I would like to code some RealityViews to run on my Mac first (and then incorporate them in a visionOS project) so that my code/test loop is faster, but I have not been able to find a simple example that supports Mac. Is it possible to have volumes on a Mac? Is there support for using a game controller to move around the RealityView, like in the visionOS simulator?

Has there been an adjustment in the maximum number of DrawableQueues that can be swapped for textures in VisionOS 2? Or an adjustment in the total amount of RAM allowed in a scene? I have been having a difficult time getting more than one DrawableQueue to appear when it worked fine in VisionOS 1.x.

When using .mov video files for creating video materials in RealityKit, they display correctly on my modelEntity. However, when I tried using a video file in the .mp4 format, I only get a solid black material. Does AVKit support playing .mp4 video files on visionOS 1.2?

I followed the WWDC video to learn Sharplay. I understood the first creation of seats, but I couldn't learn some of the following content very well, so I hope you can give me a list code. The contents are as follows: I have already taken a seat. struct TeamSelectionTemplate: SpatialTemplate { let elements: [any SpatialTemplateElement] = [ .seat(position: .app.offsetBy(x: 0, z: 4)), .seat(position: .app.offsetBy(x: 1, z: 4)), .seat(position: .app.offsetBy(x: -1, z: 4)), .seat(position: .app.offsetBy(x: 2, z: 4)), .seat(position: .app.offsetBy(x: -2, z: 4)), ] } I hope you can give me a SharePlay Button. After pressing it, it will assign all users in Facetime to a seat with elements quantified in TeamSelectionTemplate. Thank you very much.

How to display the user's own persona in a view

Can a TabletopKit game with a variable number of players also have a variable number of AI, each playing a specific position? For example, a game that can handle 3-7 players, being set up for a specific game where 4 of the players are real, and an AI plays 2 other locations? The Kit appears to be setup to only be able to handle real (human) players. Thank you!

Does the current version of TabletopKit support having two or more game players to be at the same physical location? In these cases, the players would not want to see a Facetime persona around the table but instead should be able to see the physical player. Any other remote players would be able to see the personas of those players since they are not at that location. There are a couple of issues in this scenario (shared position of the board, players' location around the table, etc.), but they should be solvable. Thank you!

With quite some excitement I read about visionOS 2's new feature to automatically turn regular 2D photos into spatial photos, using machine learning. It's briefly mentioned in this WWDC video: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10166 My question is: Can developers use this feature via an API, so we can turn any image into a spatial image, even if it is not in the device photo library? We would like to download an image from our server, convert it on the visionPro on-the-fly and display it as a spatial photo.

In the example https://developer.apple.com/documentation/imageio/writing-spatial-photos, we see that for each image encoded with the photo we include the following information: kCGImagePropertyGroups: [ kCGImagePropertyGroupIndex: 0, kCGImagePropertyGroupType: kCGImagePropertyGroupTypeStereoPair, (isLeft ? kCGImagePropertyGroupImageIsLeftImage : kCGImagePropertyGroupImageIsRightImage): true, kCGImagePropertyGroupImageDisparityAdjustment: encodedDisparityAdjustment ], Which will identify which image is left, and which is right, also information about group type = stereo pair. Now, how do you read those back? I tried to implement a reading simply with CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex, and that did not work, getting back "No property groups found." func tryToReadThose() { guard let imageData = try? Data(contentsOf: outputImageURL), let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(imageData as NSData, nil) else { print("cannot read") return } for i in 0..<CGImageSourceGetCount(source) { guard let imageProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source, i, nil) as? [String: Any] else { print("cannot read options") continue } if let propertyGroups = imageProperties[String(kCGImagePropertyGroups)] as? [Any] { // Process the property groups as needed print(propertyGroups) } else { print("No property groups found.") } //print(imageProperties) } } I assume maybe CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex expects something as a 3rd parameter. But in the https://developer.apple.com/documentation/imageio/cgimagesource "Specifying the Read Options" I don't see anything related to that.

I've been trying to get the drag gesture up and running so I can move my 3D model around in my immersive space, but for some reason I am not able to move it around. The model shows up in my visionOS 1.0 Simulator, but I can't seem to get it to move around. Would love some help with this and some resources too that would be helpful. Here's a snippet of my Reality View code import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent struct GearRealityView: View { static var modelEntity = Entity() var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let model = try? await Entity(named: "LandingGear", in: realityKitContentBundle) { GearRealityView.modelEntity = model content.add(model) } }.gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(GearRealityView.modelEntity) .onChanged({ value in GearRealityView.modelEntity.position = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: GearRealityView.modelEntity.parent!) }) ) } }

I downloaded Xcode 16 and updated my macOS to 15, but I keep getting this error when trying to build the game in simulator or in device [xrsimulator] Exception thrown: The operation couldn’t be completed. (realitytool.RKAssetsCompiler.RKAssetsCompilerError error 3.)

I was wondering of anyone had guidance on how to “livestream“ MV-HEVC content. More specifically, I have a left and right eye view for stereoscopic content (perhaps, for example, the views were taken from a stereoscopic video being passed through an AVPlayer). I know, based on sample code, that I can convert the stereoscopic video into a MV-HEVC file using AVAssetWriter. However, how would I take the stereoscopic video and encode it, in realtime, to a stream that could then leverage HLS Tools to deliver to clients? Is AVFoundation capable of this directly? Or is there an API within VideoToolbox that can help with this?

Posting here as I did not see a section for Dev Documentation portal Using the search box in the documentation portal I searched for "frustum" hoping to find any APIs that game me control over frustum culling. https://developer.apple.com/search/?q=frustum&type=Documentation The search came up empty for hits in RealityKit. Hours later I found the boundsMargin API which explains how it affect frustum culling. I went back and tried the search again to verify the documentation search result were incomplete. site:developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit frustum on google worked fine. Fixing this can save everyone time and stress.

My project has integrated SwiftUI panel , I noticed that when I open the SwiftUI interface, it always appears in front of me and stays at a certain distance. I want it to spawn on my left side instead, and with some rotation. How can I set the position in the code to achieve this?

Thank you again for pushing the web forward in VisionOS 2, super exciting! The latest WWDC24 video touched on VR experiences for VisionOS2.0 using WebXR, however there was no mention of passthrough AR experiences. Samples such as this one are not supported: https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr-samples/immersive-ar-session.html In Settings > Safari, there is a feature flag for the AR WebXR module, but enabling it did not seem to change anything. Is this the expected behavior at this time? Any developer preview(s) we could try?

Is there a way to provide CLHeading in visionOS so I can more accurately understand the direction in which a user is facing?

Hello everyone, Super exciting stuff released this year! I was playing around with the Metal passthrough sample code (see: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/compositorservices/interacting_with_virtual_content_blended_with_passthrough) ... and noticed that the upperLimbVisibility set to .automatic does not seem to work and my hand is always on top. How to reproduce: Draw something Position your hand behind the brush stroke Notice that your hands are always rendered on top Taking a GPU frame capture reveals that the depth is correctly written. Xcode: Version 16.0 beta (16A5171c) VisionOS: visionOS 2.0 (22N5252n)

I have an input texture in a ShaderGraphMaterial. I use .replace(withDrawables:) to replace the texture with a drawable queue. When I present drawables to this queue, nothing happens in VisionOS 2. The drawables are not presented, I can't get any more via nextDrawable() because the unpresented ones are holding things up. This is with both bgra8Unorm_srgb and rgba16float formats. I have confirmed the material applied to my object has the modified texture resources on them. It was working in VisionOS 1.2. What changed in VisionOS 2 to cause this?

I am getting the error "Initializing hosting entity without a context" in the console when I build and run my game in XCode 16.0 beta, targeting Vision Pro OS 2.0 (22N5252n). Not sure where the error is originating.

Hello friends! I am looking into a use case where I want to add an animated avatars into a RealityView. I am looking to use a third party package but have not found any that have good iOS or visionOS support. Has anyone come across a package for this that I could look into?
