If you're building something for a room, a stage, or a tabletop, you'll choose the horizontal anchor. So, for building scenes, first, what's a scene? So, as you may have heard in the introduction to RealityKit and Reality Composer talk, a Reality Composer scene is essentially a collection of entities and it contains an anchor, objects, behaviors, and a physics world.Įvery scene has exactly one anchor, and when you start a project or when you start a scene, any scene, you'll be asked what kind of scene, what kind of experience are you building. And then Abhi's going to take you through building an app. Pau will cover adding behaviors and using physics. So, today I'm going to take you through building scenes. So, Reality Composer is available on macOS, iPhone and iPad, and you can edit on iOS so that you can develop on your regular dev machine and then edit on iOS in order to continue working on the exact same project on iPad or iPhone.Īlternately, you can also just start the project on your iOS devices and take it the other way. And so much about building for augmented reality is in seeing how the experience feels in physical space, looking at it on the intended device and seeing how your audience might see that experience. So, it really speeds up the iteration time on the experience itself.Īnd then finally, everything that you've made in Reality Composer you can take directly into your app in Xcode. Once you've got the experience laid out, you can add simple interactions and animations with the behavior system before you even commit to writing any code. And if you're not familiar, USDZ is just a 3D file format that's supported in Reality Composer. Or, if you prefer, you can use your own USDZs. If you're not familiar with 3D, the first time you ever open a 3D app can be pretty daunting and it can be kind of time consuming to even get started in AR.īut with Reality Composer, it's really easy to just pre-vis and lay out your experiences using the built-in content library. Some of you have already begun and it's been really, really amazing to see what you've all been making, posting, and tagging with Reality Composer. So, first, what is Reality Composer? As you've heard earlier this week, Reality Composer is a tool, an app, to help iOS developers get started in working with 3D and AR.

After this session, you'll know what's provided with Reality Composer, how to set up your experiences in it, and then how to take in- take what you've created in Composer into your app in Xcode.

And today we're going to cover what Reality Composer is and how it can help you create an AR app. I'm Michelle and with me are my colleagues, Pau and Abhi.

We're super excited to be here today to chat with you about Building AR Experiences with Reality Composer. I hope you're all having an awesome WWDC.
