Reply to Is AR QuickLook capable of visualizing lines and curve entities of usdz/usda
Visualising edges/lines/curves/points etc is not the use case AR Quick look is intended for... generally this kind of detail is only necessary for CAD tools. AR Quick Look is augmenting the virtual content into real-physical spaces... thats why Physically-based rendering is supported, because Apple want the virtual assets to look as realistic as possible so they blend into the environment with dynamic shadows, real-time environmental reflections and object occlusion etc.

Reply to Documentation about using animation in USDZ
There are some Apple docs on memory constraints for AR Quick Look. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/adding_visual_effects_in_ar_quick_look_and_realitykit A GitHub doc written on compatibility issues with glTF is also useful reference source for certain constraints https://github.com/google/usd_from_gltf#compatibility I have found the best reference for animation capability in AR Quick Look is to use Apple’s Reality Composer app. Which exports both supported Reality & usdz file formats.

Reply to Touch input problems with interactive USDZs exported from Reality Composer and viewed in AR Quick View
Its most likely a collision box interference. The collision boxes in some cases are larger than your visible object. So if you have two objects near each other, its possible the object you are trying to interactively tap is being shielded by the other objects collision box. One way to examine the collision box for your asset - using showPhysics debug option in Reality kit. You could use Swift Playgrounds to build a simple Reality kit app that views your collision box. Unfortunately Reality Composer doesn’t show the collision box when building a scene. It will be nice to see Reality Composer add an option for viewing collision boxes in a scene.

Reply to Is there any way to use RealityKit with Reality Composer in Swift Playgrounds (iPad)?
Yes. Its now possible. I have written a proof-of-concept for pulling usdz & reality files directly from usdzshare.com to Playgrounds App on Ipad. You can just copy and paste the code directly into Playgrounds app & the Reality scene at this location will => https://usdzshare.com/?ug-gallery=photo-detail&photo_id=4148 will be imported straight into your Playground from the web. I'm also working on an api for custom queries. So you could upload your own usdz or reality files to usdzshare.com sharing platforum and build your own test apps in Playgrounds on Ipad.
