Using Reality Composer Pro for visionOS
As we saw in the last recipe, we can create 3D objects and display them in AR quite simply in Swift. Another way in which we can create AR scenes is by using a GUI tool that automatically generates an AR scene that we can use directly in our app.
Enter Reality Composer Pro, an Apple tool that does exactly that for the visionOS platform. For more information, check out the link in the See also section.
