Today we're excited to announce Aug, a comprehensive runtime built specifically for Apple's spatial computing platforms.

Why Aug?

Building spatial computing applications is hard. Developers need to juggle ARKit, RealityKit, Core ML, SwiftUI, and a dozen other frameworks just to create basic experiences. Aug changes that.

What Makes Aug Different

Aug provides a unified, declarative API that feels native to Swift and SwiftUI. Here's a simple example:

swift
1import Aug
2
3@main
4struct MyApp: App {
5    var body: some Scene {
6        AugmentedSpace {
7            SpatialView {
8                Model3D(named: "scene")
9                    .augIntelligence(.environmentAware)
10                    .gesture(.spatialTap)
11            }
12        }
13    }
14}

Key Features

  • Zero Latency Runtime - Built on Swift 6 concurrency for 90fps experiences
  • Foundation Models Integration - On-device AI that understands spatial context
  • App Intents Ready - Deep integration with Shortcuts and Siri
  • Developer-First API - Intuitive, declarative, and type-safe
  • Getting Started

    Aug is available now in private beta. We're working with select developers to refine the framework before our public release.

    If you're building spatial computing experiences on Apple platforms, we'd love to hear from you.
