Displaying a stereoscopic image
At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Build a stereoscopic image by applying textures to the left and right eye in a shader graph material. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain EntryPoint → MainView → SwiftUI / RealityKit APIs. |
| Main patterns | No named application pattern supported by the extracted structure |
| Project style | 4 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |
| Execution model | Source-visible boundaries: @MainActor, async declaration or closure; none alone proves a background thread. |
| State/event model | No structured observation or publisher-scheduling marker indexed. |
| Key frameworks/packages | SwiftUI, RealityKit; 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: Swift.
- The verified tree contains 4 project/configuration file(s) and 4 source declaration(s).

}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 visionOS.
Ownership and state
classDiagram
EntryPoint --> visionOSAPIs : uses
Ownership evidence
Stereo-Image/Views/MainView.swift:8 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
import SwiftUI| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
EntryPoint |
visionOS APIs | Uses framework types; no stored lifecycle relationship was detected in the architecture anchor. | The declaring implementation controls calls. |
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. | Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:13 |
| Suspension boundary | async declaration or closure |
The source declares or crosses an asynchronous boundary; it does not by itself establish background execution. | Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:13 |
@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.
Reference code
Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:13 — representative execution boundary
@MainActor private func applyTextureToEntity(box: ModelEntity, material: inout ShaderGraphMaterial) async {
// ...
let leftFileName = "Shop_L"
// ...
}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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source import | SwiftUI |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Stereo-Image/App/EntryPoint.swift:8 |
| Source import | RealityKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:8 |
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
Stereo-Image/Views/MainView.swift:10 — representative type boundary
struct MainView: View {
var body: some View {
StereoImage()
}
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
MainView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
EntryPoint |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | App |
StereoImageCreator |
Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
StereoImage |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | View |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
applyTextureToEntity (Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:13) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: hide an implementation step that is not part of the collaboration surface. |
createImageEntity (Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:48) |
public |
The symbol is visible to importing modules. | Inference: make the declaration available across a module or target boundary. |
Reference code
Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift:13 — representative boundary
@MainActor private func applyTextureToEntity(box: ModelEntity, material: inout ShaderGraphMaterial) async {
// ...
let leftFileName = "Shop_L"
// ...
}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 |
|---|---|---|
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | MainView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| No named application pattern | Stereo-Image/App/EntryPoint.swift:10 |
The verified source directly composes concrete framework types; this document avoids forcing a pattern name. |
Naming conventions
- Types: View: MainView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
applyTextureToEntity,createImageEntity. - Files:
Stereo-Image/App/EntryPoint.swift,Stereo-Image/Views/MainView.swift,Stereo-Image/Creator/StereoImageCreator.swift,Stereo-Image/Views/StereoImage.swift.
Architecture takeaways
EntryPointis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, RealityKit 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.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
