Interacting with virtual content blended with passthrough

At a glance

Item Summary
Purpose Present a mixed immersion style space to draw content in a person’s surroundings, and choose how upper limbs appear with respect to rendered content.
App architecture A C/Objective-C header, Metal, Swift sample with the source-visible chain Compositor_Services_InteractionAppInteractionViewAppModelRendererCompositorServices APIs.
Main patterns Protocol-oriented abstraction, Actor isolation
Project style 12 scanned source file(s) across C/Objective-C header, Metal, Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries.
Execution model Source-visible boundaries: @MainActor, Task closure isolated to MainActor, Task, await suspension point, Sendable or @Sendable; none alone proves a background thread.
State/event model Source-visible mechanisms: @Observable, SwiftUI state property wrapper.
Key frameworks/packages CompositorServices, SwiftUI, simd, MetalKit, Spatial; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels.

Structure observations

  • Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
  • Primary languages: C/Objective-C header, Metal, Swift.
  • The verified tree contains 4 project/configuration file(s) and 20 source declaration(s).

Overall architecture

Reference code

Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:26 — architecture anchor

@main
struct InteractionApp: App {
    // ...
    @State private var appModel = AppModel()
    // ...
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Compositor Services.

Ownership and state

Ownership evidence

Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:29 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

@main
struct InteractionApp: App {
    // ...
    @State private var appModel = AppModel()
    // ...
}
Owner Object or state Relationship Mutation authority
InteractionApp AppModel (appModel) owns wrapper-managed state Owning lexical scope
RendererActor RendererActor (shared) creates and retains App/module collaborators
Renderer AppModel (appModel) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable
Renderer PathCollection (pathCollection) stores or receives Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety

Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.

Concern Source mechanism Verified placement or handoff Evidence
Main isolation @MainActor The cited annotation marks its attached declaration or closure as main-actor isolated. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:47
Main isolation Task closure isolated to MainActor The cited operation explicitly enters a main-actor-isolated region. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:47
Task creation Task The source creates an unstructured task; surrounding context determines inherited actor isolation. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:47
Suspension boundary await suspension point The source declares or crosses an asynchronous boundary; it does not by itself establish background execution. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:49
Transfer contract Sendable or @Sendable The source declares a sendability boundary; this alone does not synchronize mutable state. Compositor-Services-Interaction/PathCollection.swift:127

@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.

Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:47 — representative execution boundary

                    Task { @MainActor in
                        // ...
                            case .opened:
                        // ...
                    }

State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies

Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.

Category Mechanism or module Verified role Evidence
State propagation @Observable Observation macro publishes source-visible changes. Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:11
State propagation SwiftUI state property wrapper A SwiftUI property wrapper supplies or observes UI state. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:29
Source import CompositorServices The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Compositor_Services_InteractionApp.swift:9
Source import SwiftUI The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:8
Source import simd The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Renderer.swift:11
Source import MetalKit The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. Compositor-Services-Interaction/PathCollection.swift:11
Source import Spatial The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. Compositor-Services-Interaction/PathCollection.swift:9
Source import Metal The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. Compositor-Services-Interaction/Renderer.swift:9

receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.

Class and protocol design

Compositor-Services-Interaction/PathCollection.swift:16 — representative type boundary

@MainActor
private protocol Path {
    var id: PathID { get }
    var buffer: MTLBuffer { get }
    var vertexCount: Int { get }
    var parameters: PathProperties { get set }
}
Type Responsibility Depends on or conforms to
InteractionApp Application entry and top-level composition App
Renderer Owns drawing, GPU, or presentation processing Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
TintRenderer Owns drawing, GPU, or presentation processing Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
TintDrawCommand Represents or runs a user/system command Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
DrawCommand Represents or runs a user/system command Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
AppModel Feature data or observable state Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
InteractionView User-interface presentation and input forwarding View
PathCollectionDrawCommand Represents or runs a user/system command Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
PathDrawCommand Represents or runs a user/system command Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks
ImmersiveInteractionScene Scene lifecycle or scene-level composition Scene

The source explicitly defines local protocol relationships: CompletePathPath, ActivePathPath.

Access control

Symbol Access Verified effect Likely rationale
isFirstLaunch (Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:14) public The symbol is visible to importing modules. Inference: make the declaration available across a module or target boundary.
showImmersiveSpace (Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:15) public The symbol is visible to importing modules. Inference: make the declaration available across a module or target boundary.
immersiveSpaceIsShown (Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:16) public The symbol is visible to importing modules. Inference: make the declaration available across a module or target boundary.
immersionStyle (Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:17) public The symbol is visible to importing modules. Inference: make the declaration available across a module or target boundary.

Reference code

Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift:14 — representative boundary

@Observable
public class AppModel {
    // ...
    public var isFirstLaunch = true
    // ...
}

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Logic ownership and placement

Logic Owning type or file Placement rationale
Application entry and top-level composition InteractionApp The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit.
Represents or runs a user/system command DrawCommand, PathCollectionDrawCommand, PathDrawCommand, TintDrawCommand The source’s Command suffix makes this role explicit.
Feature data or observable state AppModel The source’s Model suffix makes this role explicit.
Owns drawing, GPU, or presentation processing Renderer, TintRenderer The source’s Renderer suffix makes this role explicit.
Scene lifecycle or scene-level composition ImmersiveInteractionScene The source’s Scene suffix makes this role explicit.
User-interface presentation and input forwarding InteractionView The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit.

Design patterns

Pattern Source evidence Purpose or tradeoff
Protocol-oriented abstraction Compositor-Services-Interaction/PathCollection.swift:28 A local protocol and concrete conformance create an explicit capability boundary.
Actor isolation Compositor-Services-Interaction/Renderer.swift:34 A declared actor creates an explicit isolation boundary; its executor is not described as a background thread.

Naming conventions

  • Types: App: InteractionApp; Command: DrawCommand, PathCollectionDrawCommand, PathDrawCommand, TintDrawCommand; Model: AppModel; Renderer: Renderer, TintRenderer; Scene: ImmersiveInteractionScene; View: InteractionView.
  • Protocols: Path.
  • Methods: makeConfiguration, defaultRenderPipelineDescriptor, memorylessTexture, getMultisampleRenderTarget, renderLoop, renderPassDescriptor, renderFrame, buildMetalVertexDescriptor.
  • Files: Compositor-Services-Interaction/Renderer.swift, Compositor-Services-Interaction/TintRenderer.swift, Compositor-Services-Interaction/AppModel.swift, Compositor-Services-Interaction/InteractionView.swift, Compositor-Services-Interaction/PathCollection.swift, Compositor-Services-Interaction/ImmersiveInteractionScene.swift.

Architecture takeaways

  • Compositor_Services_InteractionApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
  • Framework work reaches CompositorServices, SwiftUI, simd, MetalKit through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
  • Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
  • Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
  • Local protocol relationships provide an explicit substitution boundary.
