Creating Immersive views on visionOS using AI-generated 360° images, SwiftUI and RealityKit

One of the many challenges with creating virtual reality and augmented reality applications for visionOS is the 3D content creation. Quite often, its costly to create 3D scenes for all parts of your application which can make development slow. The way we have solved this at Serendipity AI was by selecting a few key parts of our visionOS app that merit full 3D experiences but also providing 3D-like immersive views using 360 images and a few 3D object manipulation tricks to make them seem real to the user.

In this article we will go over:

1. What is an immersive view and how to design one

2. How to create a realistic immersive view using a 360 image

3. Modifying our approach to load images through URL
