I have an immersive space with a RealityKit view which is running an ARKitSession to access main camera frames. This frame is processed with custom computer vision algorithms (and deep learning models). There is a 3D Entity in the RealityKit view which I'm trying to place in the world, but I want to debug my (2D) algorithms in an "attached" view (display images in windows). How to I send/share data or variables between the views (and and spaces)?

Hi! I'm making content using Room Tracking for vision pro these days. So I searched information about it. Here the links I visited. But I could not found the info I wanted to know Apple ARKit Create enhanced spatial computing experiences with ARKit RoomTrackingProvider I wanna know that if it's possible remembering room structure that recognized before and adding contents in certain world anchor in the room space when user entered the room again? For example, a developer can save the room structure, room info (with room ID) and world anchor of the room with Room Tracking feature. After this, the developer can add entities via Xcode and Reality Composer Pro in certain position of the room to show contents to users when users enter the room. So users can see the contents whenever they visit the room. Is this possible? If there are example codes or projects about it, please let me know.

Hi, does anyone know if it is an easy way to determine the distance between floor and ceiling in vision Pro?

Hi! Im making project with Xcode and Reality Composer Pro. I'm trying to play timeline in Reality Composer Pro using codes without setting Behaviors on entities. And I also tried to send notification from Xcode to entities in Reality Composer Pro to play timeline(I already set "OnNotification" with Behaviors component). But it's not working well, and I couldn't figure out any problems. Are there solutions about it?

I'm using hand tracking to detect collisions between fingertips and entities that I have placed in the scene. I'm using the .mixed environment. However, I want to detect when a fingertip touches a real-world object such as a wall. No matter what I try, I can't get the collision to fire. I'm using the SceneReconstructionProvider to give me world meshes, which I use to create ModelEntity objects to which I add a CollisionComponent with the shape of the object. I can render the meshes just fine, but nothing I do seems to allow collisions to work. Surely this is possible, what am I missing?

Hi, I'm currently working on an ARKit project where I need to implement object occlusion on devices that do not have a LiDAR sensor (e.g., iPhone XR, iPhone 11). I used CoreML models like DepthAnythingV2 to create depth maps and DETRResnet50SemanticSegmentationF16P8 to to perform real-time segmentation. But these models are too heavy for devices. Much appreciated on any advice or pointers to resources.

I created an Object & Hand Tracking app based on the sample code released here by Apple. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/exploring_object_tracking_with_arkit The app worked great and everything was fine, but I realized I was coding on Xcode 16 beta 3, so I installed the latest Xcode 16 from the App Store and tested by app there, and it completely crashed. No idea why. Here is the console dyld[1457]: Symbol not found: _$ss13withTaskGroup2of9returning9isolation4bodyq_xm_q_mScA_pSgYiq_ScGyxGzYaXEtYas8SendableRzr0_lF Referenced from: <3AF14FE4-0A5F-381C-9FC5-E2520728FC65> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/F74E88F2-874F-4AF4-9D9A-0EFB51C9B1BD/Hand Tracking.app/Hand Tracking.debug.dylib Expected in: <2F158065-9DC8-33D2-A4BF-CF0C8A32131B> /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Concurrency.dylib It was working perfectly fine on Xcode 16 beta 3, which makes me think it's an Xcode 16 issue, but no idea how to fix this. I also installed Xcode 16.2 beta (the newest beta) but same error. Please help if anyone knows what is wrong!

Hi, I’m working on a portfolio project for Vision Pro these days. I have two projects and each of projects are made with Unity and made with Xcode(using ARKit and RealityKit tracking feature). Is it able to combine these two projects in an app? For example, using the buttons made with SwiftUI in a Reality Composer Pro, jumping to a scene in Unity, and back from a scene in Unity to a scene in Reality Composer Pro in an app.

Hi, currently tinkering with a little shareplay app for the Vision Pro that allows people to facetime and shareplay to play with random 3d models (as well as move them around, which should sync the model positions for everyone in relative space). When the users start their facetime call, then open the immersive space to see the 3d models, the models load in properly in context of the group immersive space's coordinate system, and moving the models reflects the new positions real-time for each participant. The main issue comes if/when users use the digital crown to re-center their view. It appears to re-center the model and view, which is expected. However, it also seems to re-position the model/root entity to match the user's origin. Not sure if this is intentional or not, but this essentially makes it so that it "de-syncs" the model (so me moving the model next to someone does not reflect it 1:1 - it still moves properly, but the new "initial" position after re-centering makes it offset). Is there a potential solution or work-around for this such that re-centering the view doesn't de-sync the model/entity's position? Rough code for my RealityView component is below: RealityView { content, attachments in content.add(appModel.originEntity) appModel.originEntity.addChild(appModel.modelContainerEntity) appModel.setInitialModelPosition() configureGestures(forModel: appModel.modelContainerEntity) configureToolbarAttachment(content: content, attachments: attachments) } update: { content, _ in // I have modified the Apple provided gesture components to // send the app model the new positions/rotations // as well as broadcast the position/rotation to shareplay participants // When user re-centers view, it seems to also re-position the model // so that its origin is at the local user's origin, rather than // the original origin // Can we receive a notification that user has re-centered view? // Or some other work-around? appModel.modelContainerEntity.setPosition(appModel.modelState.position, relativeTo: nil) appModel.modelContainerEntity.setOrientation(.init(appModel.modelState.rotation3d), relativeTo: nil) } attachments: { Attachment(id: "customViewAttachment") { CustomView() } } .installGestures() Please let me know if anything wasn't clear or if more information is needed. Thanks!

Hello Apple Team, Is it possible to change the zoom factor, exposure, white balance and other settings, of an iOS ARKit session? I know how to do it using an AVCaptureSession, however, I can't figure out how to access the AVCaptureDeviceInput of the current AR session. Thanks PS: I'm using ARkit and RealityKit on iOS 17

Hi everyone, I need to synchronize the playback of RealityKit Timelines via SharePlay. To do this I am trying to get the references of the timelines using "AnimationPlaybackController" and "AnimationResource". In my realitykit scene I have configured both an animation (with blender), and a timeline, the animation starts correctly when the realitykit scene starts, the timeline not. Below the code: struct ContentView: View { @State private var subscriptions = [EventSubscription]() @Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel let rootEntity = Entity() @State var testEntity: Entity? @State var testAnimation: AnimationResource? @State var testController: AnimationPlaybackController? init() { CubeComponent.registerComponent() } var body: some View { RealityView { content in content.add(rootEntity) if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Room", in: realityKitContentBundle) { rootEntity.addChild(scene) playAnimations(from: content) } } .gesture(SpatialTapGesture().targetedToAnyEntity() .onEnded({ value in _ = value.entity.applyTapForBehaviors() if let testEntity, let testAnimation { testController = testEntity.playAnimation(testAnimation.repeat()) } }) ) } func playAnimations(from content: RealityViewContent) { subscriptions.append(content.subscribe(to: ComponentEvents.DidAdd.self, componentType: AnimationLibraryComponent.self, { event in let entity = event.entity entity.components[AnimationLibraryComponent.self]?.animations.forEach({ (key, value) in if value.definition is AnimationGroup { if key == "/Room/TestTimeline" { let controller = entity.playAnimation(value.repeat()) testEntity = entity testAnimation = value appModel.syncronizedAnimations[key] = .init(name: key, animationController: controller, entityName: entity.name) } } else { if entity.name == "SphereInteractable" { let controller = entity.playAnimation(value.repeat()) appModel.syncronizedAnimations[key] = .init(name: key, animationController: controller, entityName: entity.name) } } }) })) } } the variables testEntity, testAnimation and testController are for testing purposes only. If I try to start the animations in the playAnimations function, only the animation created via blender starts (the one related to the object "SphereInteractable"), the Timeline starts only if I save a reference and I play it with a tap gesture or with a delay of ! seconds with DispatchQueue.asyncAfter called in the onAppear. is there a better way to handle this? The goal is to have a reference of the AnimationPlaybackController of the timeline, in order to sync the animation via shareplay. Thanks

As you can see, it is a transparent spherical shell model with a ball inside. Everything is normal on the front side, but there are strange mesh triangles on the side and back view. I don't know if this is as expected and what I need to do to remove these strange effects.

I am trying to achieve an effect such that the particles of a particle system are attracted to my hand entity. The hand entity is essentially an AnchorEntity that is tracking my right hand. let particleEmitterEntities = context.entities(matching: particleEmitterQuery, updatingSystemWhen: .rendering) for particleEmitterEntity in particleEmitterEntities { if var particleEmitter = particleEmitterEntity.components[ParticleEmitterComponent.self] { particleEmitter.mainEmitter.attractionCenter = rightHandEntity.position(relativeTo: nil) // trying to get the world space position of the hand // I also tried relative to particleEmitterEntity particleEmitterEntity.components[ParticleEmitterComponent.self] = particleEmitter } else { fatalError("Cannot find particle emitter") } } The particle attraction center doesn't seem to update Another issue I am noticing here that My particle system doesn't show the particle image a lot of times and just renders a placeholder square when I do this, when I comment this code out I get the right particle image. I believe this is due to the number of times this loop runs to update the position of the attraction center. What is the right way to do an effect where the particles are attracted to my hand.

Hi everyone, I’m working on an app for VisionOS that needs to recognize individual rooms in a hallway based on the person the room belongs to (using the name displayed on each office door). Is there any sample code or resource that can guide me in implementing this feature? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, since RealityKit 4 now supports Blend Shapes I was wondering if there are any workflow or tooling recommendations to bake/export them into a USDZ. Are Blender or Cinema4D capable to do that out of the box? Should we look into NVIDIA omniverse (https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/connect/latest/blender/manual.htm) So far this topic seems very sparsely documented and I would appreciate any hints. Thank you!

Hello, I am looking to create a shader to update an entity's rendering. As a basic example say I want to recolour an entity, but leave its original textures showing through: I understand with VisionOS I need to use Reality Composer Pro to create the shader, but I'm lost as how to reference the original colour that I'm trying to update in the node graph. All my attempts appear to completely override the textures in the entity (and its sub-entities) that I want to impact. Also the tutorials / examples I've looked at appear to create materials, not add an effect on top of existing materials. Any hints or pointers? Assuming this is possible, I've been trying to load the material in code, and apply to an entity. But do I need to do this to all child entities, or just the topmost? do { let entity = MyAssets.createModelEntity(.plane) // Loads from bundle and performs config let material = try await ShaderGraphMaterial(named: "/Root/TestMaterial", from: "Test", in: realityKitContentBundle) entity.applyToChildren { $0.components[ModelComponent.self]?.materials = [material] } root.addChild(entity) } catch { fatalError(error.localizedDescription) }

Is it possible to manage the behavior of timeline totally from code? I am exploring the Compose interactive 3D content in Reality Composer Pro sample project after seeing the related video, but the example shows only the use of Behaviors from RCP to activate timelines actions. I was wondering if it is possible to, somehow, retrieve some kind of timeline controller that allows me access to its informations just like the AnimationPlaybackController does with single animations. What I would like to achieve is being able to play/pause/retrieve timestamp from them in order to allow synchronization between different users on SharePlay

I have created a portal and attached it to a wall using the AnchorEntity. However, I am seeking guidance on how to determine the size of the wall so that the portal can fully occupy it. Initially, I attempted to locate relevant information within the demo code, but I encountered difficulties in comprehending certain sections. I would appreciate it if someone could provide a step-by-step explanation or a reference to the appropriate code. Thank you for your assistance.

In the visionOS App, I want to detect whether the user is in the room. My idea is as follows: Check whether there are walls around the user May I ask how to do it? Thanks！

I have been concentrating on developing the visionOS application. While I am currently quite familiar with RealityKit, CompositorServices has also captured my attention. I have not yet acquired knowledge of CompositorServices. Could you please clarify whether it is essential for me to learn CompositorServices? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide insights into the advantages of RealityKit and CompositorServices.
