An attachment in Vision Pro refers to the ability to attach virtual content to individual objects found around the user. This functionality allows developers to create interactive experiences by anchoring virtual elements, such as instructions or labels, to physical objects in the user's environment. This feature is part of the object tracking API in visionOS, which enhances the interactivity and usability of applications by providing context-aware information and guidance.
