I see no way to scale an entity with a hover effect.
The closest I can find is by using HoverEffectComponent with a shader hover effect. Maybe I can change the scale with a ShaderGraph, but I cannot figure out how.

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'm having a heck of a time getting this to work. I'm trying to add an event notification at the end of a timeline animation to trigger something in code but I'm not receiving the notification from RC Pro. I've watched that Compose Interactive 3D Content video quite a few times now and have tried many different ways. RC Pro has the correct ID names on the notifications. I'm not a programmer at all. Just a lowly 3D artist. Here is my code...
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
import RealityKitContent
extension Notification.Name {
static let button1Pressed = Notification.Name("button1pressed")
static let button2Pressed = Notification.Name("button2pressed")
static let button3Pressed = Notification.Name("button3pressed")
}
struct MainButtons: View {
@State private var transitionToNextSceneForButton1 = false
@State private var transitionToNextSceneForButton2 = false
@State private var transitionToNextSceneForButton3 = false
@Environment(AppModel.self) var appModel
@Environment(\.dismissWindow) var dismissWindow
// Notification publishers for each button
private let button1PressedReceived = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .button1Pressed)
private let button2PressedReceived = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .button2Pressed)
private let button3PressedReceived = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .button3Pressed)
var body: some View {
ZStack {
RealityView { content in
// Load your RC Pro scene that contains the 3D buttons.
if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "MainButtons", in: realityKitContentBundle) {
content.add(immersiveContentEntity)
}
}
// Optionally attach a gesture if you want to debug a generic tap:
.gesture(
TapGesture().targetedToAnyEntity().onEnded { value in
print("3D Object tapped")
_ = value.entity.applyTapForBehaviors()
// Do not post a test notification here—rely on RC Pro timeline events.
}
)
}
.onAppear {
dismissWindow(id: "main")
// Remove any test notification posting code.
}
// Listen for distinct button notifications.
.onReceive(button1PressedReceived) { (output) in
print("Button 1 pressed notification received")
transitionToNextSceneForButton1 = true
}
.onReceive(button2PressedReceived.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)) { _ in
print("Button 2 pressed notification received")
transitionToNextSceneForButton2 = true
}
.onReceive(button3PressedReceived.receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)) { _ in
print("Button 3 pressed notification received")
transitionToNextSceneForButton3 = true
}
// Present next scenes for each button as needed. For example, for button 1:
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $transitionToNextSceneForButton1) {
FacilityTour()
.environment(appModel)
}
// You can add additional fullScreenCover modifiers for button 2 and 3 transitions.
}
}

When viewing an immersive space and I open a spatial photo in Quick Look, which hides the entire app interface to show the photo. Is there a memory limit? If the inmersive space is not active, the application keep the interface.
In an earlier beta, BillboardComponent had rotationAxis and upDirection properties which allowed more fine-grained control of how an entity rotates towards the camera.
Currently, it is only possible to orient the z axis of the entity.
Looking at the robot in the documentation, the rotation of its z axis causes its feet to lift off the ground.
Before, it was possible to restrain the rotation to one axis (y, for example) so that the robot's feet stayed on the ground with
billboard.upDirection = [0, 1, 0]
billboard.rotationAxis = [0, 1, 0]
Is there an alternative way to achieve this? Are these properties (or similar) coming back?
Similar to the visionOS Spatial Gallery app, I'm developing a visionOS app that will show spatial photos and videos. Is it possible to re-create the horizontal (or a vertical) scrolling functionality that shows spatial photos and spatial video previews? Does the Spatial Gallery app use private APIs to create this functionality? I've been looking at the Quick Look documentation and have been able to use the PreviewApplication to show a single preview, but do not see anything for a collection of files as the Spatial Gallery app presents in the scrolling view. Any insights or direction on how this may be done is greatly appreciated.
Can I combine FromToByAction and BindTarget.MaterialPath to animate my ShaderGraphMaterial. I don't know how to use the BindTarget.MaterialPath.
I downloaded the file through Scoot, and when I remove VisionPro, the app will call the StreamDelegate method and return ". endEncountered". How can I solve this problem?
Thank you!
I am currently creating an app where two people share an instance of an immersive space so that they are able to point to certain things in the immersive space. Right now, other people are hidden behind the immersive space, and even with people awareness enabled for everything, people are still too difficult to see. I've found this documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/occluding-virtual-content-with-people) which describes what I want to do, but it is only listed as working on iOS an iPadOS. Is there anything similar to this that will work on VisionOS?
Still don't understand why no one is clarifying about this Apple Video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10111
At the end of this video, there's an incomplete tutorial about connecting a USDZ with mesh and Skeleton structure to the hand tracking system. No example project is linked, and no one is giving the community any clarification. Please can you help us to understand how to proceed?
In Reality Composer Pro 2.0 (448.120.2), if I use the "Create new scene in the project" button more than once, this feature doesn't seem to work.
The second time I use "Create new scene in the project", Reality Composer Pro displays a new empty USDA file in the project browser with the wrong icon (a yellow document icon instead of a 3D box icon).
Also, it doesn't create the new scene's USDA file on disk or display the scene in entity hierarchy browser or create a new tab.
Consequently, whenever I want to add more than one new scene to my project, I have to repeatedly quit and restart Reality Composer Pro.
In my use of RCP just now, I had to quit and restart RCP six times to create seven new scenes.
Is this a known issue?
Repro steps:
In a Reality Composer Pro project, create a new folder using the "add folder" icon button in the project browser.
Inside the new folder, click the "Create new scene in the project" icon button.
Click the "Create new scene in the project" icon button a second time.
Expected behavior:
A new USDA file is created on disk. The new USDA file's root entity appears in the entity hierarchy browser and a corresponding new tab is created.
Observed behavior:
The USDA file for this scene is not created on disk and it does not appear in the entity hierarchy browser in a new tab. In the project browser view, a yellow document icon appears and it does not appear to correspond to an actual USDA file.
Thank you for any insight you can provide about this issue.
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 adding grounding shadow on my Entity in RealityView on visionPro. However it seems that the shadow can only appear on another Entity. So I using plane detection in ARKit and add a transparent plane on it to render shadow.
let planeEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generatePlane(width: anchor.geometry.extent.width, height: anchor.geometry.extent.height), materials: [material])
planeEntity.components.set(OpacityComponent(opacity: 0.0))
But sometimes there will be a border around my Entityon the plane.
I do not know why it will happen, and I want remove the border.
Hi, I’m currently using Reality Composer Pro on macOS, and I’m trying to work with particle emitters using only the built-in tools — no Xcode, no custom Swift code.
Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:
1. Is it possible to trigger a particle emitter with a tap gesture, directly inside Reality Composer Pro?
2. Can I add a particle emitter to a timeline, so that it emits at a specific time during an animation or behavior sequence?
3. Most importantly, is there a way to precisely control emission behavior — such as when particles start or stop — using visual and intuitive controls, without scripting?
My goal is to set up particle effects that are interactive and timeline-controlled, but managed entirely through Reality Composer Pro’s GUI, not through code.
Any suggestions, tips, or examples would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
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?
Hi Nathaniel,
I spoke with you yesterday in the WWDC lab. Thanks for chatting with me! Is it possible to get a link to a doc that has some key metrics I'd find in a RealityKit trace so I know if that metric is exceeding limits and probably causing a problem? Right now, I just see numbers and have no idea if a metric is high or low :). This is specifically for a VisionOS app.
Thanks,
Bob
I am working on a project that requires access to the main camera on the Vision Pro. My main account holder applied for the necessary enterprise entitlement and we were approved and received the Enterprise.license file by email. I have added the Enterprise.license file to my project, and manually added the com.apple.developer.arkit.main-camera-access.allow entitlement to the entitlement file and set it to true since it was not available in the list when I tried to use the + Capability button in the Signing & Capabilites tab.
I am getting an error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: " doesn't include the com.apple.developer.arkit.main-camera-access.allow entitlement. I have checked the provisioning profile settings online, and there is no manual option for adding the main camera access entitlement, and it does not seem to be getting the approval from the license.
Hello,
I'm trying to view the components of an Entity I'm creating in RealityKit by reading from a USDZ file. I have the following code snippet in my app.
if let appleEntity = try? Entity.loadModel(named: "apple_tile") {
let c = appleEntity.components
for comp in c { // <- compiler error here
print(comp)
}
}
The compiler error I'm receiving says "For-in loop requires 'Entity.ComponentSet' to conform to 'Sequence'". However, I thought this was the case, according to the documentation for Entity.ComponentSet?
Curious if anyone else has had this problem. Running XCode 15.4, and my Swift version is
xcrun swift -version
swift-driver version: 1.90.11.1 Apple Swift version 5.10 (swiftlang-5.10.0.13 clang-1500.3.9.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-macosx14.0
I developed an app on VisionPro and created a button that allows users to exit the app instead of being forced to exit. I use the ”exit (0)“ scheme to exit the application, but when I re-enter, the loaded window is not the initial window, so is there any relevant code that can be used? Thank you
