# SceneView SceneView is a declarative 3D and AR SDK for Android (Jetpack Compose, Filament, ARCore) and Apple platforms — iOS, macOS, visionOS (SwiftUI, RealityKit, ARKit) — with shared core logic via Kotlin Multiplatform. Each platform uses its native renderer: Filament on Android, RealityKit on Apple. **Android — Maven artifacts (version 4.0.1):** - 3D only: `io.github.sceneview:sceneview:4.0.1` - AR + 3D: `io.github.sceneview:arsceneview:4.0.1` **Apple (iOS 17+ / macOS 14+ / visionOS 1+) — Swift Package:** - `https://github.com/sceneview/sceneview-swift.git` (from: "4.0.0") **Min SDK:** 24 | **Target SDK:** 36 | **Kotlin:** 2.3.20 | **Compose BOM compatible** --- ## Setup ### build.gradle (app module) ```kotlin dependencies { implementation("io.github.sceneview:sceneview:4.0.1") // 3D only implementation("io.github.sceneview:arsceneview:4.0.1") // AR (includes sceneview) } ``` ### AndroidManifest.xml (AR apps) ```xml ``` --- ## Core Composables ### SceneView — 3D viewport Full signature: ```kotlin @Composable fun SceneView( modifier: Modifier = Modifier, surfaceType: SurfaceType = SurfaceType.Surface, engine: Engine = rememberEngine(), modelLoader: ModelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine), materialLoader: MaterialLoader = rememberMaterialLoader(engine), environmentLoader: EnvironmentLoader = rememberEnvironmentLoader(engine), view: View = rememberView(engine), isOpaque: Boolean = true, renderer: Renderer = rememberRenderer(engine), scene: Scene = rememberScene(engine), environment: Environment = rememberEnvironment(environmentLoader, isOpaque = isOpaque), mainLightNode: LightNode?

= rememberCameraManipulator(cameraNode.worldPosition), viewNodeWindowManager: ViewNode.WindowManager? = null, onGestureListener: GestureDetector.OnGestureListener? = rememberOnGestureListener(), onTouchEvent: ((e: MotionEvent, hitResult: HitResult?) -> Boolean)? = null, permissionHandler: ARPermissionHandler? = /* auto from ComponentActivity */, lifecycle: Lifecycle = LocalLifecycleOwner.current.lifecycle, onFrame: ((frameTimeNanos: Long) -> Unit)? = null, content: (@Composable SceneScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Minimal usage: ```kotlin @Composable fun My3DScreen() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val environmentLoader = rememberEnvironmentLoader(engine) SceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, cameraManipulator = rememberCameraManipulator(), environment = rememberEnvironment(environmentLoader) { environmentLoader.createHDREnvironment("environments/sky_2k.hdr") ?: createEnvironment(environmentLoader) }, mainLightNode = rememberMainLightNode(engine) { intensity = 100_000f } ) { rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb")?.let { instance -> ModelNode(modelInstance = instance, scaleToUnits = 1.0f) } } } ``` ### ARSceneView — AR viewport Full signature: ```kotlin @Composable fun ARSceneView( modifier: Modifier = Modifier, surfaceType: SurfaceType = SurfaceType.Surface, engine: Engine = rememberEngine(), modelLoader: ModelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine), materialLoader: MaterialLoader = rememberMaterialLoader(engine), environmentLoader: EnvironmentLoader = rememberEnvironmentLoader(engine), sessionFeatures: Set = setOf(), sessionCameraConfig: ((Session) -> CameraConfig)? = null, sessionConfiguration: ((session: Session, Config) -> Unit)? = null, planeRenderer: Boolean = true, cameraStream: ARCameraStream? = rememberARCameraStream(materialLoader), view: View = rememberARView(engine), isOpaque: Boolean = true, cameraExposure: Float? = null, renderer: Renderer = rememberRenderer(engine), scene: Scene = rememberScene(engine), environment: Environment = rememberAREnvironment(engine), mainLightNode: LightNode? = rememberMainLightNode(engine), cameraNode: ARCameraNode = rememberARCameraNode(engine), collisionSystem: CollisionSystem = rememberCollisionSystem(view), viewNodeWindowManager: ViewNode.WindowManager?

= rememberOnGestureListener(), onTouchEvent: ((e: MotionEvent, hitResult: HitResult?) -> Boolean)? = null, permissionHandler: ARPermissionHandler? = /* auto from ComponentActivity */, lifecycle: Lifecycle = LocalLifecycleOwner.current.lifecycle, content: (@Composable ARSceneScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Minimal usage: ```kotlin @Composable fun MyARScreen() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) ARSceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, planeRenderer = true, sessionConfiguration = { session, config -> config.depthMode = Config.DepthMode.AUTOMATIC config.instantPlacementMode = Config.InstantPlacementMode.LOCAL_Y_UP config.lightEstimationMode = Config.LightEstimationMode.ENVIRONMENTAL_HDR }, onSessionCreated = { session -> /* ARCore session ready */ }, onSessionResumed = { session -> /* session resumed */ }, onSessionFailed = { exception -> /* ARCore init error — show fallback UI */ }, onSessionUpdated = { session, frame -> /* per-frame AR logic */ }, onTrackingFailureChanged = { reason -> /* camera tracking lost/restored */ } ) { // ARSceneScope DSL here — AnchorNode, AugmentedImageNode, etc. } } ``` --- ## SceneScope — Node DSL All content inside `SceneView { }` or `ARSceneView { }` is a `SceneScope`. Available properties: - `engine: Engine` - `modelLoader: ModelLoader` - `materialLoader: MaterialLoader` - `environmentLoader: EnvironmentLoader` ### Node — empty pivot/group ```kotlin @Composable fun Node( position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(x = 1f), isVisible: Boolean = true, isEditable: Boolean = false, apply: Node.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Usage — group nodes: ```kotlin SceneView(...) { Node(position = Position(y = 1f)) { ModelNode(modelInstance = instance, position = Position(x = -1f)) CubeNode(size = Size(0.1f), position = Position(x = 1f)) } } ``` ### ModelNode — 3D model ```kotlin @Composable fun ModelNode( modelInstance: ModelInstance, autoAnimate: Boolean = true, animationName: String? = null, animationLoop: Boolean = true, animationSpeed: Float = 1f, scaleToUnits: Float? = null, centerOrigin: Position? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(x = 1f), isVisible: Boolean = true, isEditable: Boolean = false, apply: ModelNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Key behaviors: - `scaleToUnits`: uniformly scales to fit within a cube of this size (meters). `null` = original size. - `centerOrigin`: `Position(0,0,0)` = center model. `Position(0,-1,0)` = center horizontal, bottom-aligned. `null` = keep original. - `autoAnimate = true` + `animationName = null`: plays ALL animations. - `animationName = "Walk"`: plays only that named animation (stops previous). Reactive to Compose state. Reactive animation example: ```kotlin var isWalking by remember { mutableStateOf(false) } SceneView(...) { instance?.let { ModelNode( modelInstance = it, autoAnimate = false, animationName = if (isWalking) "Walk" else "Idle", animationLoop = true, animationSpeed = 1f ) } } // When animationName changes, the previous animation stops and the new one starts. ``` ModelNode class properties (available via `apply` block): - `renderableNodes: List` — submesh nodes - `lightNodes: List` — embedded lights - `cameraNodes: List` — embedded cameras - `boundingBox: Box` — glTF AABB - `animationCount: Int` - `isShadowCaster: Boolean` - `isShadowReceiver: Boolean` - `materialVariantNames: List` - `skinCount: Int`, `skinNames: List` - `playAnimation(index: Int, speed: Float = 1f, loop: Boolean = true)` - `playAnimation(name: String, speed: Float = 1f, loop: Boolean = true)` - `stopAnimation(index: Int)`, `stopAnimation(name: String)` - `setAnimationSpeed(index: Int, speed: Float)` - `scaleToUnitCube(units: Float = 1.0f)` - `centerOrigin(origin: Position = Position(0f, 0f, 0f))` - `onFrameError: ((Exception) -> Unit)?` — callback for frame errors (default: logs via Log.e) ### LightNode — light source **CRITICAL: `apply` is a named parameter (`apply = { ... }`), NOT a trailing lambda.** ```kotlin @Composable fun LightNode( type: LightManager.Type, intensity: Float? = null, // lux (directional/sun) or candela (point/spot) direction: Direction? = null, // for directional/spot/sun position: Position = Position(x = 0f), apply: LightManager.Builder.() -> Unit = {}, // advanced: color, falloff, spotLightCone, etc. nodeApply: LightNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` `LightManager.Type` values: `DIRECTIONAL`, `POINT`, `SPOT`, `FOCUSED_SPOT`, `SUN`. ```kotlin SceneView(...) { // Simple — use explicit params (recommended): LightNode( type = LightManager.Type.SUN, intensity = 100_000f, direction = Direction(0f, -1f, 0f), apply = { castShadows(true) } ) // Advanced — use apply for full Builder access: LightNode( type = LightManager.Type.SPOT, intensity = 50_000f, position = Position(2f, 3f, 0f), apply = { falloff(5.0f); spotLightCone(0.1f, 0.5f) } ) } ``` ### CubeNode — box geometry ```kotlin @Composable fun CubeNode( size: Size = Cube.DEFAULT_SIZE, // Size(1f, 1f, 1f) center: Position = Cube.DEFAULT_CENTER, // Position(0f, 0f, 0f) materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: CubeNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### SphereNode — sphere geometry ```kotlin @Composable fun SphereNode( radius: Float = Sphere.DEFAULT_RADIUS, // 0.5f center: Position = Sphere.DEFAULT_CENTER, stacks: Int = Sphere.DEFAULT_STACKS, // 24 slices: Int = Sphere.DEFAULT_SLICES, // 24 materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: SphereNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### CylinderNode — cylinder geometry ```kotlin @Composable fun CylinderNode( radius: Float = Cylinder.DEFAULT_RADIUS, // 0.5f height: Float = Cylinder.DEFAULT_HEIGHT, // 2.0f center: Position = Cylinder.DEFAULT_CENTER, sideCount: Int = Cylinder.DEFAULT_SIDE_COUNT, // 24 materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: CylinderNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### ConeNode — cone geometry ```kotlin @Composable fun ConeNode( radius: Float = Cone.DEFAULT_RADIUS, // 1.0f height: Float = Cone.DEFAULT_HEIGHT, // 2.0f center: Position = Cone.DEFAULT_CENTER, sideCount: Int = Cone.DEFAULT_SIDE_COUNT, // 24 materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: ConeNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### TorusNode — torus (donut) geometry ```kotlin @Composable fun TorusNode( majorRadius: Float = Torus.DEFAULT_MAJOR_RADIUS, // 1.0f (ring centre) minorRadius: Float = Torus.DEFAULT_MINOR_RADIUS, // 0.3f (tube thickness) center: Position = Torus.DEFAULT_CENTER, majorSegments: Int = Torus.DEFAULT_MAJOR_SEGMENTS, // 32 minorSegments: Int = Torus.DEFAULT_MINOR_SEGMENTS, // 16 materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: TorusNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### CapsuleNode — capsule (cylinder + hemisphere caps) ```kotlin @Composable fun CapsuleNode( radius: Float = Capsule.DEFAULT_RADIUS, // 0.5f height: Float = Capsule.DEFAULT_HEIGHT, // 2.0f (cylinder section; total = h + 2r) center: Position = Capsule.DEFAULT_CENTER, capStacks: Int = Capsule.DEFAULT_CAP_STACKS, // 8 sideSlices: Int = Capsule.DEFAULT_SIDE_SLICES, // 24 materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: CapsuleNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### PlaneNode — flat quad ```kotlin @Composable fun PlaneNode( size: Size = Plane.DEFAULT_SIZE, center: Position = Plane.DEFAULT_CENTER, normal: Direction = Plane.DEFAULT_NORMAL, uvScale: UvScale = UvScale(1.0f), materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: PlaneNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### Geometry nodes — material creation Geometry nodes accept `materialInstance: MaterialInstance?`. Create materials via `materialLoader`: ```kotlin SceneView(...) { val redMaterial = remember(materialLoader) { materialLoader.createColorInstance(Color.Red, metallic = 0f, roughness = 0.6f) } CubeNode(size = Size(0.5f), center = Position(0f, 0.25f, 0f), materialInstance = redMaterial) SphereNode(radius = 0.3f, materialInstance = blueMaterial) CylinderNode(radius = 0.2f, height = 1.0f, materialInstance = greenMaterial) ConeNode(radius = 0.3f, height = 0.8f, materialInstance = yellowMaterial) TorusNode(majorRadius = 0.5f, minorRadius = 0.15f, materialInstance = purpleMaterial) CapsuleNode(radius = 0.2f, height = 0.6f, materialInstance = orangeMaterial) PlaneNode(size = Size(5f, 5f), materialInstance = greyMaterial) } ``` ### ImageNode — image on plane (3 overloads) ```kotlin // From Bitmap @Composable fun ImageNode( bitmap: Bitmap, size: Size? = null, // null = auto from aspect ratio center: Position = Plane.DEFAULT_CENTER, normal: Direction = Plane.DEFAULT_NORMAL, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: ImageNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) // From asset file path @Composable fun ImageNode( imageFileLocation: String, size: Size? = null, center: Position = Plane.DEFAULT_CENTER, normal: Direction = Plane.DEFAULT_NORMAL, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: ImageNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) // From drawable resource @Composable fun ImageNode( @DrawableRes imageResId: Int, size: Size? = null, center: Position = Plane.DEFAULT_CENTER, normal: Direction = Plane.DEFAULT_NORMAL, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: ImageNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)?

= null, apply: TextNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Reactive: `text`, `fontSize`, `textColor`, `backgroundColor`, `position`, `scale` update on recomposition. ### BillboardNode — always-facing-camera sprite ```kotlin @Composable fun BillboardNode( bitmap: Bitmap, widthMeters: Float? = null, heightMeters: Float? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), cameraPositionProvider: (() -> Position)? = null, apply: BillboardNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### VideoNode — video on 3D plane ```kotlin // Simple — asset path (recommended): @ExperimentalSceneViewApi @Composable fun VideoNode( videoPath: String, // e.g. "videos/promo.mp4" autoPlay: Boolean = true, isLooping: Boolean = true, chromaKeyColor: Int? = null, size: Size? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: VideoNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) // Advanced — bring your own MediaPlayer: @Composable fun VideoNode( player: MediaPlayer, chromaKeyColor: Int? = null, size: Size? = null, // null = auto-sized from video aspect ratio position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: VideoNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Usage (simple): ```kotlin SceneView { VideoNode(videoPath = "videos/promo.mp4", position = Position(z = -2f)) } ``` Usage (advanced — custom MediaPlayer): ```kotlin val player = rememberMediaPlayer(context, assetFileLocation = "videos/promo.mp4") SceneView(...) { player?.let { VideoNode(player = it, position = Position(z = -2f)) } } ``` ### ViewNode — Compose UI in 3D **Requires `viewNodeWindowManager` on the parent `Scene`.** ```kotlin @Composable fun ViewNode( windowManager: ViewNode.WindowManager, unlit: Boolean = false, invertFrontFaceWinding: Boolean = false, apply: ViewNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null, viewContent: @Composable () -> Unit // the Compose UI to render ) ``` Usage: ```kotlin val windowManager = rememberViewNodeManager() SceneView(viewNodeWindowManager = windowManager) { ViewNode(windowManager = windowManager) { Card { Text("Hello 3D World!") } } } ``` ### LineNode — single line segment ```kotlin @Composable fun LineNode( start: Position = Line.DEFAULT_START, end: Position = Line.DEFAULT_END, materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: LineNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### PathNode — polyline through points ```kotlin @Composable fun PathNode( points: List = Path.DEFAULT_POINTS, closed: Boolean = false, materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: PathNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### MeshNode — custom geometry ```kotlin @Composable fun MeshNode( primitiveType: RenderableManager.PrimitiveType, vertexBuffer: VertexBuffer, indexBuffer: IndexBuffer, boundingBox: Box? = null, materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, apply: MeshNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### ShapeNode — 2D polygon shape ```kotlin @Composable fun ShapeNode( polygonPath: List = listOf(), polygonHoles: List = listOf(), delaunayPoints: List = listOf(), normal: Direction = Shape.DEFAULT_NORMAL, uvScale: UvScale = UvScale(1.0f), color: Color? = null, materialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, position: Position = Position(x = 0f), rotation: Rotation = Rotation(x = 0f), scale: Scale = Scale(1f), apply: ShapeNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Renders a triangulated 2D polygon in 3D space. Supports holes, Delaunay refinement, and vertex colors. ### PhysicsNode — simple rigid-body physics ```kotlin @Composable fun PhysicsNode( node: Node, mass: Float = 1f, restitution: Float = 0.6f, linearVelocity: Position = Position(0f, 0f, 0f), floorY: Float = 0f, radius: Float = 0f ) ``` Attaches gravity + floor bounce to an existing node. Does NOT add the node to the scene — the node must already exist. Uses Euler integration at 9.8 m/s² with configurable restitution and floor. ```kotlin SceneView { val sphere = remember(engine) { SphereNode(engine, radius = 0.15f) } PhysicsNode(node = sphere, restitution = 0.7f, linearVelocity = Position(0f, 3f, 0f), radius = 0.15f) } ``` ### DynamicSkyNode — time-of-day sun lighting ```kotlin @Composable fun SceneScope.DynamicSkyNode( timeOfDay: Float = 12f, // 0-24: 0=midnight, 6=sunrise, 12=noon, 18=sunset turbidity: Float = 2f, // atmospheric haze [1.0, 10.0] sunIntensity: Float = 110_000f // lux at solar noon ) ``` Creates a SUN light whose colour, intensity and direction update with `timeOfDay`. Sun rises at 6h, peaks at 12h, sets at 18h. Colour: cool blue (night) → warm orange (horizon) → white-yellow (noon). ```kotlin SceneView { DynamicSkyNode(timeOfDay = 14.5f) ModelNode(modelInstance = instance!!) } ``` ### SecondaryCamera — secondary camera (formerly CameraNode) ```kotlin @Composable fun SecondaryCamera( apply: CameraNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` **Note:** Does NOT become the active rendering camera. The main camera is set via `SceneView(cameraNode = ...)`. `CameraNode()` composable is deprecated — use `SecondaryCamera()` instead. ### ReflectionProbeNode — local IBL override ```kotlin @Composable fun ReflectionProbeNode( filamentScene: FilamentScene, environment: Environment, position: Position = Position(0f, 0f, 0f), radius: Float = 0f, // 0 = global (always active) priority: Int = 0, cameraPosition: Position = Position(0f, 0f, 0f) ) ``` --- ## ARSceneScope — AR Node DSL `ARSceneScope` extends `SceneScope` with AR-specific composables. All `SceneScope` nodes (ModelNode, CubeNode, etc.) are also available. **⚠️ Important nesting rule:** AR composables (`AnchorNode`, `CloudAnchorNode`, `AugmentedImageNode`, etc.) can only be declared at the `ARSceneView { }` root level — they are NOT available inside `Node { content }` or other node's `content` blocks. To nest models under an anchor, use `AnchorNode(anchor) { ModelNode(...) }` — the `content` block of `AnchorNode` provides a regular `NodeScope`. ### AnchorNode — pin to real world ```kotlin @Composable fun AnchorNode( anchor: Anchor, updateAnchorPose: Boolean = true, visibleTrackingStates: Set = setOf(TrackingState.TRACKING), onTrackingStateChanged: ((TrackingState) -> Unit)? = null, onAnchorChanged: ((Anchor) -> Unit)? = null, onUpdated: ((Anchor) -> Unit)? = null, apply: AnchorNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Usage: ```kotlin var anchor by remember { mutableStateOf(null) } ARSceneView( onSessionUpdated = { _, frame -> if (anchor == null) { anchor = frame.getUpdatedPlanes() .firstOrNull { it.type == Plane.Type.HORIZONTAL_UPWARD_FACING } ?.let { frame.createAnchorOrNull(it.centerPose) } } } ) { anchor?.let { a -> AnchorNode(anchor = a) { ModelNode(modelInstance = instance!!, scaleToUnits = 0.5f, isEditable = true) } } } ``` ### PoseNode — position at ARCore Pose ```kotlin @Composable fun PoseNode( pose: Pose = Pose.IDENTITY, visibleCameraTrackingStates: Set = setOf(TrackingState.TRACKING), onPoseChanged: ((Pose) -> Unit)? = null, apply: PoseNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### HitResultNode — surface cursor (2 overloads) **Recommended — screen-coordinate hit test** (most common for placement cursors): ```kotlin @Composable fun HitResultNode( xPx: Float, // screen X in pixels (use viewWidth / 2f for center) yPx: Float, // screen Y in pixels (use viewHeight / 2f for center) planeTypes: Set = Plane.Type.entries.toSet(), point: Boolean = true, depthPoint: Boolean = true, instantPlacementPoint: Boolean = true, // ... other filters with sensible defaults ... apply: HitResultNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` **Custom hit test** (full control): ```kotlin @Composable fun HitResultNode( hitTest: HitResultNode.(Frame) -> HitResult?, apply: HitResultNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` Typical center-screen placement cursor: ```kotlin ARSceneView(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) { // Place a cursor at screen center — follows detected surfaces HitResultNode(xPx = viewWidth / 2f, yPx = viewHeight / 2f) { CubeNode(size = Size(0.05f)) // small indicator cube } } ``` ### AugmentedImageNode — image tracking ```kotlin @Composable fun AugmentedImageNode( augmentedImage: AugmentedImage, applyImageScale: Boolean = false, visibleTrackingMethods: Set = setOf(TrackingMethod.FULL_TRACKING, TrackingMethod.LAST_KNOWN_POSE), onTrackingStateChanged: ((TrackingState) -> Unit)? = null, onTrackingMethodChanged: ((TrackingMethod) -> Unit)? = null, onUpdated: ((AugmentedImage) -> Unit)? = null, apply: AugmentedImageNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### AugmentedFaceNode — face mesh ```kotlin @Composable fun AugmentedFaceNode( augmentedFace: AugmentedFace, meshMaterialInstance: MaterialInstance? = null, onTrackingStateChanged: ((TrackingState) -> Unit)? = null, onUpdated: ((AugmentedFace) -> Unit)? = null, apply: AugmentedFaceNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### CloudAnchorNode — cross-device persistent anchors ```kotlin @Composable fun CloudAnchorNode( anchor: Anchor, cloudAnchorId: String? = null, onTrackingStateChanged: ((TrackingState) -> Unit)? = null, onUpdated: ((Anchor?) -> Unit)? = null, onHosted: ((cloudAnchorId: String?, state: Anchor.CloudAnchorState) -> Unit)? = null, apply: CloudAnchorNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` ### TrackableNode — generic trackable ```kotlin @Composable fun TrackableNode( trackable: Trackable, visibleTrackingStates: Set = setOf(TrackingState.TRACKING), onTrackingStateChanged: ((TrackingState) -> Unit)? = null, onUpdated: ((Trackable) -> Unit)? = null, apply: TrackableNode.() -> Unit = {}, content: (@Composable NodeScope.() -> Unit)? = null ) ``` --- ## Node Properties & Interaction All composable node types share these properties (settable via `apply` block or the parameters): ```kotlin // Transform node.position = Position(x = 1f, y = 0f, z = -2f) // meters node.rotation = Rotation(x = 0f, y = 45f, z = 0f) // degrees node.scale = Scale(x = 1f, y = 1f, z = 1f) node.quaternion = Quaternion(...) node.transform = Transform(position, quaternion, scale) // World-space transforms (read/write) node.worldPosition, node.worldRotation, node.worldScale, node.worldQuaternion, node.worldTransform // Visibility node.isVisible = true // also hides all children when false // Interaction node.isTouchable = true node.isEditable = true // pinch-scale, drag-move, two-finger-rotate node.isPositionEditable = false // requires isEditable = true node.isRotationEditable = true // requires isEditable = true node.isScaleEditable = true // requires isEditable = true node.editableScaleRange = 0.1f..10.0f node.scaleGestureSensitivity = 0.5f // Smooth transform node.isSmoothTransformEnabled = false node.smoothTransformSpeed = 5.0f // Hit testing node.isHittable = true // Naming node.name = "myNode" // Orientation node.lookAt(targetWorldPosition, upDirection) node.lookTowards(lookDirection, upDirection) // Animation utilities (on any Node) node.animatePositions(...) node.animateRotations(...) ``` --- ## Resource Loading ### rememberModelInstance (composable, async) ```kotlin // Load from local asset @Composable fun rememberModelInstance( modelLoader: ModelLoader, assetFileLocation: String ): ModelInstance? // Load from any location (local asset, file path, or HTTP/HTTPS URL) @Composable fun rememberModelInstance( modelLoader: ModelLoader, fileLocation: String, resourceResolver: (resourceFileName: String) -> String = { ModelLoader.getFolderPath(fileLocation, it) } ): ModelInstance? ``` Returns `null` while loading, recomposes when ready. **Always handle the null case.** The `fileLocation` overload auto-detects URLs (http/https) and routes through Fuel HTTP client for download. Use it for remote model loading: ```kotlin val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "https://example.com/model.glb") ``` ### ModelLoader (imperative) ```kotlin class ModelLoader(engine: Engine, context: Context) { // Synchronous — MUST be called on main thread fun createModelInstance(assetFileLocation: String): ModelInstance fun createModelInstance(buffer: Buffer): ModelInstance fun createModelInstance(@RawRes rawResId: Int): ModelInstance fun createModelInstance(file: File): ModelInstance // releaseSourceData (default true): frees the raw buffer after Filament parses the model. // Set to false only when you need to re-instantiate the same model multiple times. fun createModel(assetFileLocation: String, releaseSourceData: Boolean = true): Model fun createModel(buffer: Buffer, releaseSourceData: Boolean = true): Model fun createModel(@RawRes rawResId: Int, releaseSourceData: Boolean = true): Model fun createModel(file: File, releaseSourceData: Boolean = true): Model // Async — safe from any thread suspend fun loadModel(fileLocation: String): Model? fun loadModelAsync(fileLocation: String, onResult: (Model?) -> Unit): Job suspend fun loadModelInstance(fileLocation: String): ModelInstance? fun loadModelInstanceAsync(fileLocation: String, onResult: (ModelInstance?) -> Unit): Job } ``` ### MaterialLoader ```kotlin class MaterialLoader(engine: Engine, context: Context) { // Color material — MUST be called on main thread fun createColorInstance( color: Color, metallic: Float = 0.0f, // 0 = dielectric, 1 = metal roughness: Float = 0.4f, // 0 = mirror, 1 = matte reflectance: Float = 0.5f // Fresnel reflectance ): MaterialInstance // Also accepts: fun createColorInstance(color: androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color, ...): MaterialInstance fun createColorInstance(color: Int, ...): MaterialInstance // Texture material fun createTextureInstance(texture: Texture, ...): MaterialInstance // Custom .filamat material fun createMaterial(assetFileLocation: String): Material fun createMaterial(payload: Buffer): Material suspend fun loadMaterial(fileLocation: String): Material? fun createInstance(material: Material): MaterialInstance } ``` ### EnvironmentLoader ```kotlin class EnvironmentLoader(engine: Engine, context: Context) { // HDR environment — MUST be called on main thread fun createHDREnvironment( assetFileLocation: String, indirectLightSpecularFilter: Boolean = true, createSkybox: Boolean = true ): Environment? fun createHDREnvironment(buffer: Buffer, ...): Environment? // KTX environment fun createKTXEnvironment(assetFileLocation: String): Environment fun createEnvironment( indirectLight: IndirectLight? = null, skybox: Skybox? = null ): Environment } ``` --- ## Remember Helpers Reference All `remember*` helpers create and memoize Filament objects, destroying them on disposal. Most are default parameter values in `SceneView`/`ARSceneView` — call them explicitly only when sharing resources or customizing. | Helper | Returns | Purpose | |--------|---------|---------| | `rememberEngine()` | `Engine` | Root Filament object — one per process | | `rememberModelLoader(engine)` | `ModelLoader` | Loads glTF/GLB models | | `rememberMaterialLoader(engine)` | `MaterialLoader` | Creates material instances | | `rememberEnvironmentLoader(engine)` | `EnvironmentLoader` | Loads HDR/KTX environments | | `rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, path)` | `ModelInstance?` | Async model load — null while loading | | `rememberEnvironment(environmentLoader, isOpaque)` | `Environment` | IBL + skybox environment | | `rememberEnvironment(environmentLoader) { ... }` | `Environment` | Custom environment from lambda | | `rememberCameraNode(engine) { ... }` | `CameraNode` | Custom camera with apply block | | `rememberMainLightNode(engine) { ... }` | `LightNode` | Primary directional light with apply block | | `rememberCameraManipulator(orbitHomePosition?, targetPosition?)` | `CameraManipulator?` | Orbit/pan/zoom camera controller | | `rememberOnGestureListener(...)` | `OnGestureListener` | Gesture callbacks for tap/drag/pinch | | `rememberViewNodeManager()` | `ViewNode.WindowManager` | Required for ViewNode composables | | `rememberView(engine)` | `View` | Filament view (one per viewport) | | `rememberARView(engine)` | `View` | AR-tuned view (linear tone mapper) | | `rememberRenderer(engine)` | `Renderer` | Filament renderer (one per window) | | `rememberScene(engine)` | `Scene` | Filament scene graph | | `rememberCollisionSystem(view)` | `CollisionSystem` | Hit-testing system | | `rememberNode(engine) { ... }` | `Node` | Generic node with apply block | | `rememberMediaPlayer(context, assetFileLocation)` | `MediaPlayer?` | Auto-lifecycle video player (null while loading) | **AR-specific helpers** (from `arsceneview` module): | Helper | Returns | Purpose | |--------|---------|---------| | `rememberARCameraNode(engine)` | `ARCameraNode` | AR camera (updated by ARCore each frame) | | `rememberARCameraStream(materialLoader)` | `ARCameraStream` | Camera feed background texture | | `rememberAREnvironment(engine)` | `Environment` | No-skybox environment for AR | **NOTE:** There is NO `rememberMaterialInstance` function. Create materials with `materialLoader.createColorInstance(...)` inside a `remember` block: ```kotlin val mat = remember(materialLoader) { materialLoader.createColorInstance(Color.Red, metallic = 0f, roughness = 0.4f) } ``` --- ## Camera ```kotlin // Orbit / pan / zoom (default) SceneView(cameraManipulator = rememberCameraManipulator( orbitHomePosition = Position(x = 0f, y = 2f, z = 4f), targetPosition = Position(x = 0f, y = 0f, z = 0f) )) // Custom camera position SceneView(cameraNode = rememberCameraNode(engine) { position = Position(x = 0f, y = 2f, z = 5f) lookAt(Position(0f, 0f, 0f)) }) // Main light shortcut (apply block is LightNode.() -> Unit) SceneView(mainLightNode = rememberMainLightNode(engine) { intensity = 100_000f }) ``` --- ## Gestures ```kotlin SceneView( onGestureListener = rememberOnGestureListener( onDown = { event, node -> }, onShowPress = { event, node -> }, onSingleTapUp = { event, node -> }, onSingleTapConfirmed = { event, node -> }, onDoubleTap = { event, node -> node?.let { it.scale = Scale(2f) } }, onDoubleTapEvent = { event, node -> }, onLongPress = { event, node -> }, onContextClick = { event, node -> }, onScroll = { e1, e2, node, distance -> }, onFling = { e1, e2, node, velocity -> }, onMove = { detector, node -> }, onMoveBegin = { detector, node -> }, onMoveEnd = { detector, node -> }, onRotate = { detector, node -> }, onRotateBegin = { detector, node -> }, onRotateEnd = { detector, node -> }, onScale = { detector, node -> }, onScaleBegin = { detector, node -> }, onScaleEnd = { detector, node -> } ), onTouchEvent = { event, hitResult -> false } ) ``` --- ## Math Types ```kotlin import io.github.sceneview.math.Position // Float3, meters import io.github.sceneview.math.Rotation // Float3, degrees import io.github.sceneview.math.Scale // Float3 import io.github.sceneview.math.Direction // Float3, unit vector import io.github.sceneview.math.Size // Float3 import io.github.sceneview.math.Transform // Mat4 import io.github.sceneview.math.Color // Float4 Position(x = 0f, y = 1f, z = -2f) Rotation(y = 90f) Scale(1.5f) // uniform Scale(x = 2f, y = 1f, z = 2f) // Constructors Transform(position, quaternion, scale) Transform(position, rotation, scale) colorOf(r, g, b, a) // Conversions Rotation.toQuaternion(order = RotationsOrder.ZYX): Quaternion Quaternion.toRotation(order = RotationsOrder.ZYX): Rotation ``` --- ## Surface Types ```kotlin SceneView(surfaceType = SurfaceType.Surface) // SurfaceView, best perf (default) SceneView(surfaceType = SurfaceType.TextureSurface, isOpaque = false) // TextureView, alpha ``` --- ## Threading Rules - Filament JNI calls must run on the **main thread**. - `rememberModelInstance` is safe — reads bytes on IO, creates Filament objects on Main. - `modelLoader.createModel*` and `modelLoader.createModelInstance*` (synchronous) — **main thread only**. - `materialLoader.createColorInstance(...)` — **main thread only**. Safe inside `remember { }` in SceneScope. - `environmentLoader.createHDREnvironment(...)` — **main thread only**. - Use `modelLoader.loadModelInstanceAsync(...)` or `suspend fun loadModelInstance(...)` for imperative async code. - Inside `SceneView { }` composable scope, you are on the main thread — safe for all Filament calls. --- ## Performance - **Frame budget**: 16.6ms at 60fps. Target 12ms for headroom. - **Cold start**: ~120ms (3D), ~350ms (AR, ARCore init dominates). - **APK size**: +3.2MB (sceneview), +5.1MB (sceneview + arsceneview). - **Memory**: ~25MB empty 3D scene, ~45MB empty AR scene. - **Triangle budget**: <100K per model, <200K total scene (mid-tier devices). - **Textures**: use KTX2 with Basis Universal, max 2048x2048 on mobile. - **Draw calls**: aim for <100 per frame. Merge static geometry in Blender before export. - **Lights**: 1 directional + IBL covers most cases. Max 2-3 additional point/spot lights. - **Post-processing**: Bloom ~1ms, SSAO ~2-3ms. Disable SSAO on low-end devices. - **Compose**: use `remember` for Position/Rotation/Scale — no allocations in composition body. - **Engine**: create one `rememberEngine()` at app level, share across all scenes. - **AR**: disable `planeRenderer` after object placement to reduce overdraw. - **Rerun bridge**: adds ~0.5ms when active. Gate with `BuildConfig.DEBUG`. - See full guide: docs/docs/performance.md --- ## Error Handling | Problem | Cause | Fix | |---------|-------|-----| | Model not showing | `rememberModelInstance` returns null | Always null-check: `model?.let { ModelNode(...) }` | | Black screen | No environment / no light | Add `mainLightNode` and `environment` | | Crash on background thread | Filament JNI on wrong thread | Use `rememberModelInstance` or `Dispatchers.Main` | | AR not starting | Missing CAMERA permission or ARCore | Handle `onSessionFailed`, check `ArCoreApk.checkAvailability()` | | Model too big/small | Model units mismatch | Use `scaleToUnits` parameter | | Oversaturated AR camera | Wrong tone mapper | Use `rememberARView(engine)` (Linear tone mapper) | | Crash on empty bounding box | Filament 1.70+ enforcement | SceneView auto-sanitizes; update to latest version | | Material crash on dispose | Entity still in scene | SceneView handles cleanup order automatically | --- ## AR Debug — Rerun.io integration Stream an ARCore or ARKit session to the [Rerun](https://rerun.io) viewer for scrub-and-replay debugging. Camera pose, detected planes, point cloud, anchors, and hit results appear on a 3D timeline you can scrub frame-by-frame. **When to use:** debugging flaky plane detection, tracking drift, anchor instability, or comparing two AR sessions side by side. **Dev-time only** — gate with `BuildConfig.DEBUG` in release builds. ### Architecture ``` ┌──────────────┐ TCP JSON-lines ┌──────────────────┐ rerun-sdk ┌────────────┐ │ RerunBridge │ ─────────────────▶│ Python sidecar │ ───────────▶ │ Rerun │ │ (Kt or Swift)│ one obj/line \n │ (rerun-bridge.py)│ │ viewer │ └──────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ └────────────┘ ``` Same wire format on Android and iOS. A single sidecar handles both platforms. ### Android — `rememberRerunBridge` ```kotlin import io.github.sceneview.ar.rerun.rememberRerunBridge @Composable fun ARDebugScreen() { val bridge = rememberRerunBridge( host = "127.0.0.1", // paired with `adb reverse tcp:9876 tcp:9876` port = 9876, rateHz = 10, // throttle; 0 = unlimited enabled = BuildConfig.DEBUG // no-op in release builds ) ARSceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), onSessionUpdated = { session, frame -> bridge.logFrame(session, frame) } ) } ``` `logFrame` logs camera pose + planes + point cloud in one call, honours `rateHz`. Finer-grained methods are available if you want to emit events selectively: `logCameraPose(Pose, Long)`, `logPlanes(Collection, Long)`, `logPointCloud(PointCloud, Long)`, `logAnchors(Collection, Long)`, `logHitResult(HitResult, Long)`. **Threading:** the bridge owns a private `Dispatchers.IO` + `SupervisorJob` scope and a `Channel.CONFLATED` outbox. Every `log*` call is non-blocking — the newest event overwrites any pending one (drop-on-backpressure). Filament's render thread is never blocked. ### iOS — `RerunBridge` + new `ARSceneView.onFrame` ```swift import SceneViewSwift import ARKit struct ARDebugView: View { @StateObject private var bridge = RerunBridge( host: "192.168.1.42", // your Mac's LAN IP port: RerunBridge.defaultPort, rateHz: 10 ) var body: some View { ARSceneView() .onFrame { frame, _ in bridge.logFrame(frame) } .onAppear { bridge.connect() } .onDisappear { bridge.disconnect() } } } ``` `RerunBridge` is an `ObservableObject` with `@Published eventCount` you can bind to a SwiftUI status overlay. Uses `Network.framework` `NWConnection` on a dedicated utility queue — no blocking on the ARKit delegate. ### Python sidecar (dev machine) ```bash pip install rerun-sdk numpy python samples/android-demo/tools/rerun-bridge.py # Rerun viewer window opens automatically via rr.init(spawn=True) # On the device: adb reverse tcp:9876 tcp:9876 # Android, USB-tethered # or connect iPhone and Mac to the same LAN and point bridge at Mac's IP ``` The sidecar maps each JSON event to the matching Rerun archetype: - `camera_pose` → `rr.Transform3D` - `plane` → `rr.LineStrips3D` (closed world-space polygon) - `point_cloud` → `rr.Points3D` - `anchor` → `rr.Transform3D` - `hit_result` → `rr.Points3D` (single highlighted point) ### Wire format (JSON-lines over TCP) ```json {"t":123456789,"type":"camera_pose","entity":"world/camera","translation":[x,y,z],"quaternion":[x,y,z,w]} {"t":123456789,"type":"plane","entity":"world/planes/","kind":"horizontal_upward","polygon":[[x,y,z],...]} {"t":123456789,"type":"point_cloud","entity":"world/points","positions":[[x,y,z],...],"confidences":[f,...]} {"t":123456789,"type":"anchor","entity":"world/anchors/","translation":[x,y,z],"quaternion":[x,y,z,w]} {"t":123456789,"type":"hit_result","entity":"world/hits/","translation":[x,y,z],"distance":f} ``` Non-finite floats (NaN/Infinity) are clamped to `0` so every line stays parseable. Byte-identical output from Kotlin and Swift — enforced by 24 golden-string tests (12 per platform). ### Generating the boilerplate with AI The [`rerun-3d-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rerun-3d-mcp) MCP server generates the integration code for you. Install once: ```bash npx rerun-3d-mcp ``` Then ask Claude / Cursor / any MCP client: > Generate an Android AR scene that logs camera pose, planes, and point cloud to Rerun at 10 Hz, and give me the matching Python sidecar. The MCP exposes 5 tools: `setup_rerun_project`, `generate_ar_logger`, `generate_python_sidecar`, `embed_web_viewer`, `explain_concept`. ### Limits - **Dev-time only.** Gate with `BuildConfig.DEBUG` / `#if DEBUG`. The bridge is safe to leave wired in release (`setEnabled(false)` short-circuits the hot path), but the socket attempt alone wastes battery. - **No Rerun on visionOS yet.** `RerunBridge` is iOS-only because it reads from `ARFrame`, which isn't part of the visionOS API surface. - **10 Hz default.** Higher rates are possible but the sidecar becomes a bottleneck beyond ~30 Hz on a typical laptop. --- ## Recipes — "I want to..." ### Show a 3D model with orbit camera ```kotlin @Composable fun ModelViewer() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb") SceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, cameraManipulator = rememberCameraManipulator() ) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 1f, autoAnimate = true) } } } ``` ### AR tap-to-place on a surface ```kotlin @Composable fun ARTapToPlace() { var anchor by remember { mutableStateOf(null) } val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/chair.glb") ARSceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, planeRenderer = true, onSessionUpdated = { _, frame -> if (anchor == null) { anchor = frame.getUpdatedPlanes() .firstOrNull { it.type == Plane.Type.HORIZONTAL_UPWARD_FACING } ?.let { frame.createAnchorOrNull(it.centerPose) } } } ) { anchor?.let { a -> AnchorNode(anchor = a) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 0.5f) } } } } } ``` ### Procedural geometry (no model files) ```kotlin @Composable fun ProceduralScene() { val engine = rememberEngine() val materialLoader = rememberMaterialLoader(engine) val material = remember(materialLoader) { materialLoader.createColorInstance(Color.Gray, metallic = 0f, roughness = 0.4f) } SceneView(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine) { CubeNode(size = Size(0.5f), materialInstance = material) SphereNode(radius = 0.3f, materialInstance = material, position = Position(x = 1f)) CylinderNode(radius = 0.2f, height = 0.8f, materialInstance = material, position = Position(x = -1f)) } } ``` ### Embed Compose UI inside 3D space ```kotlin @Composable fun ComposeIn3D() { val engine = rememberEngine() val windowManager = rememberViewNodeManager() SceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, viewNodeWindowManager = windowManager ) { ViewNode(windowManager = windowManager) { Card { Text("Hello from 3D!") } } } } ``` ### Animated model with play/pause ```kotlin @Composable fun AnimatedModel() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/character.glb") var isPlaying by remember { mutableStateOf(true) } Column { SceneView(modifier = Modifier.weight(1f).fillMaxWidth(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, autoAnimate = isPlaying) } } Button(onClick = { isPlaying = !isPlaying }) { Text(if (isPlaying) "Pause" else "Play") } } } ``` ### Multiple models positioned in a scene ```kotlin @Composable fun MultiModelScene() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val helmet = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb") val car = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/car.glb") SceneView(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader) { helmet?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 0.5f, position = Position(x = -0.5f)) } car?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 0.5f, position = Position(x = 0.5f)) } } } ``` ### Interactive model with tap and gesture ```kotlin @Composable fun InteractiveModel() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb") var selectedNode by remember { mutableStateOf(null) } SceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, onGestureListener = rememberOnGestureListener( onSingleTapConfirmed = { _, node -> selectedNode = node?.name } ) ) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 1f, isEditable = true, apply = { scaleGestureSensitivity = 0.3f editableScaleRange = 0.2f..2.0f }) } } } ``` ### HDR environment with custom lighting ```kotlin @Composable fun CustomEnvironment() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val environmentLoader = rememberEnvironmentLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb") val environment = rememberEnvironment(environmentLoader) { environmentLoader.createHDREnvironment("environments/sunset.hdr")!! } SceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, environment = environment, mainLightNode = rememberMainLightNode(engine) { intensity = 100_000f }, cameraManipulator = rememberCameraManipulator() ) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 1f) } } } ``` ### Post-processing effects (bloom, DoF, SSAO) ```kotlin @Composable fun PostProcessingScene() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb") SceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, cameraManipulator = rememberCameraManipulator(), view = rememberView(engine) { engine.createView().apply { bloomOptions = bloomOptions.apply { enabled = true; strength = 0.3f } depthOfFieldOptions = depthOfFieldOptions.apply { enabled = true; cocScale = 4f } ambientOcclusionOptions = ambientOcclusionOptions.apply { enabled = true } } } ) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 1f) } } } ``` ### Lines, paths, and curves ```kotlin @Composable fun LinesAndPaths() { val engine = rememberEngine() val materialLoader = rememberMaterialLoader(engine) val material = remember(materialLoader) { materialLoader.createColorInstance(colorOf(r = 0f, g = 0.7f, b = 1f)) } SceneView(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine) { LineNode(start = Position(-1f, 0f, 0f), end = Position(1f, 0f, 0f), materialInstance = material) PathNode( points = listOf(Position(0f, 0f, 0f), Position(0.5f, 1f, 0f), Position(1f, 0f, 0f)), materialInstance = material ) } } ``` ### World-space text labels ```kotlin @Composable fun TextLabels() { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) val model = rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/helmet.glb") SceneView(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader) { model?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 1f) } TextNode(text = "Damaged Helmet", position = Position(y = 0.8f)) } } ``` ### AR image tracking ```kotlin @Composable fun ARImageTracking(coverBitmap: Bitmap) { val engine = rememberEngine() val modelLoader = rememberModelLoader(engine) var detectedImages by remember { mutableStateOf(listOf()) } ARSceneView( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), engine = engine, modelLoader = modelLoader, sessionConfiguration = { session, config -> config.augmentedImageDatabase = AugmentedImageDatabase(session).also { db -> db.addImage("cover", coverBitmap) } }, onSessionUpdated = { _, frame -> detectedImages = frame.getUpdatedTrackables(AugmentedImage::class.java) .filter { it.trackingState == TrackingState.TRACKING } } ) { detectedImages.forEach { image -> AugmentedImageNode(augmentedImage = image) { rememberModelInstance(modelLoader, "models/drone.glb")?.let { ModelNode(modelInstance = it, scaleToUnits = 0.2f) } } } } } ``` ### AR face tracking ```kotlin @Composable fun ARFaceTracking() { val engine = rememberEngine() val materialLoader = rememberMaterialLoader(engine) var trackedFaces by remember { mutableStateOf(listOf()) } val faceMaterial = remember(materialLoader) { materialLoader.createColorInstance(colorOf(r = 1f, g = 0f, b = 0f, a = 0.5f)) } ARSceneView( sessionFeatures = setOf(Session.Feature.FRONT_CAMERA), sessionConfiguration = { _, config -> config.augmentedFaceMode = Config.AugmentedFaceMode.MESH3D }, onSessionUpdated = { session, _ -> trackedFaces = session.getAllTrackables(AugmentedFace::class.java) .filter { it.trackingState == TrackingState.TRACKING } } ) { trackedFaces.forEach { face -> AugmentedFaceNode(augmentedFace = face, meshMaterialInstance = faceMaterial) } } } ``` --- ## Android Advanced APIs ### SceneRenderer `SceneRenderer` encapsulates the Filament surface lifecycle and render-frame pipeline. Both `SceneView` (3D) and `ARSceneView` (AR) share the same surface management and frame-presentation code through this class. ```kotlin class SceneRenderer(engine: Engine, view: View, renderer: Renderer) { val isAttached: Boolean // true when a swap chain is ready var onSurfaceResized: ((width: Int, height: Int) -> Unit)? var onSurfaceReady: ((viewHeight: () -> Int) -> Unit)? var onSurfaceDestroyed: (() -> Unit)? fun attachToSurfaceView(surfaceView: SurfaceView, isOpaque: Boolean, context: Context, display: Display, onTouch: ((MotionEvent) -> Unit)? = null) fun attachToTextureView(textureView: TextureView, isOpaque: Boolean, context: Context, display: Display, onTouch: ((MotionEvent) -> Unit)? = null) fun renderFrame(frameTimeNanos: Long, onBeforeRender: () -> Unit) fun applyResize(width: Int, height: Int) fun destroy() } ``` Typical composable usage: ```kotlin val sceneRenderer = remember(engine, renderer) { SceneRenderer(engine, view, renderer) } DisposableEffect(sceneRenderer) { onDispose { sceneRenderer.destroy() } } ``` ### NodeGestureDelegate `NodeGestureDelegate` handles all gesture detection and callback logic for a `Node`. Gesture callbacks (e.g. `node.onTouch`, `node.onSingleTapConfirmed`) are forwarded through this delegate. Access it directly when you need to batch-configure callbacks or inspect `editingTransforms`: ```kotlin // Preferred — set callbacks directly on the node (delegates internally): node.onSingleTapConfirmed = { e -> true } node.onMove = { detector, e, worldPosition -> true } // Advanced — access the delegate directly: node.gestureDelegate.editingTransforms // Set> currently being edited node.gestureDelegate.onEditingChanged = { transforms -> /* transforms changed */ } ``` Available callbacks on `NodeGestureDelegate` (and mirrored on `Node`): `onTouch`, `onDown`, `onShowPress`, `onSingleTapUp`, `onScroll`, `onLongPress`, `onFling`, `onSingleTapConfirmed`, `onDoubleTap`, `onDoubleTapEvent`, `onContextClick`, `onMoveBegin`, `onMove`, `onMoveEnd`, `onRotateBegin`, `onRotate`, `onRotateEnd`, `onScaleBegin`, `onScale`, `onScaleEnd`, `onEditingChanged`, `editingTransforms`. ### NodeAnimationDelegate `NodeAnimationDelegate` handles smooth (interpolated) transform animation for a `Node`. Access via `node.animationDelegate`: ```kotlin // Preferred — use Node property aliases: node.isSmoothTransformEnabled = true node.smoothTransformSpeed = 5.0f // higher = faster convergence node.smoothTransform = targetTransform node.onSmoothEnd = { n -> /* reached target */ } // Advanced — access the delegate directly: node.animationDelegate.smoothTransform = targetTransform ``` The per-frame interpolation uses slerp. Once the transform reaches the target (within 0.001 tolerance), `onSmoothEnd` fires and the animation clears. ### NodeState `NodeState` is an immutable snapshot of a `Node`'s observable state. Use it for ViewModel-driven UI or save/restore patterns: ```kotlin data class NodeState( val position: Position = Position(), val quaternion: Quaternion = Quaternion(), val scale: Scale = Scale(1f), val isVisible: Boolean = true, val isEditable: Boolean = false, val isTouchable: Boolean = true ) // Capture current state val state: NodeState = node.toState() // Restore state node.applyState(state) ``` ### ARPermissionHandler `ARPermissionHandler` abstracts camera permission and ARCore availability checks away from `ComponentActivity`, enabling testability: ```kotlin interface ARPermissionHandler { fun hasCameraPermission(): Boolean fun requestCameraPermission(onResult: (granted: Boolean) -> Unit) fun shouldShowPermissionRationale(): Boolean fun openAppSettings() fun checkARCoreAvailability(): ArCoreApk.Availability fun requestARCoreInstall(userRequestedInstall: Boolean): Boolean } // Production implementation backed by ComponentActivity: class ActivityARPermissionHandler(activity: ComponentActivity) : ARPermissionHandler ``` --- ## sceneview-core (KMP) `sceneview-core` is a Kotlin Multiplatform module containing platform-independent logic shared between Android and iOS. It targets `jvm("android")`, `iosArm64`, `iosSimulatorArm64`, and `iosX64`. It depends on `dev.romainguy:kotlin-math:1.6.0` (exposed as `api`). The `sceneview` Android module depends on `sceneview-core` via `api project(':sceneview-core')`, so all types below are available transitively. ### Math type aliases All defined in `io.github.sceneview.math`: | Type alias | Underlying type | Semantics | |---|---|---| | `Position` | `Float3` | World position in meters | | `Position2` | `Float2` | 2D position | | `Rotation` | `Float3` | Euler angles in degrees | | `Scale` | `Float3` | Scale factors | | `Direction` | `Float3` | Unit direction vector | | `Size` | `Float3` | Dimensions | | `Transform` | `Mat4` | 4x4 transform matrix | | `Color` | `Float4` | RGBA color (r, g, b, a) | ```kotlin Transform(position, quaternion, scale) Transform(position, rotation, scale) colorOf(r, g, b, a) Rotation.toQuaternion(order = RotationsOrder.ZYX): Quaternion Quaternion.toRotation(order = RotationsOrder.ZYX): Rotation FloatArray.toPosition() / .toRotation() / .toScale() / .toDirection() / .toColor() lerp(start: Float3, end: Float3, deltaSeconds: Float): Float3 slerp(start: Transform, end: Transform, deltaSeconds: Double, speed: Float): Transform Float.almostEquals(other: Float): Boolean Float3.equals(v: Float3, delta: Float): Boolean ``` ### Color utilities `io.github.sceneview.math.Color` extensions: ```kotlin Color.toLinearSpace(): Color Color.toSrgbSpace(): Color Color.luminance(): Float Color.withAlpha(alpha: Float): Color Color.toHsv(): Float3 hsvToRgb(h: Float, s: Float, v: Float): Color lerpColor(start: Color, end: Color, fraction: Float): Color ``` ### Animation API `io.github.sceneview.animation`: ```kotlin // Easing functions — (Float) -> Float mappers for [0..1] Easing.Linear Easing.EaseIn // cubic Easing.EaseOut // cubic Easing.EaseInOut // cubic Easing.spring(dampingRatio = 0.5f, stiffness = 500f) // Property animation state machine val state = AnimationState( startValue = 0f, endValue = 1f, durationSeconds = 0.5f, easing = Easing.EaseOut, playbackMode = PlaybackMode.ONCE // ONCE | LOOP | PING_PONG ) val next = animate(state, deltaSeconds) next.value // current interpolated value next.fraction // eased fraction next.isFinished // true when done (ONCE mode) // Spring animator — damped harmonic oscillator val spring = SpringAnimator(config = SpringConfig.BOUNCY) // Presets: SpringConfig.BOUNCY, SMOOTH, STIFF // Custom: SpringConfig(stiffness = 400f, dampingRatio = 0.6f, initialVelocity = 0f) val value = spring.update(deltaSeconds) spring.isSettled spring.reset() // Time utilities frameToTime(frame: Int, frameRate: Int): Float timeToFrame(time: Float, frameRate: Int): Int fractionToTime(fraction: Float, duration: Float): Float timeToFraction(time: Float, duration: Float): Float secondsToMillis(seconds: Float): Long millisToSeconds(millis: Long): Float frameCount(durationSeconds: Float, frameRate: Int): Int ``` ### Geometry generators `io.github.sceneview.geometries` — pure functions returning `GeometryData(vertices, indices)`: ```kotlin generateCube(size: Float3 = Float3(1f), center: Float3 = Float3(0f)): GeometryData generateSphere(radius: Float = 1f, center: Float3 = Float3(0f), stacks: Int = 24, slices: Int = 24): GeometryData generateCylinder(radius: Float = 1f, height: Float = 2f, center: Float3 = Float3(0f), sideCount: Int = 24): GeometryData generatePlane(size: Float2 = Float2(1f), center: Float3 = Float3(0f), normal: Float3 = Float3(y = 1f)): GeometryData generateLine(start: Float3 = Float3(0f), end: Float3 = Float3(x = 1f)): GeometryData generatePath(points: List, closed: Boolean = false): GeometryData generateShape(polygonPath: List, polygonHoles: List, delaunayPoints: List, normal: Float3, uvScale: Float2, color: Float4?): GeometryData ``` ### Collision system `io.github.sceneview.collision`: | Class | Description | |---|---| | `Vector3` | 3D vector with arithmetic, dot, cross, normalize, lerp | | `Quaternion` | Rotation quaternion with multiply, inverse, slerp | | `Matrix` | 4x4 matrix (column-major float array) | | `Ray` | Origin + direction, `getPoint(distance)` | | `RayHit` | Hit result with distance and world position | | `Sphere` | Center + radius collision shape | | `Box` | Center + size + rotation collision shape | | `Plane` | Normal + constant collision shape | | `CollisionShape` | Base class — `rayIntersection(ray, rayHit): Boolean` | | `Intersections` | Static tests: sphere-sphere, box-box, ray-sphere, ray-box, ray-plane | The Android `CollisionSystem` (in `sceneview` module) exposes `hitTest()` for screen-space and ray-based queries: ```kotlin // Preferred API collisionSystem.hitTest(motionEvent): List // from touch event collisionSystem.hitTest(xPx, yPx): List // screen pixels collisionSystem.hitTest(viewPosition: Float2): List // normalized [0..1] collisionSystem.hitTest(ray: Ray): List // explicit ray // @Deprecated — use hitTest() instead @Deprecated collisionSystem.raycast(ray): HitResult? // → hitTest(ray).firstOrNull() @Deprecated collisionSystem.raycastAll(ray): List // → hitTest(ray) // HitResult properties hitResult.node: Node // throws IllegalStateException if reset — use nodeOrNull for safe access hitResult.nodeOrNull: Node? // safe alternative — returns null instead of throwing ``` ### Triangulation | Class | Purpose | |---|---| | `Earcut` | Polygon triangulation (with holes) — returns triangle indices | | `Delaunator` | Delaunay triangulation — computes Delaunay triangles from 2D points | --- ## Cross-Platform (Kotlin Multiplatform + Apple) Architecture: native renderer per platform — Filament on Android, RealityKit on Apple. KMP shares logic (math, collision, geometry, animations), not rendering. SceneViewSwift is consumable by: Swift native (SPM), Flutter (PlatformView), React Native (Turbo Module / Fabric), KMP Compose iOS (UIKitView). ### Apple Setup (Swift Package) ```swift //

because: 1. **Compose-native** — `SceneView { }` is a composable, nodes are composables, state drives everything 2. **Zero boilerplate** — no engine lifecycle, no manual cleanup, no `onResume`/`onPause` 3. **Async-safe** — `rememberModelInstance` loads on IO, returns null while loading, auto-recomposes 4. **Full AR** — planes, images, faces, cloud anchors, geospatial — all as composables 5. **Cross-platform** — core math/geometry/animation shared via Kotlin Multiplatform, iOS via SwiftUI 6. **Production-ready** — Google Filament rendering, ARCore tracking, PBR materials --- ## AI Integration MCP server: `sceneview-mcp`. Add to `.claude/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "sceneview": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "sceneview-mcp"] } } } ``` ### Complete nodes reference For an exhaustive, AI-first reference covering every node composable — signatures, copy-paste examples, gotchas, lifecycle behaviour, nesting & coordinate spaces, and common mistakes — see **[docs/docs/nodes.md](https://sceneview.github.io/docs/nodes/)** (`NODES.md`). This file is the authoritative walkthrough for: - **Standard nodes:** ModelNode (animations, `scaleToUnits`), LightNode (intensity units by type, the `apply` trap), ViewNode (Compose UI on a plane, why `viewNodeWindowManager` is mandatory) - **Procedural geometry:** CubeNode / SphereNode / CylinderNode / PlaneNode / LineNode / PathNode / MeshNode — with the recomposition model for reactive geometry updates - **Content nodes:** TextNode, ImageNode, VideoNode, BillboardNode, ReflectionProbeNode - **AR-only nodes:** AnchorNode (the correct pattern for pinning state without 60 FPS recomposition), PoseNode, HitResultNode, AugmentedImageNode, AugmentedFaceNode, CloudAnchorNode, StreetscapeGeometryNode - **Composition & state:** nesting and parent→child coordinate spaces, reactive parameters, automatic destruction, imperative `apply = { … }` blocks, and a table of common mistakes with symptoms and fixes This reference is consumed by `sceneview-mcp` so Claude and other AI assistants can answer deep questions about any node without hallucinating parameter names. ### Claude Artifacts — 3D in claude.ai SceneView works inside Claude Artifacts (HTML type). Use this template: ```html ``` **Available CDN models** (all at `https://sceneview.github.io/models/platforms/`): AnimatedAstronaut.glb, AnimatedTrex.glb, AntiqueCamera.glb, Avocado.glb, BarnLamp.glb, CarConcept.glb, ChronographWatch.glb, DamagedHelmet.glb, DamaskChair.glb, DishWithOlives.glb, Duck.glb, Fox.glb, GameBoyClassic.glb, IridescenceLamp.glb, Lantern.glb, MaterialsVariantsShoe.glb, MonsteraPlant.glb, MosquitoInAmber.glb, SheenChair.glb, Shiba.glb, Sneaker.glb, SunglassesKhronos.glb, ToyCar.glb, VelvetSofa.glb, WaterBottle.glb, ferrari_f40.glb **Rules for artifacts:** - Always load filament.js BEFORE sceneview.js (via script tags, not import) - Use absolute URLs for models (`https://sceneview.github.io/models/...`) - Canvas must have explicit dimensions (100vw/100vh or fixed px) - Works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox (WebGL2 required) **Advanced artifact example** (custom scene): ```html ``` --- ## SceneView Web (Kotlin/JS + Filament.js) Package: `sceneview-web` v4.0.0 — npm `sceneview-web` Renderer: **Filament.js (WebGL2/WASM)** — same Filament engine as SceneView Android, compiled to WebAssembly. Requires: Chrome 79+, Edge 79+, Firefox 78+ (WebGL2). Safari 15+ (WebGL2). npm install: ``` npm install sceneview-web filament ``` Script-tag usage (no bundler): ```html ``` After loading, the library registers itself on `window.sceneview`. --- ### SceneView (Kotlin/JS class — 3D scene) ```kotlin // Primary entry point — Kotlin DSL SceneView.create( canvas: HTMLCanvasElement, assets: Array = emptyArray(), // URLs to preload (KTX) configure: SceneViewBuilder.() -> Unit = {}, onReady: (SceneView) -> Unit ) // Constants SceneView.DEFAULT_IBL_URL // neutral studio IBL (KTX) SceneView.DEFAULT_SKYBOX_URL ``` Instance methods: ```kotlin sceneView.loadModel(url: String, onLoaded: ((FilamentAsset) -> Unit)? = null) sceneView.loadEnvironment(iblUrl: String, skyboxUrl: String? = null) sceneView.loadDefaultEnvironment() // neutral IBL, no skybox sceneView.addLight(config: LightConfig) sceneView.addGeometry(config: GeometryConfig) sceneView.enableCameraControls( distance: Double = 5.0, targetX: Double = 0.0, targetY: Double = 0.0, targetZ: Double = 0.0, autoRotate: Boolean = false ): OrbitCameraController sceneView.fitToModels() // auto-fit camera to bounding box sceneView.resize(width: Int, height: Int) sceneView.startRendering() sceneView.stopRendering() sceneView.destroy() // release all GPU resources // Properties sceneView.canvas: HTMLCanvasElement sceneView.engine: Engine // Filament Engine sceneView.renderer: Renderer sceneView.scene: Scene sceneView.view: View sceneView.camera: Camera sceneView.cameraController: OrbitCameraController? sceneView.autoResize: Boolean = true ``` --- ### SceneViewBuilder (DSL — configure block inside SceneView.create) ```kotlin SceneView.create(canvas, configure = { camera { eye(0.0, 1.5, 5.0) // camera position target(0.0, 0.0, 0.0) // look-at point up(0.0, 1.0, 0.0) fov(45.0) // degrees near(0.1); far(1000.0) exposure(1.1) // direct exposure value (model-viewer style) // or: exposure(aperture = 16.0, shutterSpeed = 1/125.0, sensitivity = 100.0) } light { directional() // or: point() / spot() intensity(100_000.0) color(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f) direction(0.6f, -1.0f, -0.8f) // for point/spot: position(x, y, z) } model("models/damaged_helmet.glb") { autoAnimate(true) // play first glTF animation if present scale(1.0f) onLoaded { asset -> /* FilamentAsset */ } } geometry { cube() // or: sphere() / cylinder() / plane() size(1.0, 1.0, 1.0) // cube: w/h/d; sphere/cylinder: use radius()/height() color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0) // RGBA 0-1 position(0.0, 0.5, -2.0) rotation(0.0, 45.0, 0.0) // Euler degrees scale(1.0) } environment("https://…/ibl.ktx", skyboxUrl = "https://…/sky.ktx") // custom IBL noEnvironment() // skip IBL loading entirely cameraControls(true) // orbit controls (default: true) autoRotate(true) // auto-spin camera }) { sceneView -> /* onReady */ } ``` --- ### OrbitCameraController Attached automatically when `cameraControls(true)` (the default).

Supported: Chrome Android 79+, Meta Quest Browser, Safari iOS 18+. Must be called from a user gesture (button click). ```kotlin // Check AR support first ARSceneView.checkSupport { supported -> if (supported) { // Must be in a click handler ARSceneView.create( canvas = canvas, features = WebXRSession.Features( required = arrayOf(XRFeature.HIT_TEST), optional = arrayOf(XRFeature.DOM_OVERLAY, XRFeature.LIGHT_ESTIMATION) ), onError = { msg -> console.error(msg) }, onReady = { arView -> arView.onHitTest = { pose: XRPose -> // Surface detected — place content at pose arView.loadModel("models/chair.glb") } arView.onSelect = { source: XRInputSource -> // User tapped } arView.onSessionEnd = { /* AR session ended */ } arView.start() } ) } } arView.stop() // ends the XR session arView.sceneView // underlying SceneView for direct Filament access ``` XRFeature constants: `XRFeature.HIT_TEST`, `XRFeature.DOM_OVERLAY`, `XRFeature.LIGHT_ESTIMATION`, `XRFeature.HAND_TRACKING` --- ### WebXR — VRSceneView (browser VR) Requires WebXR immersive-vr. Supported: Meta Quest Browser, Chrome with headset, Firefox Reality. ```kotlin VRSceneView.checkSupport { supported -> if (supported) { VRSceneView.create( canvas = canvas, features = WebXRSession.Features(optional = arrayOf(XRFeature.HAND_TRACKING)), referenceSpaceType = XRReferenceSpaceType.LOCAL_FLOOR, onError = { msg -> }, onReady = { vrView -> vrView.sceneView.loadModel("models/room.glb") vrView.onFrame = { frame: XRFrame, pose: XRViewerPose? -> /* per-frame */ } vrView.onInputSelect = { source: XRInputSource, pose: XRPose? -> /* trigger */ } vrView.onInputSqueeze = { source, pose -> /* grip */ } vrView.onSessionEnd = { } vrView.start() } ) } } ``` --- ### WebXRSession (low-level — AR + VR unified) ```kotlin WebXRSession.checkSupport(mode = XRSessionMode.IMMERSIVE_AR) { supported -> } WebXRSession.create( canvas = canvas, mode = XRSessionMode.IMMERSIVE_AR, // or IMMERSIVE_VR features = WebXRSession.Features( required = arrayOf(XRFeature.HIT_TEST), optional = arrayOf(XRFeature.DOM_OVERLAY, XRFeature.LIGHT_ESTIMATION, XRFeature.HAND_TRACKING) ), referenceSpaceType = XRReferenceSpaceType.LOCAL_FLOOR, onError = { msg -> }, onReady = { session -> session.onFrame = { frame, pose -> } session.onHitTest = { pose -> } // AR only session.onInputSelect = { source, pose -> } session.onInputSqueeze = { source, pose -> } session.onInputSourcesChange = { added, removed -> } session.onSessionEnd = { } session.loadModel(url) session.setEntityTransform(entity, xrTransform) session.start() session.stop() session.isAR // Boolean session.isVR // Boolean } ) ``` XRSessionMode: `XRSessionMode.IMMERSIVE_AR`, `XRSessionMode.IMMERSIVE_VR` XRReferenceSpaceType: `LOCAL_FLOOR`, `LOCAL`, `VIEWER`, `BOUNDED_FLOOR`, `UNBOUNDED` --- ### Threading rules (Web) - All Filament API calls happen on the **JS main thread** (there is no concept of background threads in browser JS). - `SceneView.create` and `loadModel` are async (Promise-based) — await them before calling instance methods. - `loadModel` internally calls `asset.loadResources()` which fetches external textures asynchronously; the `onLoaded` callback fires when textures are ready. - Never call `destroy()` inside an animation frame callback — defer to next microtask. --- ### Web Geometry DSL (Kotlin/JS) ```kotlin SceneView.create(canvas, configure = { geometry { cube(); size(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); position(0.0, 0.5, -2.0) } geometry { sphere(); radius(0.5); color(0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0) } geometry { cylinder(); radius(0.3); height(1.5); color(0.0, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0) } geometry { plane(); size(5.0, 5.0, 0.0); color(0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0); position(0.0, 0.0, 0.0) } }) { sceneView -> sceneView.startRendering() } ``` Geometry types: `cube` (w/h/d via `size(x,y,z)`), `sphere` (`radius(r)`), `cylinder` (`radius(r)` + `height(h)`), `plane` (`size(w,h,0)`) All geometry shares the PBR material pipeline — supports `color` (base color factor), `position`, `rotation` (Euler degrees), `scale`. --- ## SceneViewSwift (iOS / macOS / visionOS) Renderer: **RealityKit**. Requires iOS 17+ / macOS 14+ / visionOS 1+. SPM dependency (Package.swift or Xcode): ```swift .package(url: "https://github.com/sceneview/sceneview-swift.git", from: "4.0.1") ``` Import: `import SceneViewSwift` Architecture: RealityKit is the rendering backend on all Apple platforms. Logic shared with Android uses the `sceneview-core` KMP XCFramework (collision, math, geometry, animations). There is NO Filament dependency on Apple. --- ### SceneView (SwiftUI view — 3D only) ```swift // Declarative init — @NodeBuilder DSL public struct SceneView: View { public init(@NodeBuilder content: @escaping () -> [Entity]) // Imperative init — receives root Entity, add children manually public init(_ content: @escaping (Entity) -> Void) } ``` View modifiers (chainable): ```swift .environment(_ environment: SceneEnvironment) -> SceneView // IBL lighting .cameraControls(_ mode: CameraControlMode) -> SceneView // .orbit (default), .pan, .firstPerson .onEntityTapped(_ handler: @escaping (Entity) -> Void) -> SceneView .autoRotate(speed: Float = 0.3) -> SceneView // radians/s, default 0.3 ``` Minimal usage: ```swift @State private var model: ModelNode? var body: some View { SceneView { GeometryNode.cube(size: 0.3, color: .red) .position(.init(x: -1, y: 0, z: -2)) GeometryNode.sphere(radius: 0.2, color: .blue) LightNode.directional(intensity: 1000) } .environment(.studio) .cameraControls(.orbit) .task { model = try? await ModelNode.load("models/car.usdz") } } ``` With model loading: ```swift @State private var model: ModelNode? SceneView { root in if let model { root.addChild(model.entity) } } .environment(.outdoor) .cameraControls(.orbit) .onEntityTapped { entity in print("Tapped: \(entity)") } .task { model = try? await ModelNode.load("models/car.usdz") } ``` --- ### ARSceneView (SwiftUI view — AR, iOS only) ```swift public struct ARSceneView: UIViewRepresentable { public init( planeDetection: PlaneDetectionMode = .horizontal, showPlaneOverlay: Bool = true, showCoachingOverlay: Bool = true, cameraExposure: Float? = nil, // EV compensation — nil = ARKit auto-exposure imageTrackingDatabase: Set? = nil, onTapOnPlane: ((SIMD3, ARView) -> Void)? = nil, onImageDetected: ((String, AnchorNode, ARView) -> Void)? = nil, onFrame: ((ARFrame, ARView) -> Void)? = nil ) } ``` View modifiers (chainable): ```swift .onSessionStarted(_ handler: @escaping (ARView) -> Void) -> ARSceneView .cameraExposure(_ ev: Float?) -> ARSceneView // EV stops; iOS 15+ CIColorControls post-process .onFrame(_ handler: @escaping (ARFrame, ARView) -> Void) -> ARSceneView ``` `PlaneDetectionMode` values: `.none`, `.horizontal`, `.vertical`, `.both` `cameraExposure` notes: - Mirrors Android's `ARSceneView(cameraExposure: Float?)`. - Positive values brighten; negative values darken. One stop = ±0.5 brightness unit. - Implemented via `ARView.renderCallbacks.postProcess` (iOS 15+); no-op on earlier versions. Minimal AR usage: ```swift ARSceneView( planeDetection: .horizontal, showCoachingOverlay: true, onTapOnPlane: { position, arView in let cube = GeometryNode.cube(size: 0.1, color: .blue) let anchor = AnchorNode.world(position: position) anchor.add(cube.entity) arView.scene.addAnchor(anchor.entity) } ) ``` Image tracking: ```swift let images = AugmentedImageNode.createImageDatabase([ AugmentedImageNode.ReferenceImage( name: "poster", image: UIImage(named: "poster_reference")!, physicalWidth: 0.3 // 30 cm ) ]) ARSceneView( imageTrackingDatabase: images, onImageDetected: { imageName, anchor, arView in let label = TextNode(text: imageName, fontSize: 0.05, color: .white) anchor.add(label.entity) arView.scene.addAnchor(anchor.entity) } ) ``` --- ### Node types #### ModelNode — 3D model (USDZ / Reality) ```swift public struct ModelNode: @unchecked Sendable { public let entity: ModelEntity // Loading (always @MainActor, async) public static func load(_ path: String, enableCollision: Bool = true) async throws -> ModelNode public static func load(contentsOf url: URL, enableCollision: Bool = true) async throws -> ModelNode public static func load(from remoteURL: URL, enableCollision: Bool = true, timeout: TimeInterval = 60.0) async throws -> ModelNode // Transform (fluent / chainable) public func position(_ position: SIMD3) -> ModelNode public func scale(_ uniform: Float) -> ModelNode public func scale(_ scale: SIMD3) -> ModelNode public func rotation(_ rotation: simd_quatf) -> ModelNode public func rotation(angle: Float, axis: SIMD3) -> ModelNode public func scaleToUnits(_ units: Float = 1.0) -> ModelNode // fits in cube of 'units' meters // Animation public var animationCount: Int public var animationNames: [String] public func playAllAnimations(loop: Bool = true, speed: Float = 1.0) public func playAnimation(at index: Int, loop: Bool = true, speed: Float = 1.0, transitionDuration: TimeInterval = 0.2) public func playAnimation(named name: String, loop: Bool = true, speed: Float = 1.0, transitionDuration: TimeInterval = 0.2) public func stopAllAnimations() // Material public func setColor(_ color: SimpleMaterial.Color) -> ModelNode public func setMetallic(_ value: Float) -> ModelNode // 0 = dielectric, 1 = metal public func setRoughness(_ value: Float) -> ModelNode // 0 = smooth, 1 = rough public func opacity(_ value: Float) -> ModelNode // 0 = transparent, 1 = opaque // Misc public func enableCollision() public func withGroundingShadow() -> ModelNode // iOS 18+ / visionOS 2+ public mutating func onTap(_ handler: @escaping () -> Void) -> ModelNode } ``` Key behaviors: - Supports `.usdz` and `.reality` files natively. glTF support planned via GLTFKit2. - `load(_:)` calls `Entity(named:)` — file must be in the app bundle or an accessible URL. - `load(from:)` downloads to a temp file, loads, then cleans up. - `scaleToUnits(_:)` mirrors Android's `ModelNode(scaleToUnits = 1f)`. #### LightNode — light source ```swift public struct LightNode: Sendable { public static func directional( color: LightNode.Color = .white, intensity: Float = 1000, // lux castsShadow: Bool = true ) -> LightNode public static func point( color: LightNode.Color = .white, intensity: Float = 1000, // lumens attenuationRadius: Float = 10.0 ) -> LightNode public static func spot( color: LightNode.Color = .white, intensity: Float = 1000, innerAngle: Float = .pi / 6, // radians outerAngle: Float = .pi / 4, attenuationRadius: Float = 10.0 ) -> LightNode // Fluent modifiers public func position(_ position: SIMD3) -> LightNode public func lookAt(_ target: SIMD3) -> LightNode public func castsShadow(_ enabled: Bool) -> LightNode public func attenuationRadius(_ radius: Float) -> LightNode public func shadowMaximumDistance(_ distance: Float) -> LightNode } // LightNode.Color public enum Color: Sendable { case white case warm // ~3200K tungsten case cool // ~6500K daylight case custom(r: Float, g: Float, b: Float) } ``` #### GeometryNode — procedural primitives ```swift public struct GeometryNode: Sendable { // Primitives (simple color) public static func cube(size: Float =

func cylinder(radius: Float = 0.5, height: Float = 1.0, color: SimpleMaterial.Color = .white) -> GeometryNode public static func plane(width: Float = 1.0, depth: Float = 1.0, color: SimpleMaterial.Color = .white) -> GeometryNode public static func cone(height: Float = 1.0, radius: Float = 0.5, color: SimpleMaterial.Color = .white) -> GeometryNode // Primitives with PBR material public static func cube(size: Float = 1.0, material: GeometryMaterial, cornerRadius: Float = 0) -> GeometryNode public static func sphere(radius: Float = 0.5, material: GeometryMaterial) -> GeometryNode // Fluent modifiers public func position(_ position: SIMD3) -> GeometryNode public func scale(_ uniform: Float) -> GeometryNode public func rotation(_ rotation: simd_quatf) -> GeometryNode public func rotation(angle: Float, axis: SIMD3) -> GeometryNode public func withGroundingShadow() -> GeometryNode // iOS 18+ / visionOS 2+ } ``` `GeometryMaterial` (enum): ```swift public enum GeometryMaterial: @unchecked Sendable { case simple(color: SimpleMaterial.Color) case pbr(color: SimpleMaterial.Color, metallic: Float = 0.0, roughness: Float = 0.5) case textured(baseColor: TextureResource, normal: TextureResource? = nil, metallic: Float = 0.0, roughness: Float = 0.5, tint: SimpleMaterial.Color = .white) case unlit(color: SimpleMaterial.Color) case unlitTextured(texture: TextureResource, tint: SimpleMaterial.Color = .white) case custom(any RealityKit.Material) // Texture loading helpers public static func loadTexture(_ name: String) async throws -> TextureResource public static func loadTexture(contentsOf url: URL) async throws -> TextureResource } ``` #### AnchorNode — AR world anchors (iOS only) ```swift public struct AnchorNode: Sendable { public let entity: AnchorEntity public static func world(position: SIMD3) -> AnchorNode public static func plane(alignment: PlaneAlignment = .horizontal, minimumBounds: SIMD2 = .init(0.1, 0.1)) -> AnchorNode public func add(_ child: Entity) public func remove(_ child: Entity) public func removeAll() public enum PlaneAlignment: Sendable { case horizontal, vertical } } ``` #### AugmentedImageNode — image tracking (iOS only) ```swift public struct AugmentedImageNode: Sendable { public let imageName: String public let estimatedSize: CGSize public let anchorEntity: AnchorEntity public static func fromDetection(_ imageAnchor: ARImageAnchor) -> AugmentedImageNode // Image database creation public static func createImageDatabase(_ images: [ReferenceImage]) -> Set public static func referenceImages(inGroupNamed groupName: String) -> Set? public func add(_ child: Entity) public func removeAll() public struct ReferenceImage: Sendable { public init(name: String, image: UIImage, physicalWidth: CGFloat) public init(name: String, cgImage: CGImage, physicalWidth: CGFloat) } public enum TrackingState: Sendable { case tracking, limited, notTracking } } ``` #### TextNode — 3D text labels ```swift public struct TextNode: Sendable { public let entity: ModelEntity public let text: String public init( text: String, fontSize: Float = 0.05, // meters (world space) color: SimpleMaterial.Color = .white, font: String = "Helvetica", alignment: CTTextAlignment = .center, depth: Float = 0.005, isMetallic: Bool = false ) public func position(_ position: SIMD3) -> TextNode public func scale(_ uniform: Float) -> TextNode } ``` #### VideoNode — video playback on a 3D plane ```swift public struct VideoNode: @unchecked Sendable { public let entity: Entity public let player: AVPlayer public static func load(_ path: String) -> VideoNode // bundle resource public static func load(url: URL) -> VideoNode // file or http URL public func position(_ position: SIMD3) -> VideoNode public func size(width: Float, height: Float) -> VideoNode public func play() public func pause() public func stop() public func loop(_ enabled: Bool) -> VideoNode } ``` --- ### SceneEnvironment — IBL lighting ```swift public struct SceneEnvironment: Sendable { public init(name: String, hdrResource: String? = nil, intensity: Float = 1.0, showSkybox: Bool = true) public static func custom(name: String, hdrFile: String, intensity: Float = 1.0, showSkybox: Bool = true) -> SceneEnvironment // Built-in presets public static let studio: SceneEnvironment // neutral studio (default) public static let outdoor: SceneEnvironment // warm daylight public static let sunset: SceneEnvironment // golden hour public static let night: SceneEnvironment // dark, moody public static let warm: SceneEnvironment // slightly orange tone public static let autumn: SceneEnvironment // soft natural outdoor public static let allPresets: [SceneEnvironment] } ``` --- ### NodeBuilder — declarative scene composition `@resultBuilder` for composing scene content inside `SceneView { }`: ```swift @resultBuilder public struct NodeBuilder { // Used automatically with @NodeBuilder closure syntax } // All node types conform to EntityProvider: public protocol EntityProvider { var sceneEntity: Entity { get } } // Conformers: GeometryNode, ModelNode, LightNode, MeshNode, TextNode, // ImageNode, BillboardNode, CameraNode, LineNode, PathNode, PhysicsNode, // DynamicSkyNode, FogNode, ReflectionProbeNode, VideoNode, ShapeNode, ViewNode ``` --- ### CameraControls ```swift public enum CameraControlMode: Sendable { case orbit // drag to rotate, pinch to zoom (default) case pan // drag to pan, pinch to zoom case firstPerson // drag to look around } public struct CameraControls: Sendable { public var mode: CameraControlMode public var target: SIMD3 = .zero public var orbitRadius: Float = 5.0 public var azimuth: Float = 0.0 public var elevation: Float = .pi / 6 // 30 degrees public var minRadius: Float = 0.5 public var maxRadius: Float = 50.0 public var sensitivity: Float = 0.005 public var isAutoRotating: Bool = false public var autoRotateSpeed: Float = 0.3 } ``` --- ### Entity modifiers (extension on RealityKit.Entity) Fluent, chainable helpers available on any `Entity`: ```swift extension Entity { public func positioned(at position: SIMD3) -> Self public func scaled(to factor: Float) -> Self public func scaled(to scale: SIMD3) -> Self public func rotated(by angle: Float, around axis: SIMD3) -> Self public func named(_ name: String) -> Self public func enabled(_ isEnabled: Bool) -> Self } ``` --- ### RerunBridge (iOS only) — stream AR data to Rerun viewer ```swift public final class RerunBridge: ObservableObject { @Published public private(set) var eventCount: Int public init( host: String = "127.0.0.1", port: UInt16 = 9876, rateHz: Int = 10 // max frames/sec; 0 = unlimited ) // Connection lifecycle public func connect() // non-blocking; uses NWConnection on background queue public func disconnect() public func setEnabled(_ enabled: Bool) // High-level convenience (honours rate limiter) public func logFrame(_ frame: ARFrame) // logs camera pose + planes + point cloud // Low-level per-event loggers public func logCameraPose(_ camera: ARCamera, timestampNanos: Int64) public func logPlanes(_ planes: [ARPlaneAnchor], timestampNanos: Int64) public func logPointCloud(_ cloud: ARPointCloud, timestampNanos: Int64) public func logAnchors(_ anchors: [ARAnchor], timestampNanos: Int64) } ``` Usage with `ARSceneView`: ```swift @StateObject private var bridge = RerunBridge(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 9876, rateHz: 10) var body: some View { ARSceneView() .onFrame { frame, _ in bridge.logFrame(frame) } .onAppear { bridge.connect() } .onDisappear { bridge.disconnect() } Text("Events: \(bridge.eventCount)") } ``` Threading: all I/O runs on a private `DispatchQueue` via `NWConnection`. `log*` methods are non-blocking — hand off data from any thread (ARKit delegate queue, main thread). Backpressure is absorbed by `rateHz`. Wire format: JSON-lines consumed by `tools/rerun-bridge.py` Python sidecar. --- ## Platform Coverage Summary | Platform | Renderer | Framework | Sample | Status | |---|---|---|---|---| | Android | Filament | Jetpack Compose | `samples/android-demo` | Stable | | Android TV | Filament | Compose TV | `samples/android-tv-demo` | Alpha | | Android XR | Filament + SceneCore | Compose for XR | -- | Planned | | iOS | RealityKit | SwiftUI | `samples/ios-demo` | Alpha | | macOS | RealityKit | SwiftUI | via SceneViewSwift | Alpha | | visionOS | RealityKit | SwiftUI | via SceneViewSwift | Alpha | | Web | Filament.js + WebXR | Kotlin/JS | `samples/web-demo` | Alpha | SceneView Web (sceneview-web v4.0.0) — see "## SceneView Web (Kotlin/JS + Filament.js)" section above for the full API reference. | Desktop | Software renderer | Compose Desktop | `samples/desktop-demo` | Alpha | | Flutter | Filament/RealityKit | PlatformView | `samples/flutter-demo` | Alpha | | React Native | Filament/RealityKit | Fabric | `samples/react-native-demo` | Alpha | ### Flutter Bridge API Package: `sceneview_flutter` (pub.dev) — Alpha, Android + iOS only.
