I am allowing users to go through and capture different rooms, and add a custom label to that room. Is there a way to store data about this in the captured room so that it persists into the final merge? As it is now, My users mark all their merges with custom labels, but after merging there is no way to remember which room is which in the merging process so they have to go through and manually add the labels back. For larger floor plans this is not ideal.

At a recent community meeting we were wondering how Apple creates this soft-edge effect around the occlusion cutouts. We see this effect on keyboard cutouts, iPhone cutouts, and in progressive spaces. An example: Notice the soft edged around the occlusion cutout for the keyboard One of our members created some Shader Graph materials to explore soft edges. These work by sending data into the opacity channel of the PreviewSurface node. Unfortunately, the Occlusion Surface nodes lack any sort of input. If you know how to blend these concepts with RealityKit Occlusion, please let us know!

Hi, I'm encountering an issue in our app that uses RoomPlan and ARsession for scanning. After prolonged use—especially under heavy load from both the scanning process and other unrelated app operations—the iPhone becomes very hot, and the following warning begins to appear more frequently: "ARSession <0x107559680>: The delegate of ARSession is retaining 11 ARFrames. The camera will stop delivering camera images if the delegate keeps holding on to too many ARFrames. This could be a threading or memory management issue in the delegate and should be fixed." I was able to reproduce this behavior using Apple’s RoomPlanExampleApp, with only one change: I introduced a CPU-intensive workload at the end of the startSession() function: DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5) { for i in 0..<4 { var value = 10_000 DispatchQueue.global().async { while true { value *= 10_000 value /= 10_000 value ^= 10_000 value = 10_000 } } } } I suspect this is some RoomPlan API problem that's why a filed an feedback: 17441091

Hello, I'm developing a visionOS application for Apple Vision Pro that aims to scan unknown physical objects, capture their 3D data (such as meshes or point clouds), and export them as 3D models. Ideally, I'd also like to visualize these reconstructions in real-time within the headset. This functionality is similar to what's available in Reality Composer on iPad and iPhone, but I'm seeking to implement it natively on Vision Pro. I've reviewed the visionOS documentation but haven't found clear guidance on accessing LiDAR depth data or performing scene reconstruction. Specifically, I'm interested in: 1.Accessing LiDAR or depth data from Vision Pro's sensors. 2.Utilizing ARKit's scene reconstruction capabilities on visionOS. 3.Exporting captured 3D data as models (e.g., USDZ or OBJ formats). Are there APIs or frameworks in visionOS that support these features?

I am experience problem with three iPhone 13 Pro. They are reporting the lowest quality for all points in the depthmap from the Lidar sensor. The readings I get are unusable. If it was just one phone I would consider it a faulty sensor, but in this case it is three phones that gives the same result. I have other iPhone 13 Pro that works as expected. Have any else experienced a similar behavior? I am using iOS 18.4.1 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avdepthdata/depthdataquality

I have an arguably massive project and am not sure if the issue is with the assets or my approach in the code. the error says : Tool terminated due to error "SIGNAL 6:Abort trap:6" Basically I have around 15-20 assets (usda files built out of usdz files). In the code i am loading a scene with all the usda files and then have the functions to enable and disable a particular asset when needed. This was working as intended when i am using dummy assets(with less polygons, lesser textures) But when i placed the actual assets the error appears and persists. Do I have a bad approach of loading all the scenes at once? Previously i have used an approach which loads the scenes when needed and that involved some lag before rendering the assets. But my current approach(when using dummies) works like a dime rendering and hiding the assets in realtime with no lag. Kindly suggest any workarounds.

I'm developing a custom gesture-based visionOS project that uses hand tracking with collision detection spheres on fingers to register user interactions through collision components. I'm experiencing a critical occlusion issue where collision detection spheres are intermittently occluded by the background/depth buffer, causing fingers to pass through the 3D model entities without registering interactions. Detailed Description: I have added 3D entities in an immersive scene with collision spheres attached to fingers for detecting user interactions. Each sphere has: CollisionComponent with sphere shape Proper collision masks and groups configured Real-time position updates from hand joint transforms Each entity has: InputTarget components to register collisions The Issue: When users move their fingers to the entity to interact, some collision spheres (particularly on the pinkie and ring fingers) become occluded and pass directly through the 3D model without triggering collision events. Meanwhile, other fingers (like the index finger) continue to work correctly. This appears to be a depth perception/z-buffer issue between the model entity and the hand tracking collision spheres Questions: Is there a recommended approach for maintaining consistent depth ordering between hand-tracking entities and 3D models in immersive spaces to prevent occlusion issues? Should I be using AnchorEntities to anchor the entity to a plane or world position to establish a more stable depth reference? Are there specific RenderingComponent or material settings that could help ensure collision entities maintain their depth priority and don't get occluded? Could this be related to z-fighting when collision spheres and entity geometry occupy similar depth ranges? If so, what's the recommended depth bias approach? Is there a better architectural approach for implementing interactions with custom hand gesture tracking that avoids these depth perception issues? What Would Help: Implementation guidance for ensuring reliable collision detection between hand-tracked entities through custom gestures and 3D models. Best practices for depth management in immersive spaces with custom hand gesture tracking. Sample code demonstrating stable hand-to-object interaction patterns. Information about whether this is a known limitation or if there are specific APIs I should be leveraging This issue is significantly impacting the reliability of our app experience, as users cannot consistently interact with all model components. Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have solved similar depth/occlusion challenges would be greatly appreciated. Additional Context: This is for a productivity-focused application where accuracy and reliability are critical. Thank you for any assistance!

I noticed in the latest macOS beta 3 that there was this update: A new algorithm significantly improves PhotogrammetrySession reconstruction quality of low-texture objects not captured with the ObjectCaptureSession front end. It will be downloaded and cached once in the background when the PhotogrammetrySession is used at runtime. If network isn’t available at that time, the old low quality model will be used until the new one can be downloaded. There is no code change needed to get this improved model. (145220451) I am not noticing any difference to before with the reconstructions I tested so I am assuming it's reverting to the old model but in the logs there is no way to see if it succeeds or fails to download that new model. do you have any more information on what was improved here with some examples and what we should be looking for? also how can confirm the download of that new model has not failed?

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!

Wondering if this is even possible without using CVImageBuffer and passing each frame as an image which I imagine will be very expensive. Have a PoC of a shader graph that applies a radial zoom effect to an image. In RealityKit I'm passing the image as a resource: if let textureResource = try? await TextureResource(named: "fuji") { let value = MaterialParameters.Value.textureResource(textureResource) try? material.setParameter(name: "MyImage", value: value) model.model?.materials = [material] } Thanks in advance

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 know that Apple bans user from accessing to raw gaze data like gaze vector (x,y,z) or eye position. But when you do research on gaze data, how did you collect them from vision pro? Is there any App to solve this problem?

I'm developing an AR application for the iPad pro where the primary purpose is to overlay 3D design data on top of production parts. For alignment, we are using Vuforia (model targets) which work really well locally. The further the device is moved from the point of original alignment, we are seeing quite a bit of overlay error (drift?). My primary questions are: Are there any best practices to stabilize frame-to-frame tracking when using model targets? We are noticing drift as soon as the device starts moving (the drift appears to occur specifically in the direction the device is moving). After about 15 feet of movement, we are observing about 3-6" of overlay error These use cases can be over 100 feet long. In order to reset drift, we understand we'll need multiple alignment points (model targets) along the way. Is there a standard/best practice for this? Ex: have a new alignment point every x-feet? We are using plane anchors to set our alignment. Typically we attach it to the nearest plane; however, the anchor point can be very far away (the origin of the model, which often is not near where the virtual content is). Could this be the issue? The anchor is far from the plane that we attach it too. Would moving the anchor closer to the plane we attach it too improve stability? After a few steps, the plane we originally attach too will be out of FoV anyway. Thanks in advance!

Hi there I'm using Reality Composer Pro to anchor virtual content to a .referenceobject. However moving the referenceobject quickly causes tracking to stop. (I know this is a limitation and I am trying to embrace it as a feature) Is there a way to play a USDZ animation at the last known location, after detecting that the reference object is no longer tracked? is it possible to set this up in Reality Composer pro? I'm trying to get the USDZ to play before the Virtual Content disappears (due to reference object not being located). So that it smooths out the vanishing of the content. Nearly everything is set up in Reality Composer pro with my immersive.scene just adding virtual content to the reference object which anchors it in the RCP Scene, so my immersive view just does this - if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(immersiveContentEntity) & this .onAppear { appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .open } .onDisappear { appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .closed } I have tried Using SpatialTracking & WorldTrackingProvider, but I'm still quite new to Swift and coding in general so im unsure how to implement in conjunction with my RCP scene and/or if this is the right way to go about it. Also I have implemented this at the beginning of object tracking. All I had to do was add a onAppear behavior to the object to play a USDZ and that works. Doing it for disappearing (due to loss of reference object) seems to be a lot harder.

I want to select a sub model under a large model in a mixed space, and when I select this sub model, I will add a stroke to it, similar to the effect of selecting a model in Reality Composer Pro ，How to create entity strokes similar to this effect
