Apple's ARKit has introduced several enhancements for spatial computing experiences, particularly focusing on indoor navigation and room tracking. The new room tracking feature allows ARKit to identify room boundaries and transitions between rooms, enabling apps to tailor experiences based on the specific space a user is in. This is achieved through the room tracking data provider, which requires world sensing authorization and provides information about the rooms visited and the current room's anchor.
Additionally, ARKit has improved its world tracking capabilities to handle various lighting conditions better, ensuring that tracking remains robust even in challenging environments. This is particularly useful for indoor navigation where lighting can vary significantly.
For more detailed information on these features, you can refer to the session Create enhanced spatial computing experiences with ARKit (02:30) which covers room tracking, and Create enhanced spatial computing experiences with ARKit (09:34) for world tracking improvements.
