Hi,
I'm trying to correct the lens distortion in frames provided by Enterprise API camera frame provider. The frames provided seem to have only in/extrinsics info, but not the distortion lookup table.
Is there some magic setting, or function to do that (I can't seem to find anything like this)? Or is there a way to use AVCameraCalibrationData together with provider?

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?
Hi, I'm working with CameraFrameProvider from Enterprise API. Is it always capped at 30fps, or is there something I can switch to get more?
I assume it is capped at 30, so let me cram in additional question here :). If I'd get a developer strap and attach an external camera capable of doing >30fps, will I get the full stream, or some other limitation will kick in?
I am using HelloPhotogrammetry in Xcode
I can make one model with something like HelloPhotogrammetry.main([path_to_folder_of images, path_to_output/model.usdz, "-d", "medium", "-o", "unordered", "-f", "high" ])
But how would I request several models simultaneously? I only want to vary the detail.
[ ("/Users/you/Desktop/model_medium.usdz", detail: .medium), ("/Users/you/Desktop/model_full.usdz", detail: .full), ("/Users/you/Desktop/model_raw.usdz", detail: .raw ]
We're trying to switch from using main camera access on Arkit to screen-capture with passthrough however we're facing some issues and it seems a bit complicated to debug.
We have set up a broadcast Extension, set up some logs on the sample Handler but we get nothing in the console nor that the recording starts, we set up the picker as well and we can see our extension in the control center as one of the choices but clicking start, results in it stopping in less than one second after.
The only message that is rather contradictory we see in the console.app is the following
[INFO] -[RPRecordingManager getSystemBroadcastExtensionInfo:]_block_invoke:1333 Extension has passthrough license
and just right after
[INFO] -[RPRecordingManager getSystemBroadcastExtensionInfo:]_block_invoke:1336 Extension does not have passthrough license
So I am exporting a .usdc file from blender that already has some morph animations. The animations play well in blender but when I export I cannot seem to play them in RealityKit or RCP.
Entity.availableAnimations is an empty array.
Not of the child objects in the entity hierarchy has an animation library component with it.
Maybe I am exporting it wrong but I tried multiple combinations but doesn't seem to work.
Here are my export settings in blender
The original file I purchased is an FBX file that has the animation but when I try to directly get it in RealityConverter it doesn't seem to play animations.

Hi,
we've been through the Explore Object Tracking for visionOS and worked through the sample code ExploringObjectTrackingWithARKit.
What we'd really like to see is Object Tracking for iOS using devices with either LiDAR or the TrueDepth/RGB cameras.
Hi,
I would like clarification on whether the new hover effects feature introduced in vision os 26 supported pinch gestures through the psvr 2 controllers.
In your sample application, I found that this was not working. Pulling the trigger on the controller whilst looking at the 3d object did not activate the hover effect spatial event in the sample application. (The object is showing the highlight though), only pinch clicking with my fingers seem to be registering/triggering the spatial event.
I am using Vision OS 26.3
This is inconsistent with how the psvr2 controller behaves on swift ui views and ui view elements, where the trigger press does count as a button click.
The sample I used was this one:

Hi, I'm developing an app for Vision Pro using Xcode, while updating the latest update, things that worked in my app suddenly didn't.
in my app flow I'm tapping spheres to get their positions, from some reason I get an offset from where I tap to where a marker on that position is showing up.
here's the part of code that does that, and a part that is responsible for an alignment that happens afterwards:

rootEntity.visit { entity in
print("👀 Entity in model: \(entity.name)")
if entity.name.lowercased().hasPrefix("focus") {
entity.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true)
entity.components.set(InputTargetComponent())
print("🎯 Made tappable: \(entity.name)")
}
}
print("✅ Model loaded with collisions")
guard let sphere = placementSphere else { return }
let sphereWorldXform = sphere.transformMatrix(relativeTo: nil)
var newXform = sphereWorldXform
newXform.columns.3.y += 0.1 // move up by 20 cm
let gridAnchor = AnchorEntity(world: newXform)
self.gridAnchor = gridAnchor

Hi everyone,
I’m working with RealityKit on visionOS and I’m seeing unexpected behavior when the user long-presses the Digital Crown, which recenters the world.
Observed behavior:
When the world is recentered via long-pressing the Crown, the models remain visually in the correct place (as expected).
However, if I query the model’s position or transform immediately after recentering (e.g. entity.position or similar), I still get the old values from before recenter.
As soon as I interact with the model using a gesture (drag/rotate/scale), the position updates and then querying it returns the correct, updated values.
So effectively:
Recenter happens
Visual position is correct
Programmatic position remains stale
First gesture causes the position to “snap” to the correct updated value
Questions:
Is there any event, notification, or callback that fires when the world is recentered due to a long press of the Crown button?
Is there a recommended way to get the updated world-space transform immediately after recenter, without waiting for a gesture?
Is this expected behavior due to deferred/lazy transform updates in RealityKit?
Right now it feels like recentering updates the coordinate system but doesn’t immediately commit new transform values to entities until some interaction occurs.
Any guidance or best-practice patterns for handling this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
How can I request access to Enterprise API for VisionPro with an individual developer account? I wanted it for learning and testing
Hello,
I'm currently trying to make a collaborative app. But it just works only on Reality View, when I tried to use Compositor Layer like below, the personas disappeared.
ImmersiveSpace(id: "ImmersiveSpace-Metal") {
CompositorLayer(configuration: MetalLayerConfiguration()) { layerRenderer in
SpatialRenderer_InitAndRun(layerRenderer)
}
}
Is there any potential solution too see Personas in Metal view?
Thanks in advance!

Hi I have a monitoring app, that will take input video from uvc and process it using Metal, and eventually get a MTLTexture.
The problem I'm facing is I have to convert MTLTexture to CGImage then call TextureResource.replace, which is super slow. Metal processing speed is same as input frame rate(50pfs), but MTLTexture -> CGImage -> TextureResource only got 7fps...
Is there any way I can make it faster?

Hi All,
We're a studio building an app and as part of a scene we have a 3D asset with a smoke particle emitter and a curved mesh that plays video. I notice that when the video alone is played or the particle effect alone is done then the scene works fine but the frame rate drops drastically when both are turned on.
How do I solve this because this is an important storytelling feature.
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...
With the new ImagePresentationComponent in visionOS 26, how can text/overlays be shown on top of the image as seen in the Spatial Gallery app?
Seeing this magical sand table, the unfolding and folding effects are similar to spreading out cards, which is very interesting. But I don't know how to achieve it. I want to see if there are any ways to achieve this effect and give some ideas. May I ask if this effect can be achieved under the existing API

One of the most common ways to provide a window size in visionOS is to use the defaultSize scene modifier.
WindowGroup(id: "someID") {
SomeView()
}
.defaultSize(CGSize(width: 600, height: 600))
Starting in visionOS 26, using this has a side effect. visionOS 26 will restore windows that have been locked in place or snapped to surfaces. If a user has manually adjusted the size of a locked/snapped window, the users size is only restore in some cases.
Manual resize respected
Leaving a room and returning later
Taking the headset off and putting it back on later
Manual resize NOT respected
Device restart. In this case, the window is reopened where it was locked, but the size is set back to the values passed to defaultSize. The manual resizing adjustments the user has made are lost. This is counter to how all other windows and widgets work.
I reported this last month (FB18429638), but haven't heard back if this is a bug or intended behavior.
Questions
What is the best way to provide a default window size that will only be used when opening new windows–and not used during scene restoration?
Should we try to keep track of window size after users adjust them and save that somewhere?
If this is intended behavior, can someone please update the docs accordingly?
