Flow: User enters app and starts an arkit session with worldtracking and scene reconstruction. User closes app so we stop the session. User re-enters app and we try to run the session but app crashes with error: "It is not possible to re-run a stopped data provider. If we remove code to stop the session, when the user re-enters the app the scene reconstruction doesn't work properly and shows inaccurate meshing data. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here? Any ideas or insight are appreciated

While WorldTrackingProvider.removeAnchor() completes without error, the WorldAnchor might be back the next time the App is run. This can easily be replicated by the ObjectPlacement sample. Just add 10 objects, Remove All, then run App again. The first run the anchors might be gone, but run the App a couple more times and the anchors will come back. This becomes a big problem when paired with the issue that anchors are not always found when the App enter Immersive mode. When an anchor is not found our App will add an anchor. That usually works fine for that run. The next run, however, the other anchors will show up. Anchors accumulate and it becomes difficult to track.

Hello, I tried to build something with scene reconstruction but I want to add occlusion on the Surfaces how can I do that? I tried to create an entity and than apply an Occlusion Material but I received an ShapeResourece and I should pass an MeshResource to create a mesh for the entity and than apply a material. Any suggestions?

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'm developing a motion tracking app that takes requires a real-time view of an iPhone camera to capture the person's body. The motion is mapped to a virtual body. Currently this appears overlayed on the person that the iPhone sees. However, I want to transmit this real time 3D virtual body to a different Apple device, as an AR app, that the other user can place in their environment. Any suggestions on how I can get this 3d model to be viewable by another user (and maintain live updating based on motion tracking)?

Hello there, Do you know what happens if I call one of the following but the Joint is not tracked? var anchorFromJointTransform: simd_float4x4 The position and orientation of this joint relative to the base joint of the skeleton. var parentFromJointTransform: simd_float4x4 The transform from the joint to its parent joint’s coordinate system.

Hello Community, I'm encountering an issue with the latest iOS 17 update, specifically related to RoomPlan version-2. In iOS 16, when using RoomPlan version-1, we were able to display stairs in our app. However, after upgrading to iOS 17 and implementing RoomPlan version-2, the stairs are no longer visible. Despite thorough investigation, I couldn't find any option within the code to show or hide stairs, or any other objects for that matter. It seems like a specific issue with the update rather than a coding error on our part. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? If so, I would greatly appreciate any insights or solutions you might have. It's crucial for our app functionality to have stairs displayed accurately, and we're currently at a loss on how to address this issue. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Best regards

When i call queryDeviceAnchor in my Billboard system I get transform updates but I'm unsure how to process them (similar to the Diorama sample app). Is it a bug that I recieve these updates? The documentation says that ARKit data is only provided in a full space so I would expect this not to work at all. But if this is the case, why am I getting deviceAnchor values in this situation?

I've been recently working on a VisionOS app which uses CoreMl to identify specific body parts and display a window with information of the identified body part, since the use of Vision Pro's cameras is blocked, I'm using an iPhone to perform image classification, and then send the label to the headset using Multipeer Connectivity, I'd like to display a volume once the user selects a body part, could my iPhone return enough spatial information for me to be able to fully take advantage of Vision Pro's mixed reality capabilities?

I was heavily reliant on using ARGeoAnchor in my iOS application and when started porting the app to visionOS encountered there is no equivalent there. Which is a huge bummer and showstopper to launching on Apple Vision Pro. Is there any technical limitation that didn't allow devs to port this great piece of functionality? Can we expect it to be added in the future visionOS releases?

hi I am not sure what is going on... I have been working on this model for a while on reality composer, and had no problem testing it that way...it always worked out perfectly. So I imported the file into a brand new Xcode project... I created a new ARApp, and used SwiftUI. I actually did it twice ... And tested the version apple has with the box. In Apple's version, the app appears but the whole part where it tries to detect planes didn't show up. So I am confused.

I am working with MeshAnchors, and I am having troubles getting to the classification of the triangles/faces. This post references the MeshAnchor.Geometry, and that struct does have a property named "classifications", but it is of type GeometrySource. I cannot find any classification information in GeometrySource. Am I missing something there? I think I am looking for something of type MeshAnchor.MeshClassification, but I cannot find any structs with this as a property.

Hello. I'm developing the app using ARKit and RealityKit. The purpose of the app is to scan the apartment and put furniture next to the walls. It works good, but if AR session takes more than 3 mins at some point app is crashed. According to crash report it's not something related to my code. I'm attaching crash report (company data is hidden). Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I see example code converting the results of a SpatialTap to a SIMD3 location. For example, from WWDC session Meet ARKit for spatial computing: let location3D = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .global, to: .scene) What I really want is a simd_float4x4 that includes orientation of the surface that the tap gesture/cast collided with? My goal is to place an object with its Y-axis along the normal of the surface that was tapped. For example, in the referenced WWDC session, they create a CollisionComponent from the MeshAnchor data. If that mesh data is covering a curved couch cushion, I would like the normal from that curved cushion (i.e., the closest triangle approximating it). Is this possible? My planned fallback is to only use planes for collision surfaces for tap gestures, extract the tap gesture value's entity (which I am hoping is the plane), and grab its transform for the orientation information. I am hoping Apple has a simple function call that is more general than my fallback approach.

Hi, What are the limitations and capabilities of visionOS? I cannot find answers to the questions I have. Let's say you have some USDZ files stored in a cloud service, there are so many of them that the app would be huge if you put them in assets. You want to fetch the one you are interested in and show it while an app is running. Is it possible to load USDZ files at runtime from the network? Is there a limit to how many objects can be visible at once? Let's say I am in an open space, with no walls. I want to place 100 3D objects somewhere in space. Is it possible? What if I placed 500, 1000? Is there a way to save the anchor point of the object? I want to open the app again and have an object in the same place I left it. I would like to arrange my space and have objects always in the same spots. How does the OS behave if objects are in different rooms? Is it possible to walk around, visit different rooms, and have objects anchored there? Would it behave like real objects? Is it possible to color a plane? Let's say there is a wall and it's black. I want this wall to be orange. Is it possible?

Im working on the following problem: For a measurment application i want to take a picture of something laying on the ground, and given i will have the floor plane detecred, i plan to raycast 4 points from the corners of the screens, given the raycast land on this plane, i want to use those coordinates to do a perspective transform (warp) of the camera-image onto the new coordinates. This way i should be able to perform pixel-per-cm measurments. The prolem i have is the screen coordinates dont seem to reflect the camera-frame coordinates, and im not sure how to go from one to another.

Why does PhotogrammetrySession.isSupported return true if Object Capture is supported? It would be great if you could use PhotogrammetrySession on iOS devices without lidar and feed it a folder of pictures to make a 3D model. Thanks!
