The Complete ARKit and iOS13 Developer Course

Import the 3D backboard and 2D assets, create a new Xcode AR project with an augmented reality canvas, and load the basketball backboard and skin material into the scene.

Load the backboard into the scene, locate the backboard node, set its position, and add it to the scene. Prepare to implement gesture recognition to add the ball on taps.

Register a tap gesture recognizer to load a ball at the center, handle taps with a dedicated method, and compute the ball's position from the scene view's point of view.

Learn what a transform matrix is and the fundamentals of matrices in this lesson that covers all you need to know.

Master reading a 4x4 transform matrix by row and column, and learn to extract the camera location and orientation from the transform matrix for ARKit projects.

Access the camera's transform matrix, extract its location and orientation, and compute the camera's world position by adding the location and orientation components.

Tap the screen to spawn a basketball at the camera position, built from a sphere with radius 0.15, textured with a basketball skin, and added to the scene.

Create a physics body for the ball, set it dynamic with a physics shape, and add a static backboard with its own physics body to allow throwing towards the backboard.

create a horizontal action on the backboard node that moves one metre left and then one metre right, wrap it in a sequence, and repeat the sequence twice.

Create the second action by defining a move with x y z, build a four-step action sequence (right, down, left, up), and run and repeat it on a node.

Implement the user interface by adding and constraining buttons on the main storyboard. Embed the buttons in a stack view, then link actions to functions and test the user interface.

Explore adding a final custom button in an ARKit iOS13 project by creating a custom button class with a background color, corner radius, and border, and wiring outlets and actions.

Create a reusable function to generate all planets in an augmented reality solar system, parameterized by radius and image name, then instantiate sun and planets as scene nodes.

Create a rotate object function that applies rotation by degrees on the y axis to a planet node, using a duration.

Create a reusable function to add two rings around the sun, using ring radius and pipe radius, apply a dark grey material, and attach the rings to the sun.

Demonstrate how to create a Mercury planet with a sun and ring, position via a vector, attach to a base node, and animate independent rotations around the sun.

Add Venus, Mercury, Earth, and Mars with rings, set their positions and rotations, and group statements for clarity as the planets rotate around the sun in the scene.

Add the remaining four planets with rings and precise radii, positions, and rotations, linking them to a base node, then fix Saturn's ring motion by correcting a Venus ring mistake.

Create a moon in the solar system scene with a defined radius. Configure a ring with ring radii and pipe radii, set position, and attach the moon to the ring.

Add Saturn's rings by building a box geometry, texture with Saturn.png, attach to a loop node, position it around Saturn, and rotate for tilt.

Import 3D models and 2D icons into an ARKit project, assign diffuse, specular, and normal maps to the shuttle and UFO, and organize assets for future effects.

Create flame and star particle effects by configuring a particle system with birthrate, direction, lifespan, and gravity, then attach the effects to a shuttle scene.

Set up ui buttons in the ar scene to spawn a shuttle and a UFO, wire outlets and actions, and apply layout constraints.

Load a 3D object into the main AR scene, locate it in the scene graph, scale it appropriately, and attach a star particle system for visual effects.

Launch and position the rocket, UFO, and space shuttle in AR by setting SCN vector positions and scales, and create actions with duration and repeat forever behavior.

Create a looping UFO action with left and right moves and a rotation, arranged in a repeat forever sequence with ease-in-out timing for a smooth flying saucer animation.

Learn to implement single and double tap gestures in an ARKit iOS 13 project to launch vehicles, rotate the UFO, and move it left and right.

Implement a deletion button in the ARKit iOS13 project, linking an outlet and action, toggle its hidden state, and remove the selected node from its parent.
