Yes, you can use RealityKit without the camera to display 3D objects in an app. RealityKit is a framework that provides high-performance 3D simulation and rendering capabilities for apps on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. It allows you to create immersive spatial computing apps and games, and you can use it to render 3D content without necessarily using the camera for augmented reality experiences. This means you can build applications that display 3D objects in a virtual environment or on a static background without requiring camera input.
