what's table top kit

TabletopKit is a framework introduced by Apple for building spatial multiplayer tabletop experiences specifically for Apple Vision Pro. It allows developers to create games like card games, dice games, or more complex board games. The framework handles gestures, common layouts, and multiplayer networking, enabling developers to focus on designing engaging and innovative experiences.

Key features of TabletopKit include:

• Integration with Familiar Frameworks: It works seamlessly with frameworks like Group Activities and RealityKit, allowing for smooth networking and high-quality rendering.
• Ease of Use: With only a few lines of code, developers can set up a functional game, thanks to smart defaults and convenience functions.
• Customizability: Developers have the freedom to customize the game’s look, feel, and behavior.
• Spatial Personas: It supports spatial Personas in FaceTime, enabling social games where users can play together even when they are not in the same room.
• Multiplayer Support: The framework ensures synchronized game states between players by syncing actions and handling performance-heavy tasks like physics simulations.
