AR App Development for iOS with ARKit

— FAQ

Frequently asked questions

• Do we need a separate Android version?+

  For full coverage yes — we pair ARKit with ARCore so the AR feature works natively on both iOS and Android, usually inside the same Flutter codebase.

• What can ARKit actually do?+

  Place virtual objects in real space, measure real-world distances, track faces and motion, and understand surfaces and lighting — all without extra hardware, using just the iPhone or iPad camera.

• Can AR be added to an existing app?+

  Yes. We add ARKit as a feature inside an app you already have, rather than requiring a separate build.

• Do you build AR in Unity or natively?+

  Natively, with ARKit inside a Swift or Flutter app. For try-on, placement and measurement that keeps the app lighter and closer to iOS. A game engine such as Unity makes more sense for game-like experiences, and if yours is one, we will tell you before we start.

• Does AR need an app, or can it run from our website?+

  For a simple product preview, an iPhone can open a 3D model in AR straight from Safari with AR Quick Look, no app needed. Measurement, face tracking and anything interactive need an app. On the website itself, the same 3D models can drive a 3D product configurator.

• Can you use the LiDAR scanner on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro?+

  Yes. On devices with LiDAR, ARKit reads depth directly, so objects are placed faster and measurements come out more accurate. On other iPhones the same feature falls back to camera-based tracking, so nobody is locked out.
