Spatial Shapes (visionOS)

Spatial Shapes is a visionOS-only AR tool for Apple Vision Pro. It provides a glass-styled control surface to enter an AR space and add/manage 3D objects.

Table Of Contents​

Availability​

  • Spatial Shapes is available only on visionOS.
  • On iOS/iPadOS, the AR tool provides the AR experience instead.

Enter AR Space​

The right-side controls include an Enter AR Space / Exit AR Space button. You must enter AR Space before you can add objects.

Add Object​

At the top of the screen, the header button changes based on state:

  • Enter AR Space First: shown when AR Space is not active.
  • Add Object...: shown after entering AR Space.

When you tap Add Object..., an overlay picker lets you add:

  • Primitive shapes (for example, basic geometric objects).
  • Bundled assets.
  • Imported files (when supported).

If an object is loading, the tool displays a loading overlay until it is ready.

Object List​

The left card shows the current object list:

  • When empty, it shows an empty-state hint.
  • When populated, you can select an object to focus it, or delete objects from the list.

Selected Object​

The Selected Object card shows:

  • Name
  • Scale
  • Position (X/Y/Z)
  • Rotation (Y)

Wireframe Mode​

Spatial Shapes includes a wireframe mode toggle. When enabled, objects are rendered in wireframe for easier inspection.

Notes And Limitations​

  • The exact set of available objects depends on the build and what assets are bundled or supported for import.
