Abstract

This paper examines the, Apple introduced ARKit, a groundbreaking framework that brought Augmented Reality (AR) to iOS devices. ARKit enables developers to create immersive AR experiences by integrating digital content with the real world through the device's camera. Utilizing advanced technologies such as motion tracking, scene understanding, and light estimation, ARKit provides realistic interactions within AR applications. Developers can leverage Swift, Apple's powerful programming language, to create AR applications that render 3D objects, animations, and spatial awareness. This paper explores the impact of ARKit on mobile app development, its technical capabilities, and its applications in gaming, education, and retail, marking a pivotal moment in user engagement and interactive experiences.

Keywords
