Description

Some 3D resources have encoding of stateful behavior - e.g. the glTF Interactivity proposal and the now-defunct (but still honored) Preliminary_Action API introduced in Reality Composer 2019.

We've discussed in the group, and indicated in the explainer, that the contents of a model resource - independent of the input format - should not be stateful in and of itself. The question, then: What do we do with input files that are intrinsically stateful? The current behavior in visionOS from 1.0 to 26 is to reject the file. Should we codify that?

Research direction

Start with the explainer and the linked glTF Interactivity proposal, then compare their treatment of stateful model content with the stated visionOS behavior from versions 1.0 through 26. The work is done when the group has decided whether intrinsically stateful input files must be rejected and that decision is codified in the relevant specification text.
