Yes, there are updates related to Photogrammetry and RoomPlan at WWDC.

Photogrammetry Updates

In the session titled "Discover area mode for Object Capture," several updates were introduced to enhance the flexibility and quality of 3D reconstructions. A new data loading API was introduced, which simplifies the process of loading photogrammetry samples by automatically filling in data properties available in the image, such as depth data and gravity for images from the object capture UI. This API provides both synchronous and asynchronous versions, allowing for more flexibility in creating photogrammetry sessions. Additionally, new read-only properties were added to load data saved by the object capture session capture UI, which can be useful for custom reconstruction pipelines or advanced visualization of data captures. For more details, you can refer to the session Discover area mode for Object Capture.

RoomPlan Updates

In the session "Create enhanced spatial computing experiences with ARKit," a new room tracking feature was introduced. This feature allows ARKit to identify the boundaries of the room you are in and compute precisely aligned geometries of the detected walls and floor. It can also recognize transitions between rooms, which helps apps exhibit different experiences based on the room you are in. This is part of the broader updates to ARKit's scene understanding capabilities. For more information, you can refer to the session Create enhanced spatial computing experiences with ARKit.
