Hi all,
I am trying to use ARWorldTrackingConfiguration to find any faces in my scene. However when I query the scene, using the same type of query one would use in ARFaceTrackingConfiguration, I don't get an Entity back. Here's my code:
var entityCollection : Set<Entity> = []
let faceEntity = scene.performQuery(query1).first {
$0.components[SceneUnderstandingComponent.self]?.entityType == .face
}
Every single time faceEntity returns as empty. Any help/pointers would be appreciated!

I have a AVPlayer() which loads the video and places it on the screen ModelEntity in the immersive view using the VideoMaterial. This also makes the video untappable as it is a VideoMaterial.
Here's the code for the same:
let screenModelEntity = model.garageScreenEntity as! ModelEntity
let modelEntityMesh = screenModelEntity.model!.mesh
let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "<URL>",
withExtension: "mp4")!
let asset = AVURLAsset(url: url)
let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: asset)
let player = AVPlayer()
let material = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player)
screenModelEntity.components[ModelComponent.self] = .init(mesh: modelEntityMesh, materials: [material])
player.replaceCurrentItem(with: playerItem)
return player
I was able to load and play the video. However, I cannot figure out how to show the player controls (AVPlayerViewController) to the user, similar to the DestinationVideo sample app.
How can I add the video player controls in this case?
Is there any callback in the code for the reset position from the crown button(when you long press on it)?
I'm in Europe, Vision Pro isn't available here yet. I'm a developer / designer, and I want to find out whether it's worthwhile to try and sell the idea of investing in a bunch of Vision Pro devices as well as in app development for it, to the people overseeing the budget for a project I'm part of. The project is broadly in an "industry" where several constraints apply, most of them are security and safety.
So far, all the Vision Pro discussion I've seen is about consumer-level media consumption and tippy-tappy-app-stuff for a broad user base.
Now, the hardware and the OS features and SDK definitely look like professional niche use cases are possible. But some features, such as SharePlay, will for example require an Apple ID and internet connection (I guess?). This for example is a strict nope in my case, for security reasons.
I'd like to start a discussion of what works and what doesn't work, outside the realm of watching Disney+ in your condo.
Potentially, this device has several marks ticked with regards to incredibly useful features in general.
very good indoor tracking
pass through with good fidelity
hands free operation
The first point especially, is kind of a really big deal, and for me, the biggest open question. I have multiple make or break questions with regard to this. (These features are not available in the simulator)
For sake of argument, lets say the app I'm building is Cave Mapper.
it's meant to be used by archeologists inside a cave system where we have no internet, no reliable compass, and no GPS. We have a local network that we can carry around though. We can also bring lights.
One feature of the app is to build out a catalog of cave paintings and store them in a database. The archeologist wants to walk around, look at a cave painting, and tap on it to capture its position relative to the cave entrance. The next day, another archeologist may work inside the same cave, and they would want to have synchronised access to the same spatial data from the day before. For that:
How good, precise, reliable, stable is the indoor tracking really? Hyped reviewers said it's rock solid, others have said it can drift.
How well do the persistent WorldAnchor objects work?
How well do they work when you're in a concrete bunker or a cave without GPS?
Can I somehow share a world anchor with another user? is it possible to sync the ARKit map that one device has built, with another device?
Other showstoppers?
in case you cannot share your mapped world or world anchors: How solid is the tracking of an ImageAnchor (which we could physically nail to the cave entrance to use as a shared positional / rotational reference)
Other, practical stuff:
can you wear Vision Pro with a safety helmet?
does it work with gloves?
I have the following issue regarding running 2 AR service. I am trying to develop an app for my masters thesis.
Case 1: I first scan the room using the roomplan api. Then I stop the roomplan api session and start the realitykit session. When the realitykit session starts, the camera is not showing anything but black screen.
Case 2: When I had the issue with case one, I tried a seperate test app where I had 2 seperate screen for roomplan api and realitykit. There is no relation. but as soon as I introduced roomplan api, realitykit stopped working, having the same black screen as above.
There might be any states that changed by the roomplan api, that's why realitykit is not able to access the camera. Let me know if you have any idea about it or any sample.
I am using the following stack:
Xcode - Latest; Swiftui; latest os in mac mini and iphone
I have a plane that is stereoscopic so represents to the user depth that is beyond the plane.
I would like to have the options to render the depth buffer for the pixels or to not render any information into the depth for the plane.
I cannot see any option in Shader Graph Material to affect the depth buffer during render. I also cannot see any way in RealityKit to not render to the depth buffer for an entity.
I'm open to any suggestions.
In the WWDC talk "Enhance your spatial computing app with RealityKit." we see how to create a portal effect with RealityKit. In the "Encounter Dinosaurs" experience on Vision Pro there is a similar portal, except this portal allows entities to stick out of the portal. Using the provided example code, I have been unable to replicate this effect. With the example code, anything that sticks out of the portal gets clipped.
How do I get entities to stick out of the portal in a way similar to the "Encounter Dinosaurs" experience?
I am familiar with the old way of using OcclusionMaterial to create portals, but if the camera gets between the OcclusionMaterial and the entity (such as walking behind the portal), this can break the effect, and I was unable to break the effect in the "Encounter Dinosaurs" experience.
If it helps at all: I have noticed that if you look from the edge of the portal very closely, the rocks will not stick out the way that the dinosaurs do; The rocks get clipped. Therefore, the dinosaurs are somehow being rendered differently.
I am trying to make an application for the Vision Pro where the particles don't move but rather stay still so that there is no lag. For example I am trying to spawn in a 100 particles here:
I want the particles to remain static but spawning in many causes the simulator to lag. Also is there maybe a way i can get a particle system to follow a specific shape like the one i have in the image.
Currently, I have multiple model entities that take on a particle system component
for i in 0..<100 {
let newEntity = ModelEntity()
var particleSystem = particleSystem(color: newColor)
newEntity.components.set(particleSystem)
newEntity.position = position
newEntity.scale = scale
stars.append(newEntity)
}
}
func particleSystem(color: UIColor) -> ParticleEmitterComponent {
var particles = ParticleEmitterComponent()
particles.emitterShapeSize = .init(repeating: 0.02)
// make burst smaller
particles.emitterShape = .sphere
particles.mainEmitter.birthRate = 1
particles.mainEmitter.lifeSpan = 2
particles.mainEmitter.size = 0.02
particles.burstCount = 50
particles.speed = 0.01
particles.mainEmitter.isLightingEnabled = false
particles.mainEmitter.color = .constant(.single(color))
return particles
}
I want to render a dense point cloud in Mixed Reality view using RealityKit. How could I achieve this, if this is possible? It seems to only support rendering mesh geometries with triangle faces.
Hello, I'm interested in using the iOS on-device object capture API for photogrammetry, however I would like to integrate it in a web app.
I understand that web apps cannot usually access system-level APIs, so I am unsure of whether or not this would be feasible to implement. I would greatly appreciate for any pointers in the right direction.
Thank you!
The indoor sky box is displayed large and far in the field of view in visionos?
why?
func addSkybox(for destination: Destination) {
let subscription = TextureResource.loadAsync(named: destination.imageName).sink(
receiveCompletion: {
switch $0 {
case .finished: break
case .failure(let error): assertionFailure("\(error)")
}
},
receiveValue: { [weak self] texture in
guard let self = self else { return }
var material = UnlitMaterial()
material.color = .init(texture: .init(texture))
self.components.set(ModelComponent(
mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 1E3),
materials: [material]
))
// We flip the sphere inside out so the texture is shown inside.
self.scale *= .init(x: -1, y: 1, z: 1)
self.transform.translation += SIMD3<Float>(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
// Rotate the sphere to show the best initial view of the space.
updateRotation(for: destination)
}
)
components.set(Entity.SubscriptionComponent(subscription: subscription))

In the below code I have extracted face mesh vertices from ARKit face anchors and created a custom face mesh using SceneKit SCNGeometry. This enabled me to stretch face mesh vertices as per my requirement.
Now the problem I am facing is as follows. I am trying to apply a lipstick texture material which is of type SCNMaterial. Although ARSCNFaceGeometry lets me apply different textures through SCNMaterial and SCNNode, I am not able to do the same using mu CustomFaceGeometry. When I am applying a lipstick texture which looks like the image attached below, the full face is getting colored or modified, I want only that part of the face which has texture transparency as >0 and I dont want other part of the face to be modified.
Can you give me a detailed solution using code?

Hello,
I've been tinkering with PortalComponent on visionOS a bit but noticed that the content of the WorldComponent is always clipped to the mesh geometry of whatever entities have the PortalComponent applied. Now I'm wondering if there is any way or trick to allow contents of the portal to peek out – similar to the Encounter Dinosaurs experience on Vision Pro (I assume it also uses PortalComponent?).
I saw that PortalComponent has a clippingPlane property (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/portalcomponent/clippingplane-swift.property). But so far I haven't been able to achieve a perceptible visual difference with it.
If possible I would like to avoid hacky tricks using duplicate meshes or similar to achieve this.
Thanks for any hints!
Hello,
I want to be able to tap on a previously-placed ModelEntity box and add a dot or a text at that location on the box (kind of like I'm adding an annotation on the box)
I have something like this, but not sure how I should do it correctly:
class MyARView: ARView {
// ...
private func didTap(_ gestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
let pos = gestureRecognizer.location(in: self)
if !didPlaceCube {
placeCube(pos)
return
}
let hitTestResult = self.hitTest(pos)
guard let firstResult = hitTestResult.first else { return}
let entity = firstResult.entity
let textEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateText("Hello there", extrusionDepth: 0.4, font: .boldSystemFont(ofSize: 0.05), containerFrame: .zero, alignment: .center, lineBreakMode: .byWordWrapping))
textEntity.setPosition(entity.position + firstResult.position, relativeTo: entity)
entity.addChild(textEntity)
}
// ...
}
Hello,
I am making a RealityKit app where a ball goes and hits some stones, and then goes back to its original position.
However, in moving back the ball always tilts a little and sometimes even goes backwards or in other directions!
I add my entities in these lines of code:
stoneEntity!.scale = [5, 5, 5]
anchor.addChild(stoneEntity!)
stoneEntity!.transform.translation = SIMD3<Float>(anchor.position.x, anchor.position.y, anchor.position.z)
stoneX = stoneEntity!.position.x
stoneY = stoneEntity!.position.y
stoneZ = stoneEntity!.position.z
stoneEntity?.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true)
// Add ball entity
anchor.addChild(ballEntity)
ballEntity.transform.translation = SIMD3<Float>(anchor.position.x, anchor.position.y, anchor.position.z + 1)
ballEntity.generateCollisionShapes(recursive: true)
ballEntity.physicsBody = PhysicsBodyComponent(massProperties: PhysicsMassProperties.default, material: PhysicsMaterialResource.default, mode: .kinematic)
ballEntity.collision = CollisionComponent(shapes: [.generateSphere(radius: 0.1)], mode: .default, filter: .default)
ballEntity.physicsBody?.isTranslationLocked = (true, true, false)
view.scene.addAnchor(anchor)
And move my ball back in the code:
ballEntity.transform.translation = SIMD3<Float>(0, 0, 1)
If anyone has any ideas please could you let me know ASAP?
Thank you!
Dear Apple Developer Forum Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding an error I encountered while attempting to create a "Hello World" application using Xcode.
Upon launching Xcode and starting a new project, I followed the standard procedure for creating a simple iOS application. However, during the process, I encountered an unexpected error that halted my progress. The error message I received was [insert error message here].
I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by see two images, but unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in resolving it.
I am reaching out to the community in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or have expertise in troubleshooting Xcode errors. Any guidance, suggestions, or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,

Hello everyone, I want to develop an app for vision pro that aims to help people with vertigo and dizziness problems. The problem is that I can not afford vision pro. If I use standart vr set with an iPhone inside would it cause issues on real vision pro?
Hi, Please forgive me if i am asking a basic question. Because after my R&D I didn't see how can I build a solution where user can scan a QR code hanging on a specific wall at a specific fixed position. So when workers scan qr code from their iOS device they could see all the wirings, pipeline e.t.c. It would be really helpful If someone can let me know if its possible with ARKit and how.
When trying to run my app with .windowStyle(.volumetric) for vision OS, this error is returning: Fatal error: Your app was given a scene with session role UISceneSessionRole(_rawValue: UIWindowSceneSessionRoleApplication) but no scenes declared in your App body match this scroll.
Hi, I have a small question. Is it possible to place the entities from a reality view (Immersive space) at the eye level on Y axis? Is it enough to set the position to (x, 0 , z)?
