ARKit - Create Augmented Reality Apps for iOS Apps

Discover how ARKit enables augmented reality on iOS by placing virtual objects in the real world and using world tracking with a live camera.

Set up an augmented reality iOS project in Xcode using the AR template, configure SceneKit with AR world tracking, and explore ship assets, textures, and AR session configurations.

Create a red 3D cube in an ARKit scene with SceneKit using SCNBox, attach it to a scene node, and enable default lighting for realistic AR shading.

Create an augmented reality moon by texturing a 20 cm radius sphere with a high-resolution moon map, then place it in your living room using ARKit.

learn to find and import 3d models for ar with turbo squid, download a dae dice, convert to a scene, and place it in a scene kit ar app.

Learn to detect horizontal planes in the real world with ARKit, convert plane anchors to scene planes, apply a grid texture, and place dice on the detected surface.

Detect screen touches and map them to real-world coordinates by hit testing against existing horizontal planes in ARKit. Learn touches began, results handling, and placing 3D content on detected planes.

Tap on a detected plane to perform a hit test and place the dice node at the real-world position using ARKit’s world transform, bringing 3D dice into view.

Animate dice in ar by rotating them along the x and z axes with random 90-degree steps to reveal different faces, using a 0.5 second rotate action.

Learn to roll all dice in an ARKit scene by tracking dice in an array, looping to apply a roll, and triggering the action from a button or shake.

Remove all dice from the AR scene view by tapping a trash icon, looping through the dice array, and removing each node from its parent.
