Powerful and Reliable Prototyping Tool

I’ve been using ZIG SIM PRO for XR prototyping, and it has become one of the essential tools in my workflow. Streaming sensor data, ARKit tracking, image detection, and other device features to development environments is incredibly easy and reliable. It saves a tremendous amount of development time and lets me focus on building experiences instead of writing boilerplate code. Highly recommended for XR developers, creative coders, and anyone working on interactive installations.

Cameras incompatible with iOS 26.x

The cameras no longer work with the update to iOS. Eg., select ARKit, Tracking Type: Face, Feature Points: on and click Start. The data no longer updates. Click on the camera, which turns yellow, and then displays only a black screen.

Doesn’t work on iPhone 14 latest iOS

Depth map crashes, no Fb from the Cie after sending them report…. So a shame

NDI and ARKIT not possible simultaneously?

I don't understand why it is not possible to stream both at the same time? Is this a hardware limitation or a choice by the developers? Makes the app not useful for my purposes :(

ARKit problem

Thanks for your awesome product.
Although, I have problem with ARkit, i’m using iphone 12 pro max and in ARkit section, it always jumps out of the application when i try to set it up on my computer. Do you have any solution to help me out?
