new feature in realitykit

At WWDC 2025, several new features were introduced in RealityKit. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Image Presentation Component: This new component allows for presenting images in RealityKit, supporting traditional 2D images, Spatial Photos (stereoscopic photos from iPhone or Vision Pro), and Spatial Scenes (3D images with real depth generated from 2D images). Spatial Scenes provide a diorama-like experience with motion parallax (What’s new in RealityKit).

2. Mesh Instances Component: This component enables efficient rendering of numerous unique variations of an asset, demonstrated by rendering and animating 1,000 distinct objects derived from just five unique assets (What’s new in RealityKit).

3. Environment Blending Component: This feature allows immersive RealityKit apps to blend better with the real world by adding an environment blending component to any entity (What’s new in RealityKit).

4. Post Processing Effects: Custom post-processing effects like Bloom can be added using Metal Performance Shaders, CI filters, or custom shaders, supported across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS (What’s new in RealityKit).

5. SwiftUI Integration: New components like the View Attachment component and Gesture component simplify adding SwiftUI views and gestures to RealityKit entities (What’s new in RealityKit).

These updates enhance the capabilities of RealityKit, making it easier to create immersive 3D experiences across various Apple platforms.
