Overview/Description
iOS 12 comes with many new features and additional functionality. During this course you will explore these features, such as Augmented Reality (AR) with SpriteKit, SceneKit, and HealthKit. Learn how to configure and run a session that is able to track the real world. Next, set up a delegate to handle session events from an Augmented Reality SpriteKit View (ARSKView) instance. From there, you can create a new AR SpriteKit scene. Create a transform to add an ARAnchor to an Augmented Reality view. Attach a node to an ARAnchor. Set up an AR App template in Xcode 10 for iOS 12. Apply ARKit plane detection and hit detection. Finally, access, read, and write through a device’s Health Store.
