To follow up from the spatialOverlay example, we can also define custom alignment points using AlignmentID. This examples shows points on the front a volume, you can do this with depth inside the volume too!

We can use Image Presentation Events to update our UI or environment when transitioning between viewing modes.
Caveat: not all transitions fire the TransitionStarted event.

Let's take a quick look (haha) at the viewing modes with Image Presentation Component. Available modes depend on the type of image being presented.

spatialOverlay in visionOS 26 allows us to create 2D and 3D overlays on SwiftUI Views. This is really useful with Model3D view. We can select from some preset anchors to position these.

Questions for my fellow visionOS & XR creators. How did you integrate AI in your workflow? What tools are you using now to speed up development? I'm preparing a talk on this subject. Would love your input on this 🧐

Image Presentation Component allows us to display Standard and Spatial Photos. We can also generate Spatial Scenes from existing photos.

We can use rotation3DLayout in visionOS 26 when we need our rotation to impact the SwiftUI layout. Here it is compared to rotation3DEffect

This one may not be obvious, but we can target more than one entity in "Select Collider Objects" mode
The OnCollision Behavior can fire a Timeline when colliding with more than one Entity.

This is a good concept to add to your mental toolbox if you work with Timelines in Reality Composer Pro. This one was hard to explain so I hope it makes sense 🙃
We can use Behaviors in a parent scene to trigger Timelines in a child scene. This can help keep our timeline sections, by defining them with their entities.

Based on the VisionPro projects sent my way, if you're a tech artist and able to build in Reality Composer Pro, you can probably get some sweet gigs. The downside is that you'll need to be more creative on how to get things done.
