ARKit is Apple's framework that enables iOS devices to understand the space around them and place augmented reality content accurately within a space.

ARKit combines and understands sensor data, like camera input, motion sensors, and depth data, to track device movement and detect planes within your space. It can build a real-time map of your environment so digital objects stay anchored and don't drift within your space. Newer iOS devices also use LiDAR to improve speed, meshing, and accuracy of your AR content.

An iPhone can place a 3D object on a coffee table through an ARKit-powered app like Trace. This keeps it stable as the user walks around and observes it.

ARKit is the framework that allows billions of iOS devices to work with AR and provides creators with reliable tracking, rendering, and interactive tools.
