Apple's current 3D frameworks include:
-
RealityKit: This framework simplifies the process of rendering 3D models with various styles such as realistic, cel-shaded, or cartoon. It supports rich materials, virtual lighting, blend shapes, inverse kinematics, and animation timelines. RealityKit is aligned across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS, making it easier to build for all these platforms simultaneously. (Platforms State of the Union)
-
ARKit: A core framework for AR experiences across platforms, ARKit powers spatial experiences with deep interaction and understanding of the user's environment. It is integral to developing spatial apps for visionOS. (Platforms State of the Union)
-
Metal: For custom rendering pipelines, Metal provides low-level access to the GPU, enabling high-performance graphics and compute tasks. It is particularly useful for apps that require custom rendering beyond what RealityKit offers. (Bring your iOS or iPadOS game to visionOS)
These frameworks are designed to work seamlessly across Apple's platforms, providing developers with powerful tools to create immersive and dynamic 3D experiences.
