'''RealityKit''' is a high-performance 3D [[framework]] developed by [[Apple Inc.]] for creating [[augmented reality]] (AR) and [[spatial computing]] experiences across Apple platforms. The RealityKit framework was built from the ground up specifically for augmented reality with photo-realistic rendering, camera effects, animations, physics, and more. RealityKit was first introduced at the [[Worldwide Developers Conference]] (WWDC) 2019 on June 3 alongside [[iOS 13]], [[iPadOS 13]], and [[macOS 10.15]] (Catalina), with public release on September 19, 2019<ref name="wwdc2019">Apple reveals ARKit 3 with RealityKit and Reality Composer by Jeremy Horwitz, VentureBeat. 2019-06-03.</ref>. The framework provides developers with native [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]] [[API]]s for realistic [[rendering]], [[animation]], [[physics simulation]], and [[spatial audio]], making AR development more accessible and efficient.
