ARKit Assignment 5

Detecting Objects

Please conduct the following tasks. For implementation details you can refer to the lecture slides or the Apple ARKit documentation website. Please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Under „Tip“ you can find some hints for the task. The „Checklist“ specifies what should happen when your implementation is correct.

Tasks

1. Scan any object and export it
2. Develop an app that detects the object

Scan any object and export it

Please conduct the following steps:

• Download Apple’s object scanning app here and run it on your device.
• Scan any object and try in the app if it can be detected correcly
• After successfully scanning the object, export it and store it to you Mac

Checklist	Check?
You have a reference object ready.	☑️

Develop an app that detects the object

Next develop an App that loads your reference object and detects it. Use the template “Augmented Reality App” to create a new app in Xcode. The conduct the following steps:

• Create an AR resource group in your apps Assets
• Add the reference object to your the resource group
• In the ViewController, load the reference object and configure your session correspondingly
• Show the user when the object was detected

Hint: For the scanning process it is important that you have a good lighting condition and that the object offers enough feature points. Glassy or shiny objects are hard to scan. Better use dull / matt objects with imprints and high contrast.

Checklist	Check?
You can use your app to detect objects.	☑️
