arkit

To configure ARKit world tracking for horizontal planes, use ARWorldTrackingConfiguration to detect surfaces and anchor 3D content. You can then load USDZ assets as RealityKit entities and integrate them within your SwiftUI view hierarchy.

Yes, you can use RealityKit to load USDZ models into an entity hierarchy and apply materials. The framework supports occlusion, allowing virtual 3D content to be hidden by real-world objects detected during your AR session.

ARKit supports distinct session configurations for image tracking and face tracking. You specify the appropriate configuration to detect specific images or track facial movements, enabling different augmented reality experiences based on your use case.

The best way to add a coaching overlay is to configure ARCoachingOverlayView within your SwiftUI AR session. This guides users through finding surfaces or moving their device, establishing world tracking before placing 3D content.

To handle interactions with RealityKit entities in a SwiftUI AR scene, use gesture recognizers and collision components. This allows users to tap, rotate, or move 3D models loaded from USDZ files within your augmented reality view.

Use ARWorldTrackingConfiguration when you need to place 3D content stably in the real world and detect planes or images. Other configurations are for specific tasks like face tracking, which tracks the front camera rather than world geometry.
