WWDC21 introduced RealityKit 2 with Object Capture for easy 3D model creation, custom shaders, dynamic assets, and improved ARKit 5 features like expanded location anchors, face tracking, and motion tracking. These updates empower developers to build richer, more immersive AR experiences.
AR Quick Look enables easy 3D model viewing on apps and websites with features like placing, scaling, and people occlusion. It supports USDZ files and integrates Apple Pay or custom banners, enhancing online shopping and interactive AR experiences directly in Safari and native apps.
Apple’s WWDC 2020 introduced ARKit 4 with LiDAR-powered Depth API for realistic occlusion, Location Anchors for precise geo-based AR, and expanded face tracking on more devices. RealityKit gains video textures and improved occlusion, enhancing immersive AR experiences across Apple devices.
Apple’s Reality Converter is a free macOS beta app that lets you easily convert 3D models like .obj, .gltf, and .fbx into USDZ files. It offers drag-and-drop conversion, material editing, lighting previews, and metadata customization, making USDZ creation simple for AR projects.
AR Quick Look enables interactive AR with moving, scaling, and people occlusion using USDZ models. Prepare and resize models as needed, create nested USDZ files for multiple objects, and easily preview and integrate them into your app with Quick Look and ARKit.
