Hi, I'm brainstorming ideas for getting dynamic content inside my visionOS app on the Vision Pro. I have some data coming out of a piece of equipment, and reaching a cloud hub (something like IoT Hub on Azure). I want to get that data inside a visionOS app, ideally inside an attachment that is attached to some 3D entity inside my RealityView.

Is something like this possible? Can someone give me some starter points on how I can enable a pipeline like this, and if there are any resources that I could use for reference.

Hey @adityach,

There's a few resources that come to mind. Depending on your use case you might want to reach for one of the following:

A URLSession combined with the FileManager class. The article Downloading files from websites shows how this could be accomplished.
A URLCache and with an appropriate NSURLRequest.CachePolicy can help reduce the amount of network traffic your application needs. The article Accessing cached data goes into more details on the different policies.

Let me know if you have more specific questions,

Michael
