Hello, I'm adding a CollisionComponent to an entity in RealityView. CollisionComponent requires that a Mesh must be provided as a reference for collision detection. However, in order to achieve more accurate detection, I hope that this Mesh resource is a geometric shape of a USDZ model. Is there any way to make it happen? Thank you!

With Xcode 26, loading ressources with RealityKit is extremely slow. Here my project takes almost 50 seconds to load. I also get multiple Hang detected messages in the console: When I uncheck "Debug executable" in the schema, the same project loads in 2 seconds. I'm using RealityKit asynchronous loading: private static func loadFromRealityComposerPro( named entityName: String, fromSceneNamed sceneName: String ) async -> Entity? { var entity: Entity? do { let scene = try await Entity( named: sceneName, in: visionPetsContentBundle ) entity = scene.findEntity(named: entityName) } catch { print( "Error loading \(entityName) from scene \(sceneName): \(error.localizedDescription)" ) } return entity } Anyone having the same problem?

I would like to translate info in a three.js based web app as a 3D model in a volumetric window. Is it possible to do this in a similar manner as loading a web page in a WKWebView?

SharePlay objects are not placed in the same place in the same space. I hope they can be placed in the same place. （Vision Pro）

In Beta 1,2, and 3, we could pick up and inspect entities, bringing them closer while moving them outside of the bounds of a volume. As of Beta 4, these entities are now clipped by the bounds of the volume. I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended change, but I files a Feedback report (FB19005083). The release notes don't mention a change in behavior–at least not that I can find. Is this an intentional change or a bug? Here is a video that shows the issue. https://youtu.be/ajBAaSxLL2Y In the previous versions of visionOS 26, I could move these entities out of the volume and inspect them close up. Releasing would return them to the volume. Now they are clipped as soon as they reach the end of the volume. I haven't had a chance to test with windows or with the SwiftUI modifier version of manipulation.

Can we constrain or clamp translation with the new ManipulationComponent? For example, allow free movement within certain bounds.

I am working on an app that will allow a user to load and share their model files (usdz, usda, usdc). I'm looking at security options to prevent bad actors. Are there security or validation methods built into ARKit/RealityKit/CloudKit when loading models or saving them on the cloud? I want to ensure no one can inject any sort of exploit through these file types.

Hello! I’m familiar with the discussion on “Sending messages to the scene”, and I’ve successfully used that code. However, I have several instances of the same model in my scene. Is it possible to make only one specific model respond to a notification? For example, can I pass something like RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.SourceEntity in userInfo or use another method to target just one instance?

I've tried following apple's documentation to apply a video material on a Model Entity, but I have encountered a compile error while attempting to specify the Spatial Audio type. It is a 360 video on a Sphere which plays just fine, but the audio is too quiet compared to the volume I get when I preview the video on Xcode. So I tried tried to configure audio playback mode on the material but it gives me a compile error: "audioInputMode' is unavailable in visionOS audioInputMode' has been explicitly marked unavailable here RealityFoundation.VideoPlaybackController.audioInputMode)" https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/videomaterial/ Code: let player = AVPlayer(url: url) // Instantiate and configure the video material. let material = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) // Configure audio playback mode. material.controller.audioInputMode = .spatial // this line won’t compile. VisionOS 2.4, Xcode 16.4, also tried Xcode 26 beta 2. The videos are HEVC MPEG-4 codecs. Is there any other way to do this, or is there a workaround available? Thank you.

There a way to use contentCaptureProtected with Quick Look on VisionOS 26? Or exist a way to see a spatial photo with Quick Look without sharing options ?

Hello everyone, I am currently developing an experience for visionOS using RealityKit and I would like to achieve volumetric light effects, such as visible light rays or shafts through fog or dust. I found this GitHub project: https://github.com/robcupisz/LightShafts, which demonstrates the kind of visual style I am aiming for. I would like to know if there is a way to create similar effects using RealityKit on visionOS. So far, I have experimented with DirectionalLight, SpotLight, ImageBasedLight, and custom materials (e.g., additive blending on translucent meshes), but none of these approaches can replicate the volumetric light shaft look shown in the repository above. Questions: Is there a recommended technique or workaround in RealityKit to simulate light shafts or volumetric lighting? Is creating a custom mesh (e.g., cone or volume geometry with gradient alpha and additive blending) the only feasible method? Are there any examples, best practices, or sample projects from Apple or other developers that showcase a similar visual style? Any advice or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

As far as I know, Apple hasn’t opened access to the Vision Pro camera for developers yet, so I’m trying to find possible workarounds within the current capabilities. I’m wondering if there’s any way to apply a mesh to a person in the scene in Vision Pro, or if there’s an alternative approach to roughly detect a human shape in front of the user?

Hey all, I'm working on a visionOS app that captures live frames from the left and right cameras of Apple Vision Pro using cameraFrame.sample(for: .left/.right). Apple provides documentation on encoding side-by-side frames into MV-HEVC spatial video using CMTaggedBuffer: Converting Side-by-Side 3D Video to MV-HEVC My question: Is there any way to render tagged frames (e.g. CMTaggedBuffer with .stereoView(.leftEye/.rightEye)) live, directly to a surface in RealityKit or Metal, without saving them to a file? I’d like to create a true stereoscopic (spatial) live video preview, not just render two images side-by-side. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

If I correctly understand, a new Enterprise API has been introduced In visionOS 26 allowing to fix windows to the user frame of reference, implementing a something like an "head up display", with the window tracking the user movements. Is this API only available to enterprise applications, and if so is there a plan to make it available for every kind of app?

I have a scene that has been assembled in RCP but I'm losing the correct hierarchy and transforms when running the scene in the headset or the simulator. This is in RCP: This is at runtime with the debugger: As you can see the "MAIN_WAGON" entity is gone and part of the hierarchy are now children of "TRAIN_ROOT" instead. Another issue is that not only part of the hieararchy disappears, it also reverts back to default values of the transform instead of what is set in RCP: This is in RCP: This is in the simulator/headset: I'm filing a feedback ticket too and will post the number here. Anyone had a similar issue and found a fix or workaround ?

How do you call the effect where the edges around the central image gradually become transparent? This effect is also seen when viewing immersive mode of spatial photos in Vision Pro. How can I achieve this effect using SwiftUI or ShaderGraph? I want to use this effect when displaying images in my app.

In a simple test, I'm observing ~30% higher CPU usage with the ARWorldTrackingConfiguration compared to the ARBodyTrackingConfiguration when both configurations have AREnvironmentTexturing enabled. In Instruments, I observe Recon3D consuming ~5.5 seconds of CPU time with the ARWorldTrackingConfiguration vs <0.3 second with the ARBodyTrackingConfiguration in two separate 30 seconds samples. This is on an iPhone 12 Pro equipped with lidar. Is there a reason why two separate configurations, both having the same features enabled would have a different CPU overhead?

Since using Quick Look exits you from both your app and Immersive Space. Is there a way to view immersive images within Immersive Space?

In WWDC25 session What’s new for the spatial web, the presenter showed creating an immersive environment for a web page by adding to the page's HEAD section <link rel="spatial-backdrop" href="office.usdz" environmentmap="lighting.hdr"> My first attempt failed, and I am trying to track down why. Before I search all the potential failure paths, I wanted to ask the community, Is this feature available in the latest visionOS 26 beta? I haven't seen anyone talk about their use of the feature yet.

We have successfully obtained the permissions for "Main Camera access" and "Passthrough in screen capture" from Apple. Currently, the video streams we have received are from the physical world and do not include the digital world. How can we obtain video streams from both the physical and digital worlds? thank you!
