Apple’s Reality Composer Pro Preview (opens in a new tab) is now available for Vision Pro. The companion app connects to Reality Composer Pro 3 on Mac so you can preview your 3D scenes inside the headset.

Change an object’s material, adjust an animation, or move something in the scene on your Mac, and Apple says you can see the result live inside the headset. You can check how the scene looks around you while you are still creating it.

The companion app works with Reality Composer Pro 3, Apple’s Mac editor for building and preparing 3D content. Scene previews work without a linked Xcode project, so artists and designers can view their work on Vision Pro before building it into a complete app.

Previewing a scene and testing a finished app are separate steps. Apple’s documentation (opens in a new tab) says testing app code, views, and interactions requires linking an Xcode project. The Preview app handles the on-device look at the scene itself.

Apple currently offers Reality Composer Pro 3 as a beta for Apple silicon Macs running macOS Tahoe 26.5 or later. Install the Mac editor and the Preview companion on Vision Pro, then choose Preview on Device in the editor to view your scene.
