Hello,

I’m trying to view point clouds in AR (ARKit, iPhone). Are they supported?

I’m using the Handheld AR demo scene and In the editor, I have successfully imported and can view point cloud objects and some “normal” meshes in my scene.

When I’m testing the AR scene on my phone, the meshes show up as expected but the point clouds are nowhere to be seen. I’ve tested using a custom material on the point clouds also. If you have any pointers, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you.

Did you find a solution? Trying point cloud on Android but nothing showing up.
