Reality Composer | ARKIt Overview

This little overview looks at the ARKit Reality Composer by apple running on iPad Pro (2020) to look at how depth sensing makes a difference in AR creation and rapid prototyping. The finished project can be integrated into Xcode project on Mac and then submitted for iOS via App Store.
Apple documentation on Reality Composer can be found: developer.appl...

AR is the future, foldable phones is the past!!!

[@CHITUS]

cool

[@LORE-gs4te]

That tracking is way better then spark ar though

[@CatalystChannel]

ARKit, ARCore, Vuforia and numerous other programs tbh have better tracking than Spark. Only advantage spark has is its connected to social media apps without having to create or download customs apps

i'm trying using faces, but i cannot find the command for selecting the rear camera

[@CatalystChannel]

I will have a look, not used reality composer in ages so gonna havr to refamiliarise self first

Sound is only on the left ear.

[@marijkebeckeringh]

Do you need thew depth sensor? I have an ipad mini 1 and 4 but I don't think they have the sensor.

[@CatalystChannel]

You dont NEED a depth sensor, depth sensors in SOME AR apps help slightly with accuracy when enabled but not needed

I'm trying to add a force to a cube so it can fall off a shelf. But when I press play the cube falls down. Physics are turned on, when I turn that off it doesn't fall down anymore but it also doesn't react to tapping. Can you help?

[@CatalystChannel]

It would appear that the action of tapping on the cube essentially makes the object an instance i.e. collosions or force may be ignored. I will dig into this over the weekend

[@marijkebeckeringh]

@@CatalystChannel Did you find an answer?

[@nivioof]

My AR icon is missing in face

[@albertomatias8815]

Great Video! Is there a way i can add a button that takes you to a website ?
Thank you!

[@CatalystChannel]

Its largely for ARKit prototyping so weblinks / external links are not possible with this I am afraid

[@mahmoudabdulaziz8811]

Is there a similar tool using ARcore so I can use it for android ?

[@CatalystChannel]

Nothing quite as simple sadly ARCore is a bit more involved but if using game engines such as Unity as middle step can be easier otherwise explore WebAR which is the way AR is going

[@federicaaiello3078]

how i can add this in spark ar for an instagram filter?

[@CatalystChannel]

The two software packages dont communicate, Reality composer is more aimed at AR visualisation and making bespoke apps via Apple XCode apis.

[@christophershaju3737]

is there any alternative to arcore

[@CatalystChannel]

ARKit (iOS), ARCore (Android), Vuforia + Unity (Both but has cost), 8th wall (not used)
