To get started with RealityKit, you can follow the session Discover RealityKit APIs for iOS, macOS and visionOS. This session provides an introduction to RealityKit, a framework that offers high-performance 3D simulation and rendering capabilities for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. It covers new features and APIs that have been added based on developer feedback, and includes a sample project to help you follow along.

Additionally, you might find the session Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit useful. This session walks you through building a spatial drawing app using RealityKit, integrating its powerful 3D capabilities with SwiftUI and ARKit to create an interactive user experience.

For debugging and troubleshooting, the session Break into the RealityKit debugger introduces the RealityKit debugger, a tool to help you catch and fix common bugs in your RealityKit apps.

Here are the relevant sessions to get you started:

  1. Discover RealityKit APIs for iOS, macOS and visionOS
  2. Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit
  3. Break into the RealityKit debugger

These sessions will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of RealityKit and how to use it effectively in your projects.
