In the last article we used ARKit to detect horizontal planes in the real world, then visualized those planes. In this article we are now going to start adding virtual content to our AR experience and start interacting with the planes that were detected. By the end of this article…

In our first hello world ARKit app we setup our project and rendered a single virtual 3D cube which would render in the real world and track as you moved around. In this article, we will look at extracting 3D geometry from the real world and visualizing it. Detecting geometry…

With the beta release of ARKit by Apple, I will be writing a series of articles working through a real world example integrating ARKit in iOS. Every time I publish a new part to this series I will update the links below. As of the time of writing, you will need XCode Beta 9, and iOS11 beta in order to run and build these projects. Sample Code All sample code can be found here: https://github.com/markdaws/arkit-by-example The master branch is set to the most updated code, but there is a branch for each version of this article so you can follow along with a specific article.

This first article is going to create a really simple hello world AR app using ARKit. By the end we will be able to position a 3D cube inside the augmented world and move around it with our iOS device. To render 3D content inside ARKit, we are going to…

Overview Apple just released a beta of ARKit for iOS11 Beta. If you didn’t watch WWDC 2017, you can see an example of ARKit in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S14AVwaBF-Y This is Apple’s first step into the world of Augmented Reality, it’s really exciting in that you can build AR apps for a…

Sometimes you want to have access to a version number inside your go application, for example you might have a command line app that supports a “-version” option which prints the current app version. One way to do this is by using the go linker to inject the value into…
