Hi there.

That is the question, is there a way to recognise a pattern or an image? I say that to be able to show specific content when an specific pattern is recognized, like we used to do with Vuforia in Unity.

Cheers and thanks in advance!

There’s no built in marker detection —
Though you could look at hacking together a
solution using Apple’s " Vision Framework " to
detect shapes and so on.

You can extract individual AR Kit video
frames and use that as the input. There’s no
simply way right now ! Vuforia are going to make
an announcement soon re: AR Kit.

Thanks Chuan!

I´ll give it a look, but this should be implemented for a full AR experience, there is no other way to locate specific points in space apart from markers…
