🏃‍♀️ Getting started

• Open SwiftARlps.xcodeproj.
• Select a development team in the project settings.
• Build and run on your device.

Point your camera at a surface, wait until it detects a surface and then press one of the buttons to place an object.

Process

• 👩‍👦 Pair up with another attendee.
• 🍴 Fork the repository, and optionally create a branch.
• 💡 Think of a feature to add, you can come up with something yourself or choose from the Issues.
• 🎯 Commit and push your work, and create a Pull Request.

🦉 Tips

• Start by looking at the FileDescriptions.md file for a description of what files have which responsibility.
• Choose a simple feature to add, you can add more complexity later.
• Don't worry about the UI too much, just try make something work.
• The units of ARKit is in meters, so be sure you don't place something 200 away
• There are a bunch of icons to choose from in Icons.xcassets.
• If you want to show a message to the user, you can use the StatusViewController with a showMessage(_: String, autoHide: Bool) method.
• Don't be afraid to remove some code if it blocks your current idea.
• When adding kind of new objects, start by copy-pasting an existing subclass of SCNNode (like Cube)
• When doing something with VirtualObjects see if you can add it as an extension to SCNNode
