Image anchoring
We've added capability in Apple Vision Pro to support image anchoring. This enables you to fix the position of your Jig in the real world when using Apple Vision Pro by tracking to a special image.
Image anchoring is designed for:
  • Trade show exhibitors who want consistent, accurate positioning of AR content within their physical booth environment.
  • Training instructors conducting hands-on, immersive classroom learning experiences or simulated work environments.
  • Sales and product demonstration teams aiming for seamless AR presentations in person.
In person multiplayer support
You can now host in-person multiplayer presentations using SharePlay and ensure everyone sees your 3D content in the exact the shared context. When doing this, your interactions and content is synchronized in real time, including object scale, pulling apart objects, your current presentation steps, drawing and annotations.
Reload latest version improvements
When editing your Jigs, and previewing on Apple Vision Pro, the app now remembers the world tracking (and image anchors) you previously used when reloading your content, so that you don't have to continuously re-place your Jig in augmented reality after each save and reload.
3D models in Jigs now support custom origin position and rotation pivot points, making it easier to create realistic animations like opening doors, moving robotic arms, or spinning objects. This feature gives creators greater control over how models move, scale, and rotate.

JigSpace 3.30.0

The JigSpace editor for Windows, Mac, and iPad has been updated to support multi-user editing and new upload formats USDZ and glTF.

Upload glTF and USDZ models to Jigs‍
Bring your 3D designs to life with seamless support for .gltf, .glb and .usdz 3D model file formats. Import your models directly into your Jigs from hundreds of applications with ease. This beta release supports geometry, scale, and color, with importing textures and material settings coming soon.
Read more about both file formats below.
Collaborate with multiple editors‍
image
Jigs now support unlimited editors, so you can invite engineers, designers, and subject matter experts to contribute directly to your 3D presentations. With multi-user editing you can:
  • Add as many individual team mates to edit your 3D presentation
  • Set a Jig to be editable by anyone in your team
  • See who is editing a Jig at any time, and who in your team has permission to view or edit.
  • Be notified if you are currently editing a Jig, and someone else wants to edit.
Bug fixes and improvements‍
Jigs will now only appear in the My Jigs tab when you are signed into that specific team. This could previously confuse some users when creating and editing from My Jigs and being a member of multiple teams.
We’ve also fixed a range of bugs and simplified some of the user interfaces to improve your 3D presentation creation.
Small update which fixed an issue stopping Jigs with large numbers of textures from loading from offline mode on Vision Pro.
You can also see "What's New" to Jig on Vision Pro when the app updates.
You can now invite others to join you in fully spatial presentations using spatial personas on Vision Pro.
You’ll not only share the same space but also see and interact with each other as if you’re in the same room together. Simply turn on your spatial persona while in a FaceTime call and start a presentation by tapping the SharePlay button in the top right corner of the Jig app's home screen.
See this example of Jig multiplayer training presentation using spatial personas and FaceTime.
You can now view rich text formatting in labels and instructions on Jigs when viewed in Apple Vision Pro. If you have already added formatting to your text, there is no action to take, your Jigs will work as expected.
Formatting you can add to text labels and text instructions includes:
  • Text size
  • Text color
  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Underline
  • Links to websites
Note: rich text formatting does not apply to 3D text boxes.
New 'offline mode' enables you to download Jigs to view later without internet access, or when internet connections are poor, such as large events, remote locations, or during air travel. This also provides greater reliability when you’re on the go currently tethering to an iPhone hotspot or guest Wifi.
You can download any Jig that is yours, your teams, or that has been shared directly with your JigSpace account.
Offline mode - download and view JigSpace on Vision Pro
We’ve added more capabilities to our Vision Pro app to bring Jigs you create up to the same parity of capability as when you view them on iPhone, iPad and web browser.
Text labels on Vision Pro
Now when viewing on Vision Pro, any Jigs you create containing text boxes and text labels attached to an object will now appear in immersive spatial views. You can set these text labels to always appear, or only when tapped.
Floating text label on 3D jig object on Apple Vision Pro
Text boxes on Vision Pro
Text boxes in your existing Jigs will now display on Vision Pro.
Text boxes are very flexible and can be used to add titles, custom annotations, and detailed information panels anywhere in your Jigs. They can have color, and material backgrounds added, or set to transparent to integrate with your other 3D content.

Password protected Jigs
When you protect your Jigs with a password, these can now also be viewed on Vision Pro by anyone with the password.

We’ve also improved the performance and reliability of Jigs with pull-apart settings enabled, as well as other important bug fixes.
You can now log in to the visionOS app and view your own Jigs from your account! Go to the visionOS AppStore to update now.
Main updates:
  • View your 3D presentations (Jigs) in your JigSpace account that are created on Windows, Mac, iPad, or iPhone apps.
  • Guest mode support on visionOS after you sign into your account
  • Browse your Jigs in 'My Jigs', ‘Team Jigs’, or 'Shared with me' tabs.
  • View secure private Jigs
  • Quick access to your most recently viewed Jigs at the top of each browsing tab
  • Switch between teams, if you are a member of two or more teams, by tapping on your team name in the main menu.
  • You can reload your Jig from the app settings menu while viewing a Jig to get its latest version. This will help creators who want to edit on desktop or iPad and view on Apple Vision Pro simultaneously.
  • Viewer settings panel is now organized better and groups similar actions or settings together.
View your own Jigs
All users can now create a 3D presentation in one of our apps for desktop, iPad, or iPhone, and view it in Apple Vision Pro. Open a Jig link and click 'View on Apple Vision Pro' to launch it into the native JigSpace spatial app. This early access capability is now generally available to all customers.
As a creator, you can preview your Jigs for the first 3 steps, and for 3 minutes duration at a time.
Customers on paid Apple Vision plans get unrestricted viewing of their 3D presentations.
Pull apart objects
You. can now pick up and pull apart objects inside your own Jigs, with your hands, just like the F1 Racing car and Jet Engine examples in the app.
Picking up and pulling apart objects mimics our natural interactions with physical objects, enhancing your ability to learn through:
Interactive 'hands on' product demonstrations: Technical sales professionals can offer customers a hands-on examination of products within a simulated environment. This is particularly useful in made-to-order, complex, or hard to transport products like machines or infrastructure.
Hands-on learning: Educators and subject matter experts can facilitate interactive discussions, asking participants to examine parts closely or share them with others.
New presentations have this enabled by default, and older presentations need to have this enabled in the Jig settings.
