I use a AVplayer in a window view, I found that when I move the window to different positions, the default behavior is that the sound will change according to the window position. However, in some cases, I don't need this default behavior. I hope the sound doesn't change.

Hi,
We have been experimenting with VisionOS and we are in need to query the field of view values for each eye of the device. We are currently using drawable.views[0].tangents and drawable.views[1].tangents respectively which is labeled as 'Depreceated' . We wonder is there an alternative function for obrtaining FOVs since we had no luck to calcuate them out of the projection matrix we obtain from drawables.
Thanks
Hello!
https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/762763
I read this thread, and this is similar to what I'm trying to do.
I have two entities in the scene, "HandTrackingEntity", "HandScanner".
"HandTrackingEntity": I put Anchoring Component, Collision Component (Trigger) here.
"HandScanner": I put Behaviors Component(OnCollision), and Collision Component here.
Here is the pictures how I set the components.
and I set physicsSimulation property to .none.
I was expecting that Timeline will be played when I put my hand(with HandTrackingEntity) on "HandScanner" entity. But it didn't work.
Am I missing some steps? And I need sample codes to understand how to apply 'physicsSimulation' property. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know about it.

Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble with image anchoring when working on a project in Reality Composer and Reality Composer Pro. Here’s the issue:
1. What I’m Trying to Achieve:
I want to create an AR scene where an object anchors to an image I provide. I don't want to create an app for this but just use the USDZ File the Scene creates. The USDZ File then should be viewable via the various integrations of AR Quick Look across the Apple Ecosystem. The image anchoring works perfectly when I preview the scene inside Reality Composer using AR mode.
2. The Problem:
When I export the project (tried both USDZ and Reality formats) and open it on my iPhone using the Files app (which uses AR Quick Look), the image anchoring no longer works. The object doesn’t anchor to the provided image as expected. It just anchors to the first plane it recognizes and not the image.
3. What I’ve Tried:
Exporting the scene in USDZ format.
Exporting the scene in Reality format.
Both formats result in the same issue: no image anchoring outside of the Reality Composer environment.
Trying different images but all resulting in same manor that the image anchoring is not working
Tried different iOS Version but resulting in the same issue
4. Current Setup:
Reality Composer Pro version: 2.0
iPhone model: iPhone 13 Pro
iOS version: 18.1.
5. What I Need Help With:
Is there a way to ensure image anchoring works in exported files when opened via AR Quick Look?
Do I need to configure something specific during the export process?
Are there limitations in AR Quick Look that prevent image anchoring from functioning correctly?
Do i need to create an app to make this work?
I’d appreciate any advice or insights from the community. If anyone has experience with similar issues or knows of a workaround, please let me know!
Thanks in advance, Mav

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a project in Reality Composer Pro, and I’ve encountered an issue with vertex animations. Here’s what I’ve done:
I created a model in Blender, which includes two animations:
One that scales the vertices of the model.
Another that moves the model's position.
I imported both animations into Reality Composer Pro, and the position animation works fine, but the vertex scaling animation does not seem to work.
What I’m Trying to Achieve:
I want the vertex scaling animation to play correctly in Reality Composer Pro alongside the movement animation.
Problem:
The position animation works as expected, but the vertex scaling animation does not work when applied in Reality Composer Pro.
I have checked the vertex scaling animation in other software, and it works fine there. The issue seems to be specific to Reality Composer Pro.
Is vertex animation scaling supported in Reality Composer Pro? If so, what might be causing this issue? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
the following documentation tells me that the CameraFrame.Sample.Parameters.extrinsics is of type simd_float4x4, great!
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/cameraframe/sample/parameters/4443449-extrinsics
I have read in the answer of another post that this extrinsics represents the pose of the physical camera relative to the device anchor.
Did I understand correctly that the device anchor is where the scene is rendered from onto the user's display?
What is the coordinate system in which this offset is defined, which axis is left, which one is up, which one is forward?
The last column of the extrinsics seems to define a translation of approximately 2 cm along the x axis, -2cm along the y axis and -5 cm along the z axis. I tried to measure the physical distance between the main left and right cameras in order to find out if it's rather 2cm or 5 cm from the "middle", it looks more like 5, so I assume that the z axis is looking towards the right (from the user's perspective). Is that so? For x and y, I assume that the physical camera is approximately 2 cm to the front of the user and 2cm to the bottom, which of x and y is horizontal, which on vertical?
How is the camera image indexed, is it row-major and is the origin on the top left?
I am looking forward to learning about all the details on these extrinsics in order to make use of it.
I'm developing an app in which I need to render pictures and contain some models in a RealityView. I want to set up a camera, intercept virtual content through the camera, and save it as an image.

Hi,
When closing a WindowGroup, I want to show a prompt, and only dismiss the window when the user confirms.
How to do it?
WindowGroup(id: "A") {
ContentView()
}
Reality Composer Pro question related to custom components
My custom component defines some properties to edit in RCP. Simple ones work find, but SIMD3 and SIMD2 do not. I'd expect to see default values but instead I get this 0s. If I try to run this the scene doesn't load. Once I enter some values it does and build and run again it works fine.
More generally, does Apple have documentation on creating properties for components? The only examples I've seen show simple strings and floats. There are no details about vectors, conditional options, grouping properties, etc.
public struct EntitySpawnerComponent: Component, Codable {
public enum SpawnShape: String, Codable {
case domeUpper
case domeLower
case sphere
case box
case plane
case circle
}
// These prooerties get their default values in RCP
/// The number of clones to create
public var Copies: Int = 12
/// The shape to spawn entities in
public var SpawnShape: SpawnShape = .domeUpper
/// Radius for spherical shapes (dome, sphere, circle)
public var Radius: Float = 5.0
// These properties DO NOT get their default values in RCP. The all show 0
/// Dimensions for box spawning (width, height, depth)
public var BoxDimensions: SIMD3<Float> = SIMD3(2.0, 2.0, 2.0)
/// Dimensions for plane spawning (width, depth)
public var PlaneDimensions: SIMD2<Float> = SIMD2(2.0, 2.0)
/// Track if we've already spawned copies
public var HasSpawned: Bool = false
public init() {
}
}
Hi, I added DockingRegion to my scene from Reality Composer Pro, and I am able to load up the scene, but DockingRegion is getting ignored and the scene is getting rendered with no change in AVPlayerViewController window. As it can be seen in Reality Composer Pro screenshot below, I set the width of the player to 666, and moved it to the back by 300cm, but the actual result does not reflect the position I set on Reality Composer Pro.
Is there anything else I should do other than loading up the Entity and adding to RealityView? Specifically, do I have to get the DockingRegion within the usda file and somehow enable it?
i have normal application flow and at one place i have to open immesive space for image seen 360 view but currently when ever i run application it start with immersive space my app normal flow is not start.What the isssue here?
How can I guide users to set their preferred language in visionOS? At this point, the behavior seems to be different from that of iOS.
I have a visionOS app using immersive space with RealityView. The app adds RealityKit entities to the app's Scene instance, and uses raycast to find CollisionCastHits.
I want now to write a unit test to check if the app finds the right hits.
To do so, I have to access the Scene instance to add entities, and to check if they are hit by scene.raycast.
But how can I access the scene instance?
I can access it e.g. after creating the RealityView via its content parameter, or via @Environment(\.realityKitScene). But this seems not to be possible in a unit test.
I tried the following test function:
@MainActor @Test func test() async throws {
var scene: RealityKit.Scene?
await withCheckedContinuation { continuation in
_ = RealityView(make: { content in
print("make")
let entity = Entity()
content.add(entity)
scene = entity.scene
continuation.resume()
})
}
#expect(scene != nil)
}
But this logs
◇ Test test() started.
SWIFT TASK CONTINUATION MISUSE: test() leaked its continuation!
The reason is apparently that the make closure of RealityView is only called when SwiftUI calls it within the body of a SwiftUI View.
So, is it possible at all to access the app's scene i a unit test?
When I try to open Immersive space I got error like below:-
HALC_ProxyIOContext::IOWorkLoop: skipping cycle due to overload
How to solve it any idea?
This issue has been since visionOS 1 unless that is how it is supposed to work. As you can see in the screen capture the shadows from the top box are shown on all 3 boxes below.
This is a screen capture in composer pro but the same thing happens in the Vision Pro.
Is there any way to stop this behavior and just have shadows on the first object below the object that is casting the shadows ?
if I set UIApplicationPreferredDefaultSceneSessionRole to UISceneSessionRoleImmersiveSpaceApplication then my Immersive Space for image is working fine but when I try with UIWindowSceneSessionRoleApplication this option and try to open Immersive space on particular sub screen then its not showing image in immersive space(Immersive space not open).
Any one have idea what the issue.

We're developing a VisionOS application, where we would like to do product recognition (like food items).
We have enterprise entitlements and therefore also main camera access for VisionOS. We send this live camera frames to a trained CoreML model where we will receive 2D coordinates from the model detection prediction.
Now, we would like to create a 3D anchor on the detected items so it can be visible for user. The 3D anchor is going to be the class name of the detected item.
How do we transform this 2D coordinate from the model prediction to a 3D anchor?
Hey there, I am working on an app that displays environmental data using PNG color channels to represent data ranges, which gets overlayed on a map. The sampled values aren't what I'm expecting though... for example an RGB value of 0x7f0000 (R = 0.5, G = 0, B = 0) would be seen as 0.21, 0, 0 in the shader. This basically makes it unusable if I'm trying to show scientific data... I'm half wondering if I am completely misunderstanding how sampling works in RealityKit / RealityComposerPro. Anybody have any idea why it works like this?
Actual result (chart labels added in photoshop):

We have a plane model (basecircle)without physics and rigid body components, and no gestures are implemented. However, when tapped, the model unexpectedly falls into infinity.
func fetchEnvResource(){
var simpleMaterial = SimpleMaterial()
env = try! Entity.loadModel(named: "bgMain5")
env.position += [0,0,-10]
envTexture = PhysicallyBasedMaterial()
envTextureUnlit = UnlitMaterial()
envTexture.baseColor = .init(texture: .init(try! .load(named: "bgMain5")))
envTextureUnlit.color = .init(texture: .init(try! .load(named: "bgMain5")))
env.isEnabled = false
let anchor = AnchorEntity(world: [0, 0, -3])
baseCircle = ModelEntity(mesh: .generatePlane(width: 1.5, depth: 1.5, cornerRadius: 0.75), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .green, isMetallic: false)])
env.components.set(InputTargetComponent())
baseMaterial = PhysicallyBasedMaterial()
baseMaterialUnlit = UnlitMaterial()
baseMaterial.baseColor = .init(texture: .init(try! .load(named: "groundTexture")))
baseMaterial.baseColor.tint = UIColor(white: 1.0, alpha: CGFloat(textureOpacity))
baseCircle.model?.materials = [baseMaterial]
baseCircle.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: false)
baseCircle.components.set(InputTargetComponent())
baseCircle.components[PhysicsBodyComponent.self] = .init(PhysicsBodyComponent(massProperties: .default, mode: .static))
baseCircle.physicsBody = PhysicsBodyComponent(
mode: .kinematic
)
anchorEntity.addChild(baseCircle)
baseCircle.position = [0,0,-3]
baseCircle.isEnabled = false
let cylinder = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateCylinder(height: 0.2, radius: 0.5), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, isMetallic: false)])
cylinder.position = [0,-0.1,0]
cylinder.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: false)
cylinder.components[PhysicsBodyComponent.self] = .init(PhysicsBodyComponent(massProperties: .default, mode: .static))
cylinder.physicsBody = nil
cylinder.scale = [500, 100, 100]
anchor.addChild(cylinder)
}
The plane model in this issue is the BaseCircle. Any suggestions on how to solve this or potential fixes would be greatly appreciated
In RealityView, physical components are only applicable to certain solids. How can I simulate the physical effects of water and cloth?
