Monitoring fit and field of view fidelity
At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Respond to changes in fit and field of view fidelity on Apple Vision Pro by using the Visual Fidelity API. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain VisualFidelityApp → ContentView → AppModel → SwiftUI / ARKit APIs. |
| Main patterns | No named application pattern supported by the extracted structure |
| Project style | 8 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |
| Execution model | Source-visible boundaries: @MainActor, Task, await suspension point, Task closure isolated to MainActor; none alone proves a background thread. |
| State/event model | Source-visible mechanisms: @Observable, SwiftUI state property wrapper. |
| Key frameworks/packages | SwiftUI, ARKit, os, RealityKit; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels. |

}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 evidence
ARKit-VisualFidelity/VisualFidelityApp.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
@main
struct VisualFidelityApp: App {
// ...
@State private var appModel = AppModel()
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
VisualFidelityApp |
AppModel (appModel) |
owns wrapper-managed state | Owning lexical scope |
AppModel |
Logger (logger) |
creates and retains | Initialized by the owner; the binding is immutable |
AppModel |
FieldOfViewSelection (selectedFieldOfView) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
AppModel |
ImmersiveSpaceState (immersiveSpaceState) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
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. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:68 |
| Task creation | Task |
The source creates an unstructured task; surrounding context determines inherited actor isolation. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:76 |
| Suspension boundary | await suspension point |
The source declares or crosses an asynchronous boundary; it does not by itself establish background execution. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:76 |
| Main isolation | Task closure isolated to MainActor |
The cited operation explicitly enters a main-actor-isolated region. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ToggleMonitoringButton.swift:17 |
@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.

@MainActor
func startMonitoring() {
guard monitoringState == .stopped else { return }
// ...
}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. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:12 |
| State propagation | SwiftUI state property wrapper |
A SwiftUI property wrapper supplies or observes UI state. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ConfigurationView.swift:12 |
| Source import | SwiftUI |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ConfigurationView.swift:8 |
| Source import | ARKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:8 |
| Source import | os |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:9 |
| Source import | RealityKit |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ImmersiveView.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
ARKit-VisualFidelity/VisualFidelityApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary
@main
struct VisualFidelityApp: App {
// ...
@State private var appModel = AppModel()
// ...
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
VisualFidelityApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
AppModel |
Feature data or observable state | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
ConfigurationView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ContentView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ImmersiveView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
StatusView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
ImmersiveSpaceState |
Represents mutable feature state | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
MonitoringState |
Represents mutable feature state | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
FieldOfViewSelection |
Defines a closed set of feature states or choices | String, CaseIterable, Identifiable |
ToggleMonitoringButton |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
logger (ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:19) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
monitoringState (ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:45) |
private(set) |
Read access follows the declaration; writes remain in the private scope. | Inference: allow observation while reserving invariant-changing writes for the owner. |
deviceFitStatus (ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:48) |
private(set) |
Read access follows the declaration; writes remain in the private scope. | Inference: allow observation while reserving invariant-changing writes for the owner. |
isFieldOfViewValid (ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:51) |
private(set) |
Read access follows the declaration; writes remain in the private scope. | Inference: allow observation while reserving invariant-changing writes for the owner. |
Reference code
ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift:19 — representative boundary
@Observable
final class AppModel {
// ...
private let logger = Logger(subsystem: "com.example.apple-samplecode.ARKit-VisualFidelity", category: "AppModel")
// ...
}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 | VisualFidelityApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| Feature data or observable state | AppModel |
The source’s Model suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | ConfigurationView, ContentView, ImmersiveView, StatusView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| No named application pattern | ARKit-VisualFidelity/VisualFidelityApp.swift:10 |
The verified source directly composes concrete framework types; this document avoids forcing a pattern name. |

}Naming conventions
- Types: App: VisualFidelityApp; Model: AppModel; View: ConfigurationView, ContentView, ImmersiveView, StatusView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
startMonitoring,stopMonitoring,monitor,apply,setAnchor,sync,statusRow. - Files:
ARKit-VisualFidelity/VisualFidelityApp.swift,ARKit-VisualFidelity/Model/AppModel.swift,ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ConfigurationView.swift,ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ContentView.swift,ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/ImmersiveView.swift,ARKit-VisualFidelity/Views/StatusView.swift.
Architecture takeaways
VisualFidelityAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, ARKit, 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.
