Hello,
There are odd artifacts (one looks like an image placeholder) appearing when dismissing an immersive space which is displaying an ImagePresentationComponent. Both artifacts look like widgets..
See below our simple code displaying the ImagePresentationComponent and the images of the odd artifacts that appear briefly when dismissing the immersive space.
import OSLog
import RealityKit
import SwiftUI
struct ImmersiveImageView: View {
let logger = Logger(subsystem: AppConstant.SUBSYSTEM, category: "ImmersiveImageView")
@Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel
var body: some View {
RealityView { content in
if let currentMedia = appModel.currentMedia,
var imagePresentationComponent = currentMedia.imagePresentationComponent {
let imagePresentationComponentEntity = Entity()
switch currentMedia.type {
case .iphoneSpatialMovie:
logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatial3DImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))")
imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatial3DImmersive
case .twoD:
logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatial3DImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))")
imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatial3DImmersive
case .visionProConvertedSpatialPhoto:
logger.info("\(#function) \(#line) spatialStereoImmersive display for \(String(describing: currentMedia))")
imagePresentationComponent.desiredViewingMode = .spatialStereoImmersive
default :
logger.error("\(#function) \(#line) Unsupported media type \(currentMedia.type)")
assertionFailure("Unsupported media type \(currentMedia.type)")
}
imagePresentationComponentEntity.components.set(imagePresentationComponent)
imagePresentationComponentEntity.position = AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition
content.add(imagePresentationComponentEntity)
}
let toggleViewAttachmentComponent = ViewAttachmentComponent(rootView: ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton())
let toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity = Entity(components: toggleViewAttachmentComponent)
toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity.position = SIMD3<Float>(
AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.x + 1,
AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.y,
AppConstant.Position.spacialImagePosition.z
)
toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity.scale = AppConstant.Scale.attachments
content.add(toggleViewAttachmentComponentEntity)
}
}
}

When pressing on the home button of the visionOS simulator, I am not positioned in the middle of the room like would normally be. This occurred when moving a lot in the space to find an element added to an ImmersiveSpace.
How to resolve: restart simulator device.
See attached the pictures of the visionOSSimulatorCorrectHomePosition and the visionOSSimulatorMisallignedHomePosition.
Hello,
There are three issues I am running into with a default template project + additional minimal code changes:
the Sphere_Left entity always overlaps the Sphere_Right entity.
when I release the Sphere_Left entity, it does not remain sticking to the Sphere_Right entity
when I release the Sphere_Left entity, it distances itself from the Sphere_Right entity
When I manipulate the Sphere_Right entity, these above 3 issues do not occur: I get a correct and expected behavior.
These issues are simple to replicate:
Create a new project in XCode
Choose visionOS -> App, then click Next
Name your project, and leave all other options as defaults: Initial Scene: Window, Immersive Space Renderer: RealityKit, Immersive Space: Mixed, then click Next
Save you project anywhere...
Replace the entire ImmersiveView.swift file with the below code.
Run.
Try to manipulate the left sphere, you should get the same issues I mentioned above
If you restart the project, and manipulate only the right sphere, you should get the correct expected behaviors, and no issues.
I am running this in macOS 26, XCode 26, on visionOS 26, all released lately.

While using apple's vision pro, we noticed that we can continue to use the visionOS keyboard when we no longer actually see it in passthrough.
In other words, when we focus on a field to type, visionOS displays the keyboard for us in such a way that we actually see it. Then, we noticed if we look away a little bit, either up, or down, or left, or right, in such a way that the keyboard is no longer visible by us in the passthrough, the keyboard still remains responsive to taps from our fingers at the location where it is. It seems the keyboard remains functional and responsive to taps even though we can no longer observe/see it.
We are trying to figure out how to implement similar functionality in our app whereby the user can continue to manipulate a 3d entity when the user can no longer actually observe it in passthrough (like the visionOS keyboard appears to allow).
I assume the visionOS keyboard has this functionality thanks to the downward facing sensors on the hardware that allow hand tracking even though the hands can no longer be observed by the user. That is likely how we can rest our hands on our lap is still be able to interact with visionOS.
How can we implement a similar functionality for 3D entities?
Is there a way to tap in, or to allow hand tracking, from those toward facing cameras?
Is it possible to manipulate a 3D entity when it is no longer observed by the user for example when they shift their attention somewhere else in the field of vision?
How does the visionOS keyboard achieve this?
