We're working on an article to summarize everything we know about Manipulation on visionOS 26. We'd love to hear how you're using Manipulation Component and/or manipulable in your apps.

RealityKit experiment #79
(code in the replies)

Animating 3D text by converting the output of MeshResource(extruding:) to a LowLevelMesh and applying a Metal compute shader

The MeshResource was interesting to unpack since it had multiple models/parts plus instance transforms

🌊 A classic shader trick: interlacing two normal maps for a water effect. Efficient and convincing, especially when viewed from above.
Built in Reality Composer Pro with shader graph.

This is a great introduction to Custom Layouts in SwiftUI. We can build on these concepts to create some really interesting Spatial Layouts in visionOS 26.

An addendum to our series on Manipulation Component. We can use chirality and kind to customize behavior based on the user's hand or input device.
