ARKit is a framework developed by Apple that provides a suite of real-time algorithms to power spatial computing experiences on devices like iPhone, iPad, and now Vision Pro. It is designed to help developers create immersive augmented reality (AR) applications by offering capabilities such as tracking, scene understanding, and hand gesture recognition. ARKit allows apps to understand and interact with the physical environment by using features like room tracking, plane detection, and object tracking. These features enable developers to create interactive and engaging AR experiences by anchoring virtual content to real-world objects and spaces.
