To make two devices map to the same ARKit anchor points, you can use the ARKit's world tracking and anchor capabilities. Here are the steps you can follow:
-
World Tracking: Ensure both devices are using ARKit's world tracking to understand the environment. This is foundational for mapping anchor points accurately.
-
Anchor Setup: Use ARKit to set up anchors in the environment. Anchors represent a position and orientation in three-dimensional space.
-
Plane Detection: Utilize plane detection to identify surfaces in the environment. This can help in placing virtual content consistently across devices.
-
Object Tracking: If you are tracking specific objects, ARKit can now track real-world objects that are statically placed in your environment. This can help in ensuring both devices recognize the same objects and their positions.
-
Spatial Tracking Session: Use RealityKit's spatial tracking session to access and manage anchor entity transforms. This can help in synchronizing the anchor points across devices.
By following these steps, you can ensure that both devices map to the same ARKit anchor points, providing a consistent augmented reality experience across multiple devices.
