Is it possible to create a button in my app that will turn on the spatial personas for the user? Currently the only way I know of turning on spatial personas is by selecting the cube icon in the FaceTime window which is quite clunky for people unfamiliar with the Vision Pro's UI. Any help would be appreciated.

When you click the button in the background of three horizontal lines, when the view is about to appear, add buried event statistics, but click the button to close it, it will repeat the view will appear method API, equivalent to the view method repeated execution twice, resulting in incorrect buried event statistics

I am a newby of spatial computing. Here I am learning how to use ARKit to capture the environment texture and apply it on a ModelEntity of RealityKit on Vision Pro. But I do not find a demo of how to use EnvironmentLightEstimationProvider. After checking the documentation, I also have some questions: EnvironmentProbeAnchor.environmentTexture is a MTLTexture, but EnvironmentResource needs a CGImage. How do I translate MTLTexture to CGImage(Forgive me that I do not know much about Metal or other framework, so It will be better if there is a code that I can copy and paste directly) It seems that the EnvironmentProbeAnchor can only get the light information around the device. But what should I do if I want get the light information around the ModelEntity so that I can apply the environment texture on it. It will be better if you can provide a code demo about how to use the new api. Thank you!

Apple published a set of examples for using system gestures to interact with RealityKit entities. I've been using DragGesture a lot in my apps and noticed an issue when using it in an immersive space. When dragging an entity, if I turn my body to face another direction, the dragged entity does not stay relative to my hand. This can lead to situations where the entity is pulled very close to me, or pushed far way, or even ends up behind me. In the examples linked above, there are two versions of how they use drag. handleFixedDrag: This is similar to what I'm doing now. It uses the value from value.gestureValue.translation3D as the basis for the drag handlePivotDrag: This version aims to solve the problem I described above by using value.inputDevicePose3D as the basis of the gesture. I've tried the example from handlePivotDrag, but it has one limitation. Using this version, I can move the entity around me as if it were on the inside of an arc or sphere. However, I can no longer move the entity further or closer. It stays within a similar (though not exact) distance relative to me while I drag. Is there a way to combine these concepts? Ideally, I would like to use a gesture that behaves the same way that visionOS windows do. When we drag windows, I can move them around relative to myself, pull them closer, push them further, all while avoiding the issues described above. Example from handleFixedDrag mutating private func handleFixedDrag(value: EntityTargetValue<DragGesture.Value>) { let state = EntityGestureState.shared guard let entity = state.targetedEntity else { fatalError("Gesture contained no entity") } if !state.isDragging { state.isDragging = true state.dragStartPosition = entity.scenePosition } let translation3D = value.convert(value.gestureValue.translation3D, from: .local, to: .scene) let offset = SIMD3<Float>(x: Float(translation3D.x), y: Float(translation3D.y), z: Float(translation3D.z)) entity.scenePosition = state.dragStartPosition + offset if let initialOrientation = state.initialOrientation { state.targetedEntity?.setOrientation(initialOrientation, relativeTo: nil) } } Example from handlePivotDrag mutating private func handlePivotDrag(value: EntityTargetValue<DragGesture.Value>) { let state = EntityGestureState.shared guard let entity = state.targetedEntity else { fatalError("Gesture contained no entity") } // The transform that the pivot will be moved to. var targetPivotTransform = Transform() // Set the target pivot transform depending on the input source. if let inputDevicePose = value.inputDevicePose3D { // If there is an input device pose, use it for positioning and rotating the pivot. targetPivotTransform.scale = .one targetPivotTransform.translation = value.convert(inputDevicePose.position, from: .local, to: .scene) targetPivotTransform.rotation = value.convert(AffineTransform3D(rotation: inputDevicePose.rotation), from: .local, to: .scene).rotation } else { // If there is not an input device pose, use the location of the drag for positioning the pivot. targetPivotTransform.translation = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: .scene) } if !state.isDragging { // If this drag just started, create the pivot entity. let pivotEntity = Entity() guard let parent = entity.parent else { fatalError("Non-root entity is missing a parent.") } // Add the pivot entity into the scene. parent.addChild(pivotEntity) // Move the pivot entity to the target transform. pivotEntity.move(to: targetPivotTransform, relativeTo: nil) // Add the targeted entity as a child of the pivot without changing the targeted entity's world transform. pivotEntity.addChild(entity, preservingWorldTransform: true) // Store the pivot entity. state.pivotEntity = pivotEntity // Indicate that a drag has started. state.isDragging = true } else { // If this drag is ongoing, move the pivot entity to the target transform. // The animation duration smooths the noise in the target transform across frames. state.pivotEntity?.move(to: targetPivotTransform, relativeTo: nil, duration: 0.2) } if preserveOrientationOnPivotDrag, let initialOrientation = state.initialOrientation { state.targetedEntity?.setOrientation(initialOrientation, relativeTo: nil) } }

I am a newby of spatial computing and I am using ARKit and RealityKit to develop a visionPro app. I want to accomplish such a goal: If the user's hand touchs an object(an entity in RealityView) on the table, it will post a Window. But I do not know how to handle the event "the user's hand touchs the object". Should I use hand tracking feature to do some computing by myself? Or is there some api to use directly? Thank you!

Hi, we would like to create something where you can open multiple volumetric windows and place them in a room, our biggest issue is that we want these windows to be persistent, so when I close and reopen the app, the windows to be in the same position. We can't use immersive spaces because we also want to have the possibility to access the shared space. Is it possible with the current features and capabilities to do that? If yes do you have some advices how can we achieve this? The alternative is if is it possible to open the virtual display in immersive spaces or if we have the possibility to implement our own virtual display.

Hi there, I’m building a workplace experience that requires using virtual desktop, is there a way to launch it in my code, so user doesn’t have to do it manually? Thanks in advance!

I am encountering an issue while using the multiview video demo provided at this link "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/creating-a-multiview-video-playback-experience-in-visionos/". Specifically, when running on versions of visionOS prior to 2.2, navigating back results in a blank screen. Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution? Any advice or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I downloaded a few files from apple developers website, and they are in .reality file format. I wanted to see how they are constructed, but there is no way to open them and look at the content inside (3d model, shader, animation, etc). Is there a way to look at the content of .reality file?

I am developing an ARKit based application that requires plane detection of the tabletop at which the user is seated. Early testing was with an iPhone 8 and iPhone 8+. With those devices, ARKit rapidly detected the plane of the tabletop when it was only 8 to 10 inches away. Using iPhone 15 with the same code, it seems to require me to move the phone more like 15 to 16 inches away before detecting the plane of the table. This is an awkward motion for a user seated at a table. To validate that it was not necessarily a feature of my code, I determined that the same behavior results with Apple's sample AR Interaction application. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, have suggestions to improve the situation?

Following up on my previous question here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/774262 Having solved the clipping problem, I am now trying to overlay some content in front of the RealityView. However, it looks like any content with transparency does not render in front of the RealityView, while opaque views seem to work; placing content with transparency like glassBackgroundEffect() behind the RealityView in a ZStack causes the entire window to flicker. Additionally, my SwiftUI attachment placed in front of the stereoscopic image plane are invisible if the user look at it straight at 90 degrees. However, if the user look at it from increasing angles from the sides, the attachment gradually turns visible again. Are these behaviors expected? What is a recommended approach to overlay content in front of a RealityView? Thanks!

I am developing an visionos app. I load a .usdz file as a Reality Entity(such as a cabbage). And I want such an effect: When I turn on a desk lamp in real world near the Entity, the surface of the Entity will correctly respond to the light in the real world. I want an effect like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/1as01mm/shiny_disco_ball_reflecting_my_room/ I look up the api such as ImageBasedLightComponent andVirtualEnvironmentProbeComponent in RealityKit、EnvironmentLightEstimationProvider in ARKit，but I do not know how to code. Besides, it will be better if the shadow will also respond to the light correctly.

Hello, esteemed tech developer. I am using the Apple Vision Pro to create an AR assist system about the da Vinci Surgical Robot in a medical surgical suite, and would like to capture eye movement data with tester uniformity. Although the Apple Vision Pro has a superb infrared sensor to monitor eye movement status, Apple does not seem to have open access officially. (I'm aware of many existing discussions about this, but I was still wondering if there might be an option, particularly for research labs.)Here's my FB number.FB16603687

Hi, I am creating an ECS. With this ECS I will need to register several DragGesture. Question: Is it possible to define DragGestures in ECS? If yes, how do we do that? If not, what is the best way to do that? Question: Is there a "gesture" method that takes an array of gestures as a parameter? I am interested in any information that can help me, if possible with an example of code. Regards Tof

Hello, I have downloaded and run the sample object tracking app for visionos. Now I'm working on my own objects for tracking. I have made a model using Create ML using images of my object. However, I cannot see how to convert the Create ML output file (xxx.mlmodel) into a reference object like the files in the sample project. is there a tool for converting them? TIA

I am working with MeshAnchors, and I am having troubles getting to the classification of the triangles/faces. This post references the MeshAnchor.Geometry, and that struct does have a property named "classifications", but it is of type GeometrySource. I cannot find any classification information in GeometrySource. Am I missing something there? I think I am looking for something of type MeshAnchor.MeshClassification, but I cannot find any structs with this as a property.

We're developing a VisionOS application, where we would like to do product recognition (like food items). We have enterprise entitlements and therefore also main camera access for VisionOS. We send this live camera frames to a trained CoreML model where we will receive 2D coordinates from the model detection prediction. Now, we would like to create a 3D anchor on the detected items so it can be visible for user. The 3D anchor is going to be the class name of the detected item. How do we transform this 2D coordinate from the model prediction to a 3D anchor?

I'm using Unity 2022.3.56f, with Apple VisionOS App Mode set to 'Virtual Reality - Fully Immersive Space'. It seems that the render resolution of my game in the Apple Vision Pro when I build is well below the native resolution of the AVP displays. I can't see a setting in XR Plug-in Management Apple visionOS options, or in Quality settings, to increase the render resolutions. Is this possible? I tried setting: UnityEngine.XR.XRSettings.eyeTextureResolutionScale= 2.0f For example, but this doesn't seem to do anything to the render resolution in the build.

Hi, I'm developing an app for the Apple Vision Pro. Inside the app the user should be able to load objects from the web into the scene and then be able to move them around (dragging and rotating) via gestures. My question: I'm working with RealityKit and use RealityView.. I have no issues loading in one object and making it interactive by adding gestures to the entire RealityView via the .gestures() function. Also I succeeded in loading multiple objects into the scene. My problem is that I can't figure out how to add my gestures to multiple objects independently. I can't use Reality composer since I'm loading the objects dynamically into the scene. Using .gestures() doesn't work for multiple objects since every gesture needs to be targeted to a specific entity but I have multiple entities. I also tried defining a GestureComponent and adding it to every newly loaded entity but that doesn't seem to work as nothing happens, even though my gesture is targeted to every entity having my GestureComponent. I only found solutions that are not usable on Visionos / RealityView like installGestures. Also I tried following this guide: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/transforming-realitykit-entities-with-gestures But I feel like there are things missing and contradictory, like a extension of RealityView is mentioned but not shown and the guide states that we don't need to store the translation values for every entity and therefore creates a EntityGestureState.swift file to store these values but then it's not used and a GestureStateComponent is used instead that was never mentioned and contradicts what was just said about not storing values per entity because a new instance of it is created for every entity. Nevermind, following the guide didn't lead me to a working solution.

Using Unity to develop VisionOS program, pressing the right knob of VisionPro during use will exit the Unity space and destroy the model in the space. The model in the space has been disconnected from the SwiftUI interface. After clicking the right knob, return to the system main interface, and then click the right knob again to return to the inside of the program. However, Unity space cannot be restored, and calling the discisWindow method on the SwiftUI interface has no effect, so the interface cannot be destroyed. Is there any solution??
