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

Apple published a set of examples for using system gestures to interact with RealityKit entities. I've been using DragGesture a lot in my apps and noticed an issue when using it in an immersive space. When dragging an entity, if I turn my body to face another direction, the dragged entity does not stay relative to my hand. This can lead to situations where the entity is pulled very close to me, or pushed far way, or even ends up behind me. In the examples linked above, there are two versions of how they use drag. handleFixedDrag: This is similar to what I'm doing now. It uses the value from value.gestureValue.translation3D as the basis for the drag handlePivotDrag: This version aims to solve the problem I described above by using value.inputDevicePose3D as the basis of the gesture. I've tried the example from handlePivotDrag, but it has one limitation. Using this version, I can move the entity around me as if it were on the inside of an arc or sphere. However, I can no longer move the entity further or closer. It stays within a similar (though not exact) distance relative to me while I drag. Is there a way to combine these concepts? Ideally, I would like to use a gesture that behaves the same way that visionOS windows do. When we drag windows, I can move them around relative to myself, pull them closer, push them further, all while avoiding the issues described above. Example from handleFixedDrag mutating private func handleFixedDrag(value: EntityTargetValue<DragGesture.Value>) { let state = EntityGestureState.shared guard let entity = state.targetedEntity else { fatalError("Gesture contained no entity") } if !state.isDragging { state.isDragging = true state.dragStartPosition = entity.scenePosition } let translation3D = value.convert(value.gestureValue.translation3D, from: .local, to: .scene) let offset = SIMD3<Float>(x: Float(translation3D.x), y: Float(translation3D.y), z: Float(translation3D.z)) entity.scenePosition = state.dragStartPosition + offset if let initialOrientation = state.initialOrientation { state.targetedEntity?.setOrientation(initialOrientation, relativeTo: nil) } } Example from handlePivotDrag mutating private func handlePivotDrag(value: EntityTargetValue<DragGesture.Value>) { let state = EntityGestureState.shared guard let entity = state.targetedEntity else { fatalError("Gesture contained no entity") } // The transform that the pivot will be moved to. var targetPivotTransform = Transform() // Set the target pivot transform depending on the input source. if let inputDevicePose = value.inputDevicePose3D { // If there is an input device pose, use it for positioning and rotating the pivot. targetPivotTransform.scale = .one targetPivotTransform.translation = value.convert(inputDevicePose.position, from: .local, to: .scene) targetPivotTransform.rotation = value.convert(AffineTransform3D(rotation: inputDevicePose.rotation), from: .local, to: .scene).rotation } else { // If there is not an input device pose, use the location of the drag for positioning the pivot. targetPivotTransform.translation = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: .scene) } if !state.isDragging { // If this drag just started, create the pivot entity. let pivotEntity = Entity() guard let parent = entity.parent else { fatalError("Non-root entity is missing a parent.") } // Add the pivot entity into the scene. parent.addChild(pivotEntity) // Move the pivot entity to the target transform. pivotEntity.move(to: targetPivotTransform, relativeTo: nil) // Add the targeted entity as a child of the pivot without changing the targeted entity's world transform. pivotEntity.addChild(entity, preservingWorldTransform: true) // Store the pivot entity. state.pivotEntity = pivotEntity // Indicate that a drag has started. state.isDragging = true } else { // If this drag is ongoing, move the pivot entity to the target transform. // The animation duration smooths the noise in the target transform across frames. state.pivotEntity?.move(to: targetPivotTransform, relativeTo: nil, duration: 0.2) } if preserveOrientationOnPivotDrag, let initialOrientation = state.initialOrientation { state.targetedEntity?.setOrientation(initialOrientation, relativeTo: nil) } }

This modifier in visionOS 2.5 works perfectly with LazyVgrid inside a Stack in ScrollView: .hoverEffect { effect, isActive, _ in effect.scaleEffect(isActive ? 1.1 : 1.0) But the grid does not scroll in visionOS 26 beta 1 unless the scaleEffect is commented out. FB17941468

Are there any changes to RotationSystem: System and RotationComponent: Component that I should be aware of to see if I need to update my use in my visionOS app?

Hello, Want to understand what's the current state for developing for Apple Vision Pro? I want to stream a video from a remote server in realtime. It is a video stream and can't download it. I want to stream a low quality stream and high res stream. The server will only send the "box" where user is looking at. Are there any API to track where the user is looking at in the experience? Thanks,

Since using Quick Look exits you from both your app and Immersive Space. Is there a way to view immersive images within Immersive Space?

Hi, we would like to create something where you can open multiple volumetric windows and place them in a room, our biggest issue is that we want these windows to be persistent, so when I close and reopen the app, the windows to be in the same position. We can't use immersive spaces because we also want to have the possibility to access the shared space. Is it possible with the current features and capabilities to do that? If yes do you have some advices how can we achieve this? The alternative is if is it possible to open the virtual display in immersive spaces or if we have the possibility to implement our own virtual display.

Is it possible to create a button in my app that will turn on the spatial personas for the user? Currently the only way I know of turning on spatial personas is by selecting the cube icon in the FaceTime window which is quite clunky for people unfamiliar with the Vision Pro's UI. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m working on a Vision Pro app using Metal and need to implement multi-pass rendering. Specifically, I want to render intermediate results to a texture, then use that texture in a second pass for post-processing before presenting the final output. What’s the best approach in visionOS? Should I use multiple render passes in a single command buffer or separate command buffers? Any insights on efficiently handling this in RealityKit or Metal? Thanks!

I really love the immersive environments, but I don’t have experience with creating them. Do you have resources or tutorials you can recommend for creating these from scratch? I’ve seen the sample projects and videos, but they usually start in the middle, assuming you already have the assets created.

Hi team I don't know from this error has popped up any suggestions please Thanks Zippy Games

Environment visionOS 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1 Problem When a WindowGroup opens an ImmersiveSpace and the user closes the window via X button, the async Task in .onDisappear gets cancelled before dismissImmersiveSpace() completes, leaving the ImmersiveSpace active with no way to exit. Steps WindowGroup opens ImmersiveSpace in .onAppear User clicks X to close window .onDisappear fires but async cleanup cancelled ImmersiveSpace remains active, user trapped Expected ImmersiveSpace dismissed when window closes Actual ImmersiveSpace remains active Code .onAppear { Task { await openImmersiveSpace(id: "VideoCallMainCamera") } } .onDisappear { Task { await dismissImmersiveSpace() // Gets cancelled } } What I've Tried Task in .onDisappear ❌ scenePhase monitoring ❌ High priority Task ❌ .restorationBehavior(.disabled) + .defaultLaunchBehavior(.suppressed) ✅ (prevents restoration but doesn't fix immediate cleanup) Question What's the recommended pattern for ensuring ImmersiveSpace cleanup when WindowGroup closes? Is there a way to block window closure until async cleanup completes, or should ImmersiveSpaces automatically dismiss with their parent window?

Can I combine FromToByAction and BindTarget.MaterialPath to animate my ShaderGraphMaterial. I don't know how to use the BindTarget.MaterialPath.

When I was developing the visionOS 26beta Widget, I found that it could not work normally when the real vision OS was running, and an error would appear. Please adopt container background api It is worth mentioning that this problem does not occur on the visionOS virtual machine. Does anyone know what the reason and solution are, or whether this is a visionOS error that needs Feedback? Thank you!

Hi there, I’m building a workplace experience that requires using virtual desktop, is there a way to launch it in my code, so user doesn’t have to do it manually? Thanks in advance!

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)

I saw at WWDC25 mentions of visionOS 26 now providing hand tracking poses at 90hz, but I also recall that being a feature in visionOS 2. Is there something new happening in visionOS 26 that makes its implementation of hand tracking "better"?

I want to create a screenshot (static image) of the current view on the Apple Vision Pro using written code in visionOS. Unfortunately, I currently can’t find a way to achieve this. The only option I’ve found so far is through Reality Composer Pro. However, since I want to accomplish this directly through code, this approach is not an option for me.

Hello, esteemed tech developer. I am using the Apple Vision Pro to create an AR assist system about the da Vinci Surgical Robot in a medical surgical suite, and would like to capture eye movement data with tester uniformity. Although the Apple Vision Pro has a superb infrared sensor to monitor eye movement status, Apple does not seem to have open access officially. (I'm aware of many existing discussions about this, but I was still wondering if there might be an option, particularly for research labs.)Here's my FB number.FB16603687

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.
