## What is Reality Composer?

Easily prototype and produce AR experiences directly in AR with no prior 3D experience.

• Drag and drop to place and rotate virtual objects to assemble your scene directly in AR or on the canvas.

• Build your scene by importing your own .usdz files or take advantage of the ready to use virtual objects in Reality Composer’s built-in AR content library, so you can get up and running quickly.

• Create high-quality 3D models using photogrammetry and a guided capture process leveraging the advanced LiDAR sensors on your iPhone or iPad (iPhone 12 Pro or later and iPad Pro 5th generation or later).

• Customize a virtual object’s size, style, and more.

• Add animations that let you move, scale, and add emphasis like a ‘wiggle’ or ‘spin’ to virtual objects, without having any animation experience.

• Add spatial audio, all of which can be set up to happen upon a user tapping on those objects, coming in close proximity with them, or other triggers.

• Easily send your project back and forth between your iOS device and your Mac with the Reality Composer app bundled with Xcode.

• Export your complete scene as a .usdz file to use in AR Quick Look, use in your existing 3D projects, or integrate it into your Xcode project with Reality Composer on Mac.

• Record sensor and camera data in the actual location you are building it for, and then replay it on your iOS device while building your app in Xcode later. This lets you iterate and build out your AR experience using the recorded data without the need to physically move your device or go to another location.

### 1/5 — Xóa

*2026-08-08, version 1.6*

1 sao

### 1/5 — Can’t capture an object like the trailer in the description

*2026-07-12, version 1.6*

I have searched everywhere and they all tell me the same thing press the + in reality captures files i did that and it doesn’t even bring so anywhere to scan an object

### 1/5 — I'm having a lot of issues

*2026-07-06, version 1.6*

I'm giving this one star because I downloaded it and I am visually impaired unused accessibility. However, the accessibility was not telling me anything! It's a very difficult to use and I am not good at dragging. If there could be a feature where you tap on certain objects or VoiceOver, you double tap on objects it would be much easier.

### 1/5 — Crashes instantly

*2026-06-21, version 1.6*

App crashes as soon as I try to use it on iPhone 17 pro. Haven’t been able to get 1 scan done. Get 50% of the way though and it locks up. Sometimes give an error.

### 1/5 — Crush after crush

*2026-06-20, version 1.6*

Every scan is a crush

### 1/5 — Crashes recently

*2026-06-09, version 1.6*

Seems to have stopped working. First I get “The operation couldn't be completed. (_RealityK-it_SwiftUl.ObjectCaptureSes-
sion.Error error 3.)
Try again later” and if I try to scan after that, it just crashes.

### 3/5 — Can’t get a solid scan

*2026-06-05, version 1.6*

App needs updating, I’m on the most recent version and it’s crashing every time I try to scan something on my desk on the 17 pro max. All the other 3D scanning apps are monthly subscriptions now. Apple, please fix.

### 1/5 — Skanowanie objektu wysypuje blad

*2026-05-29, version 1.6*

Po chwili skanowania wyskakuje blad na 17 pro max (The operation couldn't be completed. (_RealityK-it_SwiftUl.ObjectCaptureSes-
sion.Error error 3.)
Try again later
OK)

### 2/5 — A small issue

*2026-05-26, version 1.6*

Ahem so I am using a iPhone 17 and the scan function is nonexistent for me but I don’t know why, anyway help please

### 1/5 — Feels too bad

*2026-05-24, version 1.6*

This make the app not working

## Frequently asked questions about Reality Composer

### What can I build with this app?

You can build and produce augmented reality (AR) experiences. This includes assembling scenes by placing virtual objects, importing your own 3D models, and adding animations and spatial audio to make your AR creations interactive.

### Do I need 3D experience to use this app?

No, the app is designed for users with no prior 3D experience. It features a drag-and-drop interface for placing and rotating objects, and simple tools for adding animations and audio, making AR creation accessible to everyone.

### How can I use the AR experiences I create?

You can export your complete scenes as .usdz files. These files can be used directly in AR Quick Look on compatible devices, integrated into your existing 3D projects, or further developed within Xcode on a Mac.

### What devices are compatible with the photogrammetry feature?

The photogrammetry feature, which allows for creating 3D models using LiDAR sensors, requires an iPhone 12 Pro or later, or an iPad Pro 5th generation or later. This leverages the advanced sensor capabilities of these devices.

### Is this app free to use?
