Augmented Reality (AR) Development Quick Look & Features
At WWDC 2018, Apple released ARKit 2.0 with fresh APIs, functionalities and features for Augmented Reality (AR) development. One of these key features was an accumulation to their quick look APIs.
Quick look overall is a framework that enables users to get a preview of a complete range of file formats such as PDFs, images, and much more. For an instance, the mail application in iOS utilizes quick look to preview the needed attachments.

In Object Mode, the device you are utilizing does not require to be AR proficient if it is operating the iOS 12 or the safari version on the macOS. It is in fact a studio viewer where the object is rendered on a flat white background and is all set to be interrelated with. You can pan around your object viewing it at diverse angles, you can zoom in to display finer details, and get access to see animations if your model supports the same.

The AR Viewer smartly collects lighting information from the real world and renders the object to go with the environment it’s in. A grounding shadow is functional to your object to make it feel as though the object is in fact sitting right on the surface in the direct front side of the given viewer.
