Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

Can spatial scene function be used outside of the Photo App?

I'm new here so I don't know what's this function belongs to which topic... Sorry about that! I watched the WWDC stream and I am really interested in this function, I'm wondering if this function could be used in my apps. I looked up the document but I find it only support visionOS(i'm not sure about that, but I saw the demo is base on the visionOS)

Hello! There's new API in RealityKit in visionOS 26 to generate and present spatial scenes in your own app. For more information, check out the new ImagePresentationComponent and Spatial3DImage APIs.

The Presenting images in RealityKit sample code project is a great place to get started with these APIs, and the "What's new in RealityKit" video from WWDC25 has a section showing how to use ImagePresentationComponent for spatial scenes.

Note that the spatial scene APIs mentioned above are for visionOS only. Please do file feedback via Feedback Assistant for what you would like to be able to create on iOS.

If it works in iOS26, how to use the gyro and accelerometer to shows the photo in different view?
