WhatsApp is arkit

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.
