- 6. Why ARKit? You don’t need an image trigger or marker to activate an experience. You only need a horizontal plane to be detected. ARKit is able to estimate scale in relation to the real world using existing iPhone legacy hardware(i.e., a single camera), back to iPhone 6. ARKit apps will be available on over 100 million devices after iOS11 is released this fall. Easy integration w/ the App Store
- 7. Visual Inertial Odometry Using built-in inertial sensors and a single camera, it can sense and map what is in the real world. ARKit Under the Hood Scene Understanding Can detect horizontal planes like tables and floors, and can track and place objects on smaller feature points as well. Lighting Estimation Makes use of the camera sensor to estimate the total amount of light available in a scene and applies the correct amount of lighting to virtual objects (ambient lighting).
