Introduction
In this part of the course, you’ll build an app similar to one made by everyone’s favorite Swedish semi-disposable furniture store.
Two Worlds
A look at the “two worlds” theory of the real and virtual world, as well as the important concept of AR anchors.
Basic Plane Detection
In this episode, you’ll configure the app to detect horizontal and vertical planar surfaces in the real world, and get it to tell you where they are.
建立configuration
func createARConfiguration() -> ARConfiguration {
let config = ARWorldTrackingConfiguration() // Use "6 degrees of freedom" tracking
config.worldAlignment = .gravity
config.planeDetection = [.horizontal, .vertical]
config.isLightEstimationEnabled = true
return config
}
取回平面的anchor資料
func renderer(_ renderer: SCNSceneRenderer, didAdd node: SCNNode, for anchor: ARAnchor) {
// We only want to deal with plane anchors, which encapsulate
// the position, orientation, and size, of a detected surface.
guard let planeAnchor = anchor as? ARPlaneAnchor else { return }
// Draw the appropriate plane over the detected surface.
drawPlaneNode(on: node, for: planeAnchor)
}Plane Detection Theory
It often helps to understand the theory behind how something works. Let’s take a look at how ARKit detects horizontal planes (relatively easy) and vertical ones (a little trickier).
Drawing AR Planes Over Detected Surfaces
Now that we now how to detect real-world planes, let’s draw AR planes over them. We’ll draw a grid that says “place furniture here” over detected horizontal surfaces, and a poster of Ray over detected vertical surfaces.
func drawPlaneNode(on node: SCNNode, for planeAnchor: ARPlaneAnchor) {
// Create a plane node with the same position and size
// as the detected plane.
let planeNode = SCNNode(geometry: SCNPlane(
width: CGFloat(planeAnchor.extent.x),
height: CGFloat(planeAnchor.extent.z)))
planeNode.position = SCNVector3(planeAnchor.center.x,
planeAnchor.center.y,
planeAnchor.center.z)
planeNode.geometry?.firstMaterial?.isDoubleSided = true
// Align the plane with the anchor.
planeNode.eulerAngles = SCNVector3(-Double.pi / 2, 0, 0)
// Give the plane node the appropriate surface.
if planeAnchor.alignment == .horizontal {
planeNode.geometry?.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = UIImage(named: "grid")
planeNode.name = "horizontal"
} else {
planeNode.geometry?.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = UIImage(named: "ray")
planeNode.name = "vertical"
}
// Add the plane node to the scene.
node.addChildNode(planeNode)
appState = .readyToFurnish
}Back to the Two Worlds
We return to the “two worlds” theory to talk about the fact that as an AR session goes on, ARKit learns more about the real world, and updates its virtual world to match.
Changes to a Previously Detected Surface
Now that you know that ARKit revises its internal map of the world as it learns more about it, you’ll take advantage of that learning to revise the planes you draw in AR space.
// This delegate method gets called whenever the node for
// an *existing* AR anchor is updated.
func renderer(_ renderer: SCNSceneRenderer, didUpdate node: SCNNode, for anchor: ARAnchor) {
// Once again, we only want to deal with plane anchors.
guard let planeAnchor = anchor as? ARPlaneAnchor else { return }
// Remove any children this node may have.
node.enumerateChildNodes { (childNode, _) in
childNode.removeFromParentNode()
}
// Update the plane over this surface.
drawPlaneNode(on: node, for: planeAnchor)
} // This delegate method gets called whenever the node corresponding to
// an existing AR anchor is removed.
func renderer(_ renderer: SCNSceneRenderer, didRemove node: SCNNode, for anchor: ARAnchor) {
// We only want to deal with plane anchors.
guard anchor is ARPlaneAnchor else { return }
// Remove any children this node may have.
node.enumerateChildNodes { (childNode, _) in
childNode.removeFromParentNode()
}
}Hit Tests
In Raykea, the user taps on the “place furniture here” grid on the screen, and that tap specifies where the furniture goes. But how do we translate those taps into a 3-dimensional location for the virtual furniture? With hit tests.
Looking at a Detected Surface
Let’s use hit tests to see if a detected horizontal surface is onscreen at the moment.
// We can’t check *every* point in the view to see if it contains one of
// the detected planes. Instead, we assume that the planes that will be detected
// will intersect with at least one point on a 5*5 grid spanning the entire view.
func isAnyPlaneInView() -> Bool {
let screenDivisions = 5 - 1
let viewWidth = view.bounds.size.width
let viewHeight = view.bounds.size.height
for y in 0...screenDivisions {
let yCoord = CGFloat(y) / CGFloat(screenDivisions) * viewHeight
for x in 0...screenDivisions {
let xCoord = CGFloat(x) / CGFloat(screenDivisions) * viewWidth
let point = CGPoint(x: xCoord, y: yCoord)
// Perform hit test for planes.
let hitTest = sceneView.hitTest(point,
types: .estimatedHorizontalPlane)
if !hitTest.isEmpty {
return true
}
}
}
return false
}Finishing Raykea
Putting it all together, you'll take everything we’ve covered and finish building the app.
@objc func handleScreenTap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
// Find out where the user tapped on the screen.
let tappedSceneView = sender.view as! ARSCNView
let tapLocation = sender.location(in: tappedSceneView)
// Find all the detected planes that would intersect with
// a line extending from where the user tapped the screen.
let planeIntersections = tappedSceneView.hitTest(
tapLocation,
types: [.estimatedHorizontalPlane])
// If the closest of those planes is horizontal,
// put the current furniture item on it.
if !planeIntersections.isEmpty {
addFurniture(hitTestResult: planeIntersections.first!)
}
} func addFurniture(hitTestResult: ARHitTestResult) {
// Get the real-world position corresponding to
// where the user tapped on the screen.
let transform = hitTestResult.worldTransform
let positionColumn = transform.columns.3
let initialPosition = SCNVector3(positionColumn.x,
positionColumn.y,
positionColumn.z)
// Get the current furniture item, correct its position if necessary,
// and add it to the scene.
let node = furnitureSettings.currentFurniturePiece()
node.position = initialPosition + furnitureSettings.currentFurnitureOffset()
sceneView.scene.rootNode.addChildNode(node)
}Conclusion
Congratulations — you’ve written a scaled-down version of one of the most popular AR apps! Let's review where you are and see what comes next.
