Overview visionOS is the operating system that powers Apple Vision Pro. Use visionOS together with familiar tools and technologies to build immersive apps and games for spatial computing.

Developing for visionOS requires a Mac with Apple silicon. Create new apps using SwiftUI to take full advantage of the spectrum of immersion available in visionOS. If you have an existing iPad or iPhone app, add the visionOS destination to your app’s target to gain access to the standard system appearance, and add platform-specific features to create a compelling experience. To provide continuous access to your content in the meantime, deliver a compatible version of your app that runs in visionOS.
Expand your app into immersive spaces Start with a familiar window-based experience to introduce people to your content. From there, add SwiftUI scene types specific to visionOS, such as volumes and spaces. These scene types let you incorporate depth, 3D objects, and immersive experiences.
Build your app’s 3D content with RealityKit and Reality Composer Pro, and display it with a RealityView. In an immersive experience, use ARKit to integrate your content with the person’s surroundings.

People can select an element by looking at it and tapping their fingers together. They can also pinch, drag, zoom, and rotate objects using specific hand gestures. SwiftUI provides built-in support for these standard gestures, so rely on them for most of your app’s input. When you want to go beyond the standard gestures, use ARKit to create custom gestures.
Dive into featured sample apps Explore the core concepts for all visionOS apps with Hello World. Understand how to detect custom gestures using ARKit with Happy Beam. Discover streaming 2D and stereoscopic media with Destination Video. And learn how to build 3D scenes with RealityKit and Reality Composer Pro with Diorama and Swift Splash.
Hello World
Use windows, volumes, and immersive spaces to teach people about the Earth.
Destination Video
Leverage 3D video and Spatial Audio to deliver an immersive experience.
Happy Beam
Leverage a Full Space to create a fun game using ARKit.
Diorama
Design scenes for your visionOS app using Reality Composer Pro.
Swift Splash
Use RealityKit to create an interactive ride in visionOS.
The operating system for Apple Vision Pro. Use visionOS with familiar tools to build immersive apps and games.
- Windows: Create with SwiftUI, add 3D content.
- Volumes: Use RealityKit or Unity for 3D experiences.
- Spaces: Shared Space for side-by-side apps, Full Space for immersive experiences.
Developing for visionOS: Requires a Mac with Apple silicon.
