Discover ARKit 6

Discover how you can build more refined and powerful augmented reality apps with ARKit 6. We’ll explore how you can create AR experiences rendered in 4K HDR and take you through camera settings customizations for your app. We’ll also share how you can export high-resolution still images from an ARKit session, take advantage of Plane Estimation and Motion Capture, and add AR Location Anchors in new regions.

}
// Run the session.
session.run(config)

plane anchors swift · at 16:00 ↗ 
// Create a model entity sized to the plane's extent.
let planeEntity = ModelEntity(
    mesh: .generatePlane (
        width: planeExtent.width, 
        depth: planeExtent.height),
    materials: [material])

// Orient the entity.
planeEntity.transform = Transform(
    pitch: 0, 
    yaw: planeExtent.rotationOnYAxis, 
    roll: 0)

// Center the entity on the plane.
planeEntity.transform.translation = planeAnchor.center
