Morten Just (@mortenjust) wrapped some books with web pages, looks surprisingly nice. From a technical POV, it’s just a box geometry same height as the book, then moved down by height * 0.5.
Balls Distance Measurement
Laan Labs (@laanlabs) worked on some sphere detection in AR and created a bocce ball scoring mode for their app AirMeasure.

Morten Just (@mortenjust) used Image Live Tracking to show handwritten tech instructions! Looks great, could be used with the 3D Object Detection feature of ARKit 2.0 as well.
