Что такое Area mode

Area mode is a new feature for Object Capture introduced by Apple. It allows for the capture of uneven terrain outdoors, objects that you can't walk all the way around, or 2.5D surfaces. This mode is particularly useful for creating 3D models in environments where traditional bounding box methods are not feasible.

Here are some key points about area mode:

1. Ease of Use: Unlike the previous method where you needed to call start, then start detecting to begin detecting an object and setting the bounding box, area mode simplifies the process. You can skip the call to start detecting and proceed directly to start capturing.

2. UI Indication: The UI will indicate that it is in area mode, providing a seamless transition. You can add the new hide object reticle modifier to the object capture view to indicate that the start button will enter area mode.

3. Capture Process: When using area mode, you aim at your subject and tap start capture. You'll receive haptic feedback, hear a tone, and see a pulse in the capture preview. It's important to move slowly and ensure that captured images overlap with one another for the best results.

4. Visualization: The new camera pose visualization helps you check where you've captured images to ensure you have all the data you need while on location.

5. Output: Models created with area mode are ideal for use in 3D environments or artistic projects on Apple Vision Pro.
