What is ARKit?

Developing remarkable augmented reality experiences for a diverse audience on iOS and iPadOS, which are recognized as top AR platforms globally, has become increasingly accessible. By leveraging powerful frameworks like ARKit and RealityKit, along with innovative resources such as Reality Composer and Reality Converter, transforming your ideas into augmented reality has never been easier. RealityKit 2 significantly improves your capacity to personalize and manage the AR experiences you create. With the introduction of new APIs, including Custom Rendering, Metal Shaders, and Post Processing, you can more effectively control the rendering pipeline and explore the freedom to design entirely new AR landscapes. Additionally, the newly available Object Capture API on macOS Monterey enables the rapid creation of unique 3D objects for AR using sophisticated photogrammetry methods in mere minutes. Reality Composer simplifies the development of interactive augmented reality experiences, making it possible for even those lacking 3D expertise to produce captivating content. Meanwhile, Reality Converter accelerates the conversion of your existing 3D models into the USDZ format, easing the integration of your creations into the AR environment. This remarkable suite of tools and frameworks empowers developers to explore and expand the limits of what can be achieved in the realm of augmented reality, opening up new avenues for creativity and innovation. As the technology continues to evolve, the potential applications for AR are virtually limitless.
