Compatibility

Scenery lets you build once and deploy to many platforms – but not every feature works everywhere. A small compatibility indicator appears throughout the editor next to features, contexts, and settings, telling you at a glance where each one is supported.

Reading the indicator

Tap a compatibility indicator to see per-platform support across iPhone & iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and the web (WebXR). Each platform shows one of three states:

  • Fully compatible – works as intended.
  • Partially compatible – available with limits. Often this means preview only: on Mac, for instance, you can preview content in the simulator but not experience it at full scale, because a Mac has no depth sensing or full world tracking.
  • Not compatible – not available on that platform.

Because you choose a tracking context first, the compatibility shown depends partly on that choice – the context picker updates its indicator as you select.

Authoring vs. viewing

Experiences are currently built on Mac and iPad (where the Create button appears). iPhone and Apple Vision Pro are primarily for viewing experiences.

The four platforms, the three states, and the per-context matrix are taken directly from the context-compatibility source. "Preview (simulator)" is the partial-on-Mac case; image tracking on the web needs the WebXR Incubations Chrome flag. Authoring on Mac + iPad (viewers on iPhone + Vision Pro) is product-confirmed, current as of now.
