I have a very simple drawing of [LiveKit.io](http://LiveKit.io) logo that is about 4"x4"x4" that is sitting almost on the origin. It is about 6 rectangles. See the attached project.

I am trying to just view it in the camera as AR but it just sits on the screen that says move your iPad. Here is a short video of what I am doing. I tried it for \>10 minutes and never put the object on the surface so I can view it.

Short Snip of me moving the ipad:

That looks very cool in the Vision Pro!

Have you tried it moving back and scanning the whole table like the leg.

iPad might have hard time with reading very flat surfaces.

Yea, pretty nice and fast on AVP.

I did try that, also walking around the table, and scanning the whole room, also just a small area thinking maybe it was overwhelmed by too much data.

Just for info,  
It’s OK on my old Iphone 8.  
Fast, chrome texture and put easily your model on my wood desk.

I just tried a 12"x12"x12" untextured cube and that did not work either.
