According to the official documentation, the .blur(radius:) modifier could apply gaussian blur to a realityview. However, when applied directly to a RealityView, nothing inside it (neither 2D attachments nor 3D entities) appears to be blurred. Here’s the test code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Above the RealityView") .font(.title) RealityView { content, attachments in if let text = attachments.entity(for: "2dView") { text.position.y = 0.1 content.add(text) } let box = ModelEntity( mesh: .generateBox(size: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: true)] ) content.add(box) } attachments: { Attachment(id: "2dView") { Text("Above the Box") .font(.title) } } .frame(width: 300, height: 300) .border(.blue) .blur(radius: 99) // Has no visual effect Text("Below the RealityView") .font(.subheadline) } .padding() } } My question: How can I make .blur(radius:) visually affect the content rendered in a RealityView? Can you provide a working example that .blur() to visually affect any part of a RealityView? Thanks!

Wondering if this is even possible without using CVImageBuffer and passing each frame as an image which I imagine will be very expensive. Have a PoC of a shader graph that applies a radial zoom effect to an image. In RealityKit I'm passing the image as a resource: if let textureResource = try? await TextureResource(named: "fuji") { let value = MaterialParameters.Value.textureResource(textureResource) try? material.setParameter(name: "MyImage", value: value) model.model?.materials = [material] } Thanks in advance

I noticed that when I drag the menu window in an Immersive View, the entities behind it becomes semi-transparent, and the boundary between virtual and real-world objects is very pronounced. May I ask how does VisionOS implement this effect? Is there any API or technique I can use in my own code to enable the same semi-transparent overlay - even when I am not dragging the menu window?

After creating a ". plist" file in the "Document" folder of the app, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the "FileManager. default. fileExists (atPath: folderURL. path())" code returns true. I checked if the ". plist" file was not found in the "Document" folder of the app. Is this a bug in the VisionOS system

I work on a game where I use timeline animations in Reality Composer Pro. The game runs in an immersive space, but can be paused where I then move the whole level root entity from the immersive space to another RealityView in a Window Group. When the player continues I do it exactly the other way around to move the level root from the window group back to my immersive space RealityView. And it seems like all animations get automatically stopped and restarted when the scene gets changed. The problem is, it does not resume where it stopped before, it completely starts again from where it stopped and therefore, has for example a wrong y offset as visible in the picture. For example in the picture, the yellow sphere loops the following animation: 0 to 100 100 to -100 -100 to 0 If I now pause the game (and basically switch scenes), the previous animation gets stopped and restarted at position y = 100. So now it loops: 100 to 200 200 to 0 0 to 100 I already tried all kind of setups - like: Setting the animations relative to root, parent, local Using behaviors (on Added to Scene, on Notification) And finally even by accessing the availableAnimations directly and saving the playback controller of the animation There I saw, if I manually trigger the following code before switching the scene, everything works as expected: Button("Reset") { animationPlaybackController.time = 0 animationPlaybackController.pause() animationPlaybackController.stop(blendOutDuration: 0.00001) } But if I use time = 0 with .stop() directly, the time = 0 seems to be ignored and I get the same behavior as before that it stops in a wrong y offset, hence my assumption that animations get stopped and invalidated once they change the scene. I tried to call the code manually on ImmersiveSpace.onDisappear, WindowGroup.onAppear and different kind of SceneEvents subscriptions, but unfortunately nothing worked. So am I doing something wrong in general or is there a way to fix this?

I want to display a huge image in RealityView in 3d space on Vision Pro. of course instead of one giant file I'm using a lot of big images. to achieve this, I'm generating multiple planes exactly beside each others and put each image on them. although the planes are exactly beside each others but there is still a white gap between them.(image below) **Does anybody know how to fix this issue? **

I'm working on an iOS app using ARKit and RealityKit where I scan QR codes and want to place 3D models at the exact position of the QR code in the real world. Is it possible to accurately place a 3D model at the exact position of a QR code in AR using ARKit and RealityKit? Specifically, I want the model to appear at the precise location where the QR code is detected, rather than just somewhere in the AR space. If this is possible, could you point me in the right direction or recommend the best approach to achieve this? Thank you for your help!

I have an iOS app that can display a USDZ model downloaded from the Internet (and cached locally) via an ARView. I would like to light that model with an image based light (IBL) also downloaded from the Internet. However, as far as I can tell, ARView can only create an IBL from a resource that has been compiled into the Xcode project and loaded with EnvironmentResource(named:in:) or EnvironmentResource.load(named:in:). Is there a way to create an EnvironmentResource from an HDRI via a file URL to use in ARView in iOS?

Is this behaviour expected? For example, if I'm using let materials = [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: false)] occlusion works normally, but with let materials = [SimpleMaterial(color: .red.withAlphaComponent(0.5), isMetallic: false)] i can see my cube through real-world objects, like tables, columns, etc. I'm getting the same behaviour if using CustomMaterial from shader and applying customMaterial.blending = .opaque and customMaterial.blending = .transparent(opacity: ) respectively

I'm placing sphere at finger tip and updating its position as hand move. Finger joint tracking functions correctly, but I’ve observed noticeable latency in hand tracking updates whenever a UITextView becomes active. This lag happens intermittently during app usage, lasting about 5–10 seconds, after which the latency disappears and the sphere starts following the finger joints immediately. When I open the immersive space for the first time, the profiler shows a large performance spike upto 328%. After that, it stabilizes and runs smoothly. Note: I don’t observe any lag when CPU usage spikes to 300% (upon immersive view load) yet the lag still occurs even when CPU usage remains below 100%. I’m using the following code for hand tracking: private func processHandTrackingUpdates() async { for await update in handTracking.anchorUpdates { let handAnchor = update.anchor if handAnchor.isTracked { switch handAnchor.chirality { case .left: leftHandAnchor = handAnchor updateHandJoints(for: handAnchor, with: leftHandJointEntities) case .right: rightHandAnchor = handAnchor updateHandJoints(for: handAnchor, with: rightHandJointEntities) } } else { switch handAnchor.chirality { case .left: leftHandAnchor = nil hideAllJoints(in: leftHandJointEntities) case .right: rightHandAnchor = nil hideAllJoints(in: rightHandJointEntities) } } await MainActor.run { handTrackingData.processNewHandAnchors( leftHand: self.leftHandAnchor, rightHand: self.rightHandAnchor ) } } } And here’s the function I’m using to update the joint positions: private func updateHandJoints( for handAnchor: HandAnchor, with jointEntities: [HandSkeleton.JointName: Entity] ) { guard handAnchor.isTracked else { hideAllJoints(in: jointEntities) return } // Check if the little finger tip and intermediate base are both tracked. if let tipJoint = handAnchor.handSkeleton?.joint(.littleFingerTip), let intermediateBaseJoint = handAnchor.handSkeleton?.joint(.littleFingerIntermediateTip), tipJoint.isTracked, intermediateBaseJoint.isTracked, let pinkySphere = jointEntities[.littleFingerTip] { // Convert joint transforms to world space. let tipTransform = handAnchor.originFromAnchorTransform * tipJoint.anchorFromJointTransform let intermediateBaseTransform = handAnchor.originFromAnchorTransform * intermediateBaseJoint.anchorFromJointTransform // Extract positions from the transforms. let tipPosition = SIMD3<Float>(tipTransform.columns.3.x, tipTransform.columns.3.y, tipTransform.columns.3.z) let intermediateBasePosition = SIMD3<Float>(intermediateBaseTransform.columns.3.x, intermediateBaseTransform.columns.3.y, intermediateBaseTransform.columns.3.z) // Calculate the midpoint. let midpointPosition = (tipPosition + intermediateBasePosition) / 2.0 // Position the sphere at the midpoint and make it visible. pinkySphere.isEnabled = true pinkySphere.transform.translation = midpointPosition } else { // If either joint is not tracked, hide the sphere. jointEntities[.littleFingerTip]?.isEnabled = false } // Update the positions of all other hand joint spheres. for (jointName, entity) in jointEntities { if jointName == .littleFingerTip { // Already handled the pinky above. continue } guard let joint = handAnchor.handSkeleton?.joint(jointName), joint.isTracked else { entity.isEnabled = false continue } entity.isEnabled = true let jointTransform = handAnchor.originFromAnchorTransform * joint.anchorFromJointTransform entity.transform.translation = SIMD3<Float>(jointTransform.columns.3.x, jointTransform.columns.3.y, jointTransform.columns.3.z) } } I’ve attached both a profiler trace and a video recording from Vision Pro that clearly demonstrate the issue. Profiler: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fDWyGj_fgxud2ngkGH_IVmuH_kO-z0XZ Vision Pro Recordings: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17qo3U9ivwYBsbaSm26fjaOokkJApbkz- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LxTxgudMvWDhOqKVuhc3QaHfY_1x8iA0 Has anyone else experienced this behavior? My thought is that there might be some background calculations happening at the OS level causing this latency. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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

具体表现为：在Unity编辑器中材质显示正常，但部署到Vision Pro真机后部分材质丢失或Shader效果异常（如透明通道失效、光照计算错误等）。此问题影响了开发进度，希望得到技术支持的帮助 Specific results: The materials are displayed normally in the Unity editor, but after being deployed to the Vision Pro real machine, some materials are lost or the Shader effect is abnormal (such as transparent channel failure, antenna calculation error, etc.). This problem has affected the development progress, and I hope to get help from technical support

Hi, I'm trying to place an object in front of AVPlayer that is docked in VideoDockingRegion, but when launched in immersive space, the video passes through the objects placed in front of. How do I make sure these objects are visible? image for reference

Hi Apple Team and Developers, First of all, I’d like to express my appreciation for the incredible results achieved using PhotogrammetrySession. I’ve been developing a portrait scanning app using Object Capture, and in many tests—especially with human models—I’ve found the reconstructed body surfaces are remarkably smooth and clean, often outperforming tools like Metashape and RealityCapture in terms of aesthetic results. However, I’ve encountered some challenges when working with complex areas like long hair overlapping the face. For instance, with female models where strands of hair partially occlude the face, the resulting mesh tends to merge the hair and facial geometry. This leads to distorted or “melted” facial features, likely due to ambiguity in the geometry estimation phase. Feature Suggestion: Would it be possible to allow developers to supply two versions of the input images: • One version (original) for texture generation • A pre-processed version (e.g., contrast-enhanced or CLAHE filtered) to guide mesh reconstruction only This would give us the flexibility to enhance edge features or shadow detail without affecting the final texture appearance. In other photogrammetry pipelines, applying image enhancement selectively before dense reconstruction improves geometry quality in low-contrast areas. Question: Is there any plan to support this kind of two-path workflow in future versions of PhotogrammetrySession? Or perhaps expose more intermediate stages or tunable parameters to developers? Also, any hints on what we can expect from WWDC 2025 regarding improvements to Object Capture or related vision/3D technologies? Thanks again for this powerful API. Looking forward to hearing insights from the team and other developers. Warm regards, KitCheng

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!

Here is the sample project from apple of Object Tracking. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionOS/exploring_object_tracking_with_arkit can we improve it tracking accuracy and tracking when object is moving little faster, so the 3d object that draw still follow it and make it more accurate.

I'm developing a custom gesture-based visionOS project that uses hand tracking with collision detection spheres on fingers to register user interactions through collision components. I'm experiencing a critical occlusion issue where collision detection spheres are intermittently occluded by the background/depth buffer, causing fingers to pass through the 3D model entities without registering interactions. Detailed Description: I have added 3D entities in an immersive scene with collision spheres attached to fingers for detecting user interactions. Each sphere has: CollisionComponent with sphere shape Proper collision masks and groups configured Real-time position updates from hand joint transforms Each entity has: InputTarget components to register collisions The Issue: When users move their fingers to the entity to interact, some collision spheres (particularly on the pinkie and ring fingers) become occluded and pass directly through the 3D model without triggering collision events. Meanwhile, other fingers (like the index finger) continue to work correctly. This appears to be a depth perception/z-buffer issue between the model entity and the hand tracking collision spheres Questions: Is there a recommended approach for maintaining consistent depth ordering between hand-tracking entities and 3D models in immersive spaces to prevent occlusion issues? Should I be using AnchorEntities to anchor the entity to a plane or world position to establish a more stable depth reference? Are there specific RenderingComponent or material settings that could help ensure collision entities maintain their depth priority and don't get occluded? Could this be related to z-fighting when collision spheres and entity geometry occupy similar depth ranges? If so, what's the recommended depth bias approach? Is there a better architectural approach for implementing interactions with custom hand gesture tracking that avoids these depth perception issues? What Would Help: Implementation guidance for ensuring reliable collision detection between hand-tracked entities through custom gestures and 3D models. Best practices for depth management in immersive spaces with custom hand gesture tracking. Sample code demonstrating stable hand-to-object interaction patterns. Information about whether this is a known limitation or if there are specific APIs I should be leveraging This issue is significantly impacting the reliability of our app experience, as users cannot consistently interact with all model components. Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have solved similar depth/occlusion challenges would be greatly appreciated. Additional Context: This is for a productivity-focused application where accuracy and reliability are critical. Thank you for any assistance!

In Reality Composer Pro, why is the Sky Sphere so much larger than the Sky Dome? By my estimate, the Sky Sphere has a radius of 100m, while the Sky only has a radius of only 12m.

I am developing a Unity application for the Apple Vision Pro using PolySpatial and RealityKit integration. The goal is to create a graspable object (for example, a handheld cube) that includes a secondary camera. When the user grabs and moves the object, the secondary camera should render its view to a RenderTexture, which is displayed on a quad attached to the object, simulating a live camera screen. In the Unity Editor, this setup works correctly. The RenderTexture updates in real time, and the quad displays the camera’s view as expected. However, when building and running the application on the Vision Pro, the quad only displays the clear background color of the secondary camera. No scene content appears. The graspable interaction itself works fine: the object can be grabbed and moved as intended. Steps I have taken: Created a new layer (CameraFeed) and assigned the relevant objects to it. Set the secondary camera’s culling mask to render only the CameraFeed layer. Assigned the RenderTexture as the camera’s target texture. Applied the RenderTexture to an Unlit/Texture material on a quad. Confirmed the camera is active and correctly positioned relative to the object. From my research, it appears that once objects are managed by RealityKit through PolySpatial (for example, made graspable), they are no longer rendered through Unity's normal camera pipeline. Only the main XR camera (managed by RealityKit) seems able to see these objects. Secondary Unity cameras cannot render RealityKit-synced content to a RenderTexture. If this is correct, it seems there is currently no way to implement a true live secondary camera feed showing graspable objects on Vision Pro using Unity PolySpatial. My questions are: Is there any official way to enable multiple camera rendering of RealityKit-managed objects through PolySpatial? Are there known workarounds to simulate a live camera feed that still allows objects to be grabbed? Has anyone found alternative design patterns or methods for this kind of interaction? Environment: Unity 6.0 , PolySpatial 2.2.4, Apple Vision OS XR 2.2.4 Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
