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-isolated state
Project style 12 scanned source file(s) across C/Objective-C header, Metal, Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries.

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 {
    // ...
}

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.

Class and protocol design

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

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-isolated state Compositor-Services-Interaction/Renderer.swift:34 Actor annotations make the concurrency ownership boundary explicit.

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.
