My app is getting video from UVC device, and I wish to display it in an Immersive Space. But when I open Immersive Space, the UVC capture will just stop.AI said it's due to confliction in Camera pipeline. But I don't really understand, I don't need to use any on device camera, why it conflict with my UVC...

For the M2 Apple Vision Pro, there's "a general guideline, we recommend no more than 500 thousand triangles for an immersive scene, with 250 thousand for applications in the shared space." --https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10186/?time=147 Is there a revised recommendation for the M5 Apple Vision Pro?

.glassEffect(.regular, in: .rect(cornerRadius: 24)) error; 'glassEffect(_:in:isEnabled:)' is unavailable in visionOS This is not surprising since visionOS already has a native glass interface that formed a model for the other OS's, but this error will create additional overhead for developers creating multi-platform apps that include visionOS.

I have been concentrating on developing the visionOS application. While I am currently quite familiar with RealityKit, CompositorServices has also captured my attention. I have not yet acquired knowledge of CompositorServices. Could you please clarify whether it is essential for me to learn CompositorServices? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could provide insights into the advantages of RealityKit and CompositorServices.

At the moment the map kit APls only support non-volumetric maps (i.e. in a window or in a volume, but on a 2D surface). Is support for 3D volumetric maps in VisionOS in the works? And if so when can we expect it to be available?

Hi, We are trying to port our Unity app from other XR devices to Vision Pro. Thus it's way easier for us to use the Metal rendering layer, fully immersive. And to stay true to the platform, we want to keep the gaze/pinch interaction system. But we just noticed that, unlike Polyspatial XR apps, VisionOS XR in Metal does not provide gaze info unless the user is actively pinching... Which forbids any attempt to give visual feedback on what they are looking at (buttons, etc). Is this planned in Apple's roadmap ? Thanks

Hi I know it's possible to play equirectangular VR180 video either SBS or MV-HEVC. And for fisheye video, the only way I know is to convert it into an AIVU for playback. Is there any way to directly play fisheye video using AVPlayer? Thanks a lot!

Sorry for the cross-post but it's now two days in and this isn't fixed. If you try to use Xcode 16.3b3 with visionOS, it won't download the visionOS SDK, gives a 'network error' so you can't use the latest beta for Apple Vision Pro. FB16927025 FB16917874 FB16910449

In Vision OS app, I have two types of windows: Main App Window – This is the default window that launches when the app starts. It displays the video listings and other primary content. Immersive Space Window – This opens only when a user starts streaming or playing a video. Issue: When entering the immersive space, the main app window remains visible in front of it unless manually closed. To avoid this, I currently close the main window when transitioning to immersive space and reopen it when exiting from immersive space. However, this causes the app to restart instead of resuming from its previous state. Desired Behavior: I want the main app window to retain its state and seamlessly resume from where it was before entering immersive mode, rather than restarting. Attempts & Challenges: Tried managing opacity, visibility but none worked as expected. Couldn’t find a way to push the main window to the background while bringing the immersive space to the foreground. Looking for a solution to keep the main window’s state intact while transitioning between immersive and normal modes.

Hi, since iOS 18 UnlitMaterial and ShaderGraphMaterial have the option to disable tone mapping, e.g via https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/unlitmaterial/init(applypostprocesstonemap:) Is it possible to do the same for CustomMaterial? I tried initializing a CustomMaterial based on an UnlitMaterial where tone mapping is disabled, like so: let unlitMat = UnlitMaterial(applyPostProcessToneMap: false) let customMaterial = try CustomMaterial( from: unlitMat, surfaceShader: surfaceShader, geometryModifier: geometryModifier ) but that does not seem to work. The colors of my texture still look altered in comparison to a plain UnlitMaterial or a ShaderGraphMaterial where its disabled. Any hints? Thank you!

I'm seeing this error while attempting to compile my VisionOS app under Xcode 26. My existing code looks like: let (naturalSize, formatDescriptions, mediaCharacteristics) = try? await videoTrack.load(.naturalSize, .formatDescriptions, .mediaCharacteristics) This is now giving a compiler error: Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation I don't see that anything that was changed or deprecated in the latest version. Also loading the properties individually seems to work fine i.e.: let naturalSize = try? await videoTrack.load(.naturalSize) let formatDescriptions = try? await videoTrack.load(.formatDescriptions) let mediaCharacteristics = try? await videoTrack.load(.mediaCharacteristics)

If I trigger the apple rating modal in an Immersive space it appears on the ground in (0,0,0) I need it to be in front of the user like push notification perimssion does or other permissions requests.

I am trying to run widgets on visionOS 26. Specifically I am trying to pin them to the simulator room's walls, however I am unable to do so. Is this a limitation with the visionOS simulator right now, or am I missing a trick here?

I want to display a model image in the windowGroup window. This image is not unique. To display the model image, how should I convert it into an image

Apple, please provide access to face tracking blend shapes on vision os, just like you do on iOS. You have the best eye and face tracking implementation on the market, please let us use it. There is a sizable audience who will buy the headset just for it. I personally know multiple people who are not buying the headset simply because you locked those features out. No raw camera access is needed, just abstracted blendshapes values. You will make the headset so much more useful if you do this simple thing.

Hello, I am currently working on a Unity project for the Apple Vision Pro. I would like to have people passing in front of the virtual objects occlude the virtual objects that are behind. Something similar to this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/occluding-virtual-content-with-people I could unfortunately not find any documentation about this. Is it possible to implement body segmentation or occlusion on the Apple Vision Pro? If it's not currently supported, are there plans to add it? Any ideas on how to achieve this with existing tools? Thanks! Mehdi

As in the title: openImmersiveSpace works as expected. The ImmersiveSpace in the ID opens normally but the function never resolves a Result. Here is a workaround I used to make user it was on the UI thread and scenePhase was active: ` @MainActor func openSpaceWithStateCheck() async { if scenePhase == .active { Task { switch await openImmersiveSpace(id: "RoomCaptureInteraction") { case .opened: isCapturingImagery = true break case .error: print("!! An error occurred when trying to open the immersive space captureRoomImagery") case .userCancelled: print("!! The user declined opening immersive space captureRoomImagery") @unknown default: print("!! unknown default result of opening space") break } } } else { print("Scene not active, deferring immersive space opening") } } I'm on visionOS 2.4 and SDK 2.2. I have tried uninstalling the app and rebuilding. Tried simply opening an empty ImmersiveSpace. The consistency of the ImmersiveSpace opening at least means I can work around it. Even dismissImmersiveSpace works normally and closes the immersive space. But a workaround seems hamfisted.

It's much easier to use custom material to bridge metal shader onto Reality model than using LowLevelTexture does the same thing. Why VisionOS doesn't support this material:

We got very excited when we saw support for the PSVR2 on WWDC! Particularly interesting is WebXR to us, so we got the controllers to give it a try. Unfortunately they only register as gamepads in the navigator but not as XRInputDevice's We went through the experimental flags and didn't find something that is directly related. Is there a flag we missed? If not, when do you have PSVR2 support planned for WebXR?
