To set up an ARKit app, you can follow the guidance provided in the session titled "Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit" from WWDC 2024. Here's a brief overview of the steps involved:
-
Set Up Spatial Tracking: Begin by setting up spatial tracking so that your app can understand hand and environment data. This involves configuring hand anchors and other spatial tracking features to ensure your app can interact with the real world effectively.
-
Build a User Interface: Develop a user interface that allows users to control elements like brushes and canvases. This UI can be built using SwiftUI and RealityKit to provide a seamless experience.
-
Customize Visuals: Use RealityKit's capabilities to customize meshes, textures, and shaders, allowing for a polished visual design. This can include creating dynamic textures and spatial UI elements.
-
Utilize New Features: Leverage new RealityKit APIs to enhance the app's functionality, such as generating brush geometry with Metal.
For a more detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session Build a spatial drawing app with RealityKit (02:43) which covers setting up spatial tracking.
