Yes, there are APIs to view spatial images in a visionOS app. Specifically, the Quick Look framework provides the preview application API, which supports both spatial photos and videos. This API allows you to spawn a Quick Look scene from inside your own app that hosts your own content, using the full spatial presentation just like the Photos app.
