Hey, I'm building an interior design app In Vision OS 2.0. I'm fetching the planes detected by ARKit and I then proceed to add them with an "OcclusionMaterial" to make sure my object are occluded accordingly. However, I'm facing two problems with this: The ground shadows are completely disabled as soon as an occlusion material is added, even if I inset the planes doing the occlusion. I've looked into this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/shadergraph/realitykit/shadow-receiving-occlusion-surface-(realitykit) but when I tried to use it, it behaved exactly as "OcclusionMaterial". The planes are also occluding all windows (mines and the system ones), which is a behavior I'd like to avoid. I only want to occluded the Entity I added. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance

I want to render a 3d/stereoscopic video in an Apple Vision Pro window using RealityKit/RealityView. The video is a left-right stereo. The straight forward approach would be to spawn a quad, and give it a custom Shader Graph material, which has a CameraIndexSwitch. The CameraIndexSwitch chooses between the right texture vs the left texture. https://i.sstatic.net/XawqjNcg.png The issue I have here is that I have to extract the video frames from my AVSampleBufferVideoRenderer. This should work ok, but not if I'm playing FairPlay content. So, my question is, how to render stereo FairPlay videos in a SwiftUI RealityView?

I want a sentence custom hover effect, not a button. I want a hover effect when you look at one sentence out of many sentences. So I searched for reference videos https://youtu.be/DftRTx1oX6E , https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10110/ on apple youtube and visionOS documentation. But I haven't gotten anywhere near my wish feature yet. I respectfully request someone to help me. :)

Here is the code snippets. struct RealityViewTestView: View { @State private var texts: [String] = [] var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in } update: { content, attachments in for text in texts { if let textEntity = attachments.entity(for: text) { textEntity.position.x = Float.random(in: -0.1...0.1) content.add(textEntity) } } } attachments: { ForEach(texts, id: \.self) { text in Attachment(id: text) { Text(text) .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add") { texts.append(String(UUID().uuidString.prefix(6))) } } ToolbarItem { Button("Remove") { texts.remove(at: Int.random(in: 0..<texts.count)) } } } } } struct RealityViewTestView: View { @State private var texts: [String] = [] @State private var entities: [Entity] = [] var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in } update: { content, attachments in // for text in texts { // if let textEntity = attachments.entity(for: text) { // textEntity.position.x = Float.random(in: -0.1...0.1) // content.add(textEntity) // } // } for entity in entities { content.add(entity) } } attachments: { ForEach(texts, id: \.self) { text in Attachment(id: text) { Text(text) .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add") { //texts.append(String(UUID().uuidString.prefix(6))) let m = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .white, isMetallic: false)]) m.position.x = Float.random(in: -0.2...0.2) entities.append(m) } } ToolbarItem { Button("Remove") { //texts.remove(at: Int.random(in: 0..<texts.count)) entities.removeLast() } } } } } About the first code snippet, when I remove an element from the texts, why content can automatically remove the corresponding entity? And about the second code snippet, content do not automatically remove the corresponding entity. I am very curious.

Hello, I checked following documentations. Vision | Apple Developer Documentation Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework - WWDC24 - Videos - Apple Developer I saw Vision Framework is available on visionOS. So I want to know that if it's possible using Vision Framework on visionOS for tracking human and animal body poses. Or are there some limits to use this on visionOS?

I have been digging through the docs and the developer videos, and I have noticed a mention to RealityView having som potential limitations with anchors and world tracking. However, I haven’t been able to locate my answers. Does anyone know (or point me to) if RealityView supports everything ARView does, and if not what are the difference? I was fooling around with RealityView today with a simple plane anchor, and the stability of that anchor didn’t seem to be as steady as I recall ARView being In the past on iPhone. I’m trying to determine if I should be rolling over into RealityView or stay with ARView on this little educational project. I would imagine the answer is to go RealityView, but I want to make sure I’m not setting myself up for failure based on any current limitations For anchors and world data.

Does anyone have any idea if Apple plans to add in UDIM support for its 3D development? It is a real bummer to not have this feature and makes an otherwise clean USD pipeline kinda suck.

In the particle effect of RealityKit, there is a Type: ParticleEmitterComponent.Presets He can invoke certain particle effects in certain systems, but I am interested in learning how to modify these particle entities (such as adjusting the color, the number of particles, the generation range…)?

Dear Apple Engineers, I am working on a project in visionOS and need to implement a curved surface effect for video playback, where the width of the surface can be dynamically adjusted. Specifically, I want the video to be displayed on a curved surface (similar to a scroll unfolding), and the user should be able to adjust the width of this surface. I have the following specific questions: How can I implement a curved surface for video playback and ensure the video content is not stretched or distorted on the surface? How can I create a dynamic curved surface (such as a bending plane) in RealityKit or visionOS, where the width can be adjusted by the user? Is it possible to achieve more complex curved surface effects (such as scroll unfolding or bending) using Shaders or other techniques? Thank you very much for your help!

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?

"Although Xcode generates loading methods for all Reality Composer files in your Xcode project" I do not find this to be true, sadly. Does anyone have any luck or insight on how one can build just a simple MacOS app that will import a scene from a Reality File? The documentation suggests that the simple act of bringing a .Reality File in (What about .realitycomposerpro?) will generate code, but that doesn't seem to happen. The sample code (Spaceship) does not compile for MacOS. I'd really love just the most generic template of an Xcode Project that compiles with a button that pops open a scene., Like the VisionOS default immersive project.

I'm doing a weather app, users can search locations for getting weather, but the problem is, the results only shows locations in my country, not in global. For example, I'm in China, I can't search New York, it just shows nothing. Here's my code: @Observable class SearchPlaceManager: NSObject { var searchText: String = "" let searchCompleter = MKLocalSearchCompleter() var searchResults: [MKLocalSearchCompletion] = [] override init() { super.init() searchCompleter.resultTypes = .address searchCompleter.delegate = self } @MainActor func seachLocation() { if !searchText.isEmpty { searchCompleter.queryFragment = searchText } } } extension SearchPlaceManager: MKLocalSearchCompleterDelegate { func completerDidUpdateResults(_ completer: MKLocalSearchCompleter) { withAnimation { self.searchResults = completer.results } } } Also, I've tried to set searchCompleter.region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 0, longitude: 0), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 180, longitudeDelta: 360) ), but it doesn't work.

Hello All, We're going to do a scene now, kind of like a time travel door. When the user selects the scene, the user passes through the door to show the current scene. The changes in the middle need to be more natural. It's even better if you can walk through an immersive space... There is very little information now. How can I start doing this? Is there any information I can refer to thanks

After I played the audio for the entity the sound was very low and I wanted to adjust the sound size. No api is found. What should I do if let audio = audioResources { entity.playAudio(audio) }

I’m developing an app using RealityKit and RealityView. On newer iPhones, such as the iPhone 15 Pro, Object Occlusion appears to be enabled by default, which causes 3D entities to be hidden behind real-world objects in the scene. However, I need to disable this behavior to ensure proper rendering of my 3D content. This issue does not occur on older devices like the iPhone 13, where the app works as intended. I haven’t been able to find a solution to explicitly disable object occlusion on the newer devices for RealityView. Any guidance or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey, I have Enterprise Access on the account and have added the passthrough capability and the entitlement on the main project and the "Broadcast Upload" extension, too. The broadcast works except it returns a black screen. I am attaching some screenshots below of the entitlement file.

In RealityView, physical components are only applicable to certain solids. How can I simulate the physical effects of water and cloth? enity.components.set(PhysicalComponent)

We have a plane model (basecircle)without physics and rigid body components, and no gestures are implemented.

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): Expected: Red > 0.1 Shader Graph

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?
