I hope that ARKit can be a lesson in what works well and what doesn't, and spur the open source community to create something like it, but cross platform. As more phones get dual cameras, what we can do with software like this will only get better.
Look at OpenCV for example.
- MBCook 9y agoARKit doesn't seem to require dual cameras because it runs on iPads too. I do wonder if it uses the depth sensing second camera in the iPhone 7 Plus, or if that data isn't fast/precise enough to be useful.
- jclardy 9y agoApple added a new depth api that gives real time information from the dual cameras. I’d be surprised if ARKit doesn’t use it to enhance the experience on the 7 Plus. That said, it isn’t required. I have run the demo on my own iPad...the tracking is seriously impressive even with just the one camera.
- lawik 9y agoI believe they mentioned using the dual camera specifically during the keynote.
- madeofpalk 9y agoARKit does not require dual cameras. I'm running it now on a single camera iPhone.
- lawik 9y agoSo I hear, but parent wondered if they used the depth data so I figured I'd mention it. Not saying it doesn't work with a single camera :)
- trojectory 9y agoWhere do y'all have access to the ARKit demo?
