In visionOS 2, there are several new features and enhancements for Group Activities, particularly in the context of SharePlay and spatial experiences. One of the key updates is the ability to create custom spatial templates, which gives developers complete control over the placement of spatial Personas relative to the shared scene. This allows for unique social experiences, such as arranging participants in a game or activity in a way that best suits the app's needs.
Additionally, the integration with frameworks like TabletopKit allows for seamless social gaming experiences, enabling users to play together using spatial Personas and SharePlay. This integration supports the creation of compelling gameboard experiences and other interactive activities.
