To build a visionOS app that can recognize all the tables and walls in the room, you can leverage the enhanced scene understanding capabilities in visionOS. Here are the key points and sessions that will help you get started:

  1. Scene Understanding Capabilities:

    • VisionOS has significantly extended the fidelity of its scene understanding capabilities. Planes can now be detected in all orientations, allowing you to anchor objects on surfaces in your surroundings. This includes detecting tables and walls.
    • The concept of room anchors has been introduced, which considers the user's surroundings on a per-room basis. This can help in recognizing and interacting with different rooms and their contents.
    • A new object tracking API allows you to attach content to individual objects found around the user, which can be useful for recognizing and interacting with tables and other objects.

    You can find more details in the Platforms State of the Union session.

  2. Using ARKit and RealityKit:

    • ARKit is a core framework for AR experiences across platforms and powers spatial experiences with a deeper interaction and understanding of the world around the user. This can be particularly useful for recognizing and interacting with tables and walls.
    • RealityKit can be used to create realistic and interactive 3D content that can be anchored to detected planes and objects.

    More information on these frameworks can be found in the Platforms State of the Union session.

  3. Object Tracking:

    • The "Explore object tracking for visionOS" session provides insights into how you can use object tracking to recognize and interact with objects in the room. This includes creating reference objects and anchoring virtual content to them.

    You can explore this in the Explore object tracking for visionOS session.
