TRACKING ▸ World Tracking ▸ Visual Inertial Odometry CORE MOTION
AVFOUNDATION
ARKIT ▸ Tracking ▸ Scene Understanding ▸ Light Estimation
SCENE UNDERSTANDING ▸ Plane detection ▸ Hit testing
ARKIT ▸ Tracking ▸ Scene Understanding ▸ Light Estimation
LIGHT ESTIMATION ▸ Estimate scene lighting information ▸ Render graphics
that looks more realistic Video by Mark Dawson on Youtube

BEST PRACTICES AND TIPS
USER GUIDANCE ▸ Guide the user ▸ Show feature points
▸ Display detected plane IKEA Place Portal
TRACKING ▸ ARWorldTrackingConfiguration ▸ ARAnchors fix position in real world
⚓ ▸ Don’t use feature points to place content ▸ ARAnchors adjust for drift
TRACKING QUALITY ▸ Ambient light ▸ Static environments ▸ Surface
texture ▸ Sensor data quality
TRACKING QUALITY
TRACKING FEEDBACK
CAPTURING THE ARWORLDMAP ▸ Dense feature points ▸ Multiple points
of view ▸ No motion - static environment ▸ Use WorldMappingStatus ▸ Don’t display UI until ready
MAPPING QUALITY
TESTING IN THE REAL WORLD ▸ Low lighting ▸ Smooth
surfaces ▸ Moving device fast while mapping ▸ Motion in environment
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS ▸ Initialization takes some time ▸ Battery drain
▸ Limit the number of anchors ⚓ ▸ Delegate callbacks on background threads ▸ Mapping from a distance doesn’t work ▸ Occlusion - no depth sensing
