nah I think its something for normal photos, not immersive content.
> Camera: Updated video and image compression, improved Portrait Mode with support for low light, plus a new Depth API for developers.

- photojosh 9y agoI had a look at the documentation at [1], which says "The AVCaptureDepthDataOutput class captures and delivers depth data in a stream (similar to how the AVCaptureVideoDataOutput delivers video data)." So you can now access a stream of depth data. I'd put money on ARToolkit using this stream when it's available. For now, it would only be from the iPhone 7+.

- Stanleyc23 9y agoah great find.
- MBCook 9y agoAR kit isn't limited to the 7+ ( they demoed it on an iPad) space so clearly that's not REQUIRED. I wonder if they're using the second camera for depth on the 7+ when it's available. Perhaps that data isn't granular enough (or fast enough) to be useful when doing AR compared to the normal camera picture plus the motion sensor data.
