To create a spatial notes or drawing app using RealityKit, you can follow the steps outlined in the session Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit. Here is a summary of the key steps:

  1. Set Up Spatial Tracking:

    • Use RealityKit's spatial tracking APIs to understand hand and environment data.
    • Set up hand anchors in VisionOS to track hand poses as you pinch and move your hand.
    • Use anchor entities to affix RealityKit content to AR anchors, such as thumb tip and index fingertip anchors.
  2. Build a User Interface:

    • Create a UI to control the brush and canvas using SwiftUI.
    • Customize the UI with advanced hover effects.
    • Implement a palette view to configure the shape and color of the brush.
  3. Generate Brush Geometry:

    • Use RealityKit APIs to generate brush geometry efficiently with Metal.
    • Customize brush strokes, including solid brush types and sparkle brushes.
    • Adjust brush properties like color and thickness.
  4. Create a Splash Screen:

    • Design an engaging splash screen with dynamic textures and spatial UI elements.
    • Ensure the splash screen provides a quick setup process for users to start drawing.
  5. Use Advanced Features:

    • Utilize new RealityKit APIs to import 2D vector graphics and make them spatial.
    • Integrate RealityKit's physics system for interactive elements.
