Unity launches PolySpatial toolset to help develop XR apps for Vision Pro headset

If you’re looking to start coding for the Apple Vision Pro headset, Unity might be able to help you out.

Unity on Wednesday announced the launch of its toolset for its Unity engine, known as “PolySpatial” to display 3D elements that interact with the real world.

The tool, which was launched as a beta for selected developers, Unity’s PolySpatial technology is now available to all Unity Pro, Enterprise, and Industry subscribers. Developers can now take advantage of “Unity’s familiar authoring workflows, robust XR tools, and cross-platform compatibility to create immersive spatial experiences” for Vision Pro.

Popular apps that have been ported to visionOS using the Unity tools include LEGO Builder Journey as well as TRIPP, an XR wellness platform.

In order to develop immersive experiences with Unity for Apple Vision Pro, users will need to download the latest version of Unity 2022 LTS and ensure that the visionOS build target is installed. It’s worth noting that developing visionOS apps requires an Apple Silicon Mac to install and run.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
