrong. Forrowing image is sample app's screen captures in iOS17 and iOS18.

This might be a very silly question, anyway I tried many ways and didn't find a solution: My Mac mini M4 is basic version which only has 16GB memory, it is very shy for developing Vision Pro application and testing with the simulator (CleanMacX always warning me low memory), I want to debug and test the application directly on Vision Pro (+ my app need both two hands gestures which simulator might not support) in stead of simulator, is there any proper instructions on how I test/debug/run the App on VP device directly instead of on simulator in favor of speed?

Hope to achieve stable transmission And the colors are different. The colors in the glasses are not consistent with the colors projected on the screen.

Hi, I'm working with CameraFrameProvider from Enterprise API. Is it always capped at 30fps, or is there something I can switch to get more? I assume it is capped at 30, so let me cram in additional question here :). If I'd get a developer strap and attach an external camera capable of doing >30fps, will I get the full stream, or some other limitation will kick in?
