ARKit is a framework developed by Apple that provides a suite of core real-time algorithms to power spatial computing experiences. It is used to create augmented reality (AR) applications by leveraging various cameras and sensors on Apple devices. ARKit offers capabilities such as world tracking, scene understanding, and hand tracking, which allow developers to build immersive and interactive AR experiences.
Some key features of ARKit include:
- Room Tracking: Customizes experiences based on the room you're in.
- Plane Detection: Detects surfaces in the real world and delivers data in the form of plane anchors.
- Object Tracking: Tracks real-world items to create interactive visualizations.
- World Tracking: Provides robust tracking even in various lighting conditions.
- Hand Tracking: Enhances user interaction by detecting hand gestures.
