I 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.

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.
