ARKit is a framework by Apple that provides advanced augmented reality (AR) capabilities for iOS and visionOS devices. It includes a variety of real-time algorithms for tracking and scene understanding, which are essential for creating immersive AR experiences.

Key Features of ARKit:

  1. Scene Understanding:

    • Room Tracking: Identifies the boundaries of a room and computes geometries of detected walls and floors. It can also recognize transitions between rooms, allowing apps to tailor experiences based on the current room.
    • Plane Detection: Updated to help customize experiences based on the room you're in.
  2. Object Tracking:

    • Allows for precise placement of virtual content on real-world items, unlocking new use cases for spatial computing.
  3. World Tracking:

    • More robust under various lighting conditions, providing reliable tracking data.
  4. Hand Tracking:

    • Improved to enhance user interaction with virtual content.

Example Applications:

  • Blackbox: Uses ARKit to detect hand gestures for solving puzzles.
  • Super Fruit Ninja: Utilizes hand tracking for slicing fruits and scene understanding for realistic effects.
