The context provided includes several mentions of "metal" in different contexts related to Apple's WWDC sessions. Here are some key points:

  1. RealityKit Audio: In the session "Enhance your spatial computing app with RealityKit audio," materials like metal are used to define audio characteristics for virtual objects. This allows for custom collision sounds based on the materials involved, such as metal beams in a virtual studio environment.

  2. 3D Asset Optimization: In the session "Optimize your 3D assets for spatial computing," metal is discussed in the context of rendering materials. The session explains how to use the environment radiance node in a shader graph to make materials like metal appear more realistic by adding specular reflections without using a full PBR shader.

  3. Rendering with Metal on visionOS: The session "Render Metal with passthrough in visionOS" discusses using Metal for rendering in mixed immersion environments. This session highlights how Metal can be used to create custom rendering pipelines, offering flexibility for developers who need more control over their rendering processes.

  4. Gaming on visionOS: In the session "Bring your iOS or iPadOS game to visionOS," Metal is mentioned as a tool for rendering directly on visionOS, especially when a custom rendering pipeline is needed.
