Brainstorming

Leave some cool ideas that people suggested:

• Pick Multiple object, drag and drop them.
• Upload photos from the Gallery
• Upload a bunch of new virtual objects
• Research about detecting Y planes (hack)

Placing objects on a wall?

@ericviston That would be an awesome feature!, nevertheless, ARKit doesn't support vertical planes detection, maybe there is a hack to do that (I have to research). There is a rumor that it would be added to the new iPhone. if so, for sure it would be added.

Easier adding models by using json?

[ignacio-chiazzo]

@NordyVlasman Could you elaborate more on this?

it's better if we don't have to handle each object by separate file. Did you take a look at demo project of apple at WWDC2017 https://developer.apple.com/sample-code/wwdc/2017/PlacingObjects.zip they did a nice hack on that.

update: apple updated the demo project with more comments, and refactored a lot of codes (including adding models automaticaly, just add .scn to Models.scnassets folder)
new project: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/handling_3d_interaction_and_ui_controls_in_augmented_reality

How would one go about implementing reselection of objects?

Place multiple objects then pick up any of them again - currently doesn't appear work this way

[ignacio-chiazzo]

@ericviston ohhh I see what you mean. Yeah, in this case, the object can be more general.

@nah2015 Yess! absolutely we should be able to pick up many objects without deleting them.

Feel free to contribute if you want/are up to. :)

Another idea - allowing users to import .dae or .obj file from the new Apple Files app. They put their files on their phone, then can import into ARKit app from Files app.

Just an idea - I have no idea how to do lol

ARKit now supports vertical planes ;)
