How can I make some text look like it's glowing?

To make text look like it's glowing, you can use custom rendering effects in SwiftUI. Here's a brief overview of how you can achieve this:

Create a Copy of the Text: First, create a copy of the text behind the original drawing.
Apply Blur and Tint: Blur the copy and apply a tint to it. This will give the text a glowing effect.

For example, in the session "What’s new in SwiftUI," a karaoke word highlighting effect is created by making a copy of the text, blurring it, and adding a tint to make it look like it's glowing purple. You can learn more about creating these effects in the session "Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI."

For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in SwiftUI (21:54).

Additionally, if you are working with RealityKit, you can use shader-based hover effects to create glowing effects. For example, in the session "Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit," a shader graph material is used to create a glow effect that sweeps along a brush mesh. You can learn more about this in the session Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit (11:51).
