custom environment

The concept of custom environments was discussed in several sessions at WWDC, particularly focusing on enhancing immersion and optimizing environments for VisionOS. Here are some key points from the sessions:

1. Enhance the immersion of media viewing in custom environments: This session covers how to make media playback more immersive by using custom environments. It discusses the use of the immersive environment picker, reverb components for spatial audio, and how to integrate visuals and sound to enhance the overall experience. You can learn more about these features in the session Enhance the immersion of media viewing in custom environments (14:34).

2. Create custom environments for your immersive apps in VisionOS: This session provides guidelines for designing impactful custom environments, focusing on keeping 3D assets efficient and the role of lighting and texture baking. It also covers the export workflow and how to bring designs from tools like Blender to Reality Composer Pro. For more details, see Create custom environments for your immersive apps in VisionOS (00:49).

3. Optimize your custom environments for VisionOS: This session discusses techniques for optimizing custom environments, including geometry optimization, texture baking, and using procedural tools like Houdini. It emphasizes the importance of adapting environments for real-time performance on Vision Pro. Check out Optimize your custom environments for VisionOS (07:35).

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of how to create, enhance, and optimize custom environments for immersive experiences in VisionOS.
