with the new arkit for ios11 is it capable of to detect your body and can you make app to try on clothes ?

Probably the short answer with iPhone 7 Plus and current ARKit is NO.


Current ARKit however is really great at:

- Finding feature points detection on the fly for static object. Probably all relative, not about accuracy

- Generating FLOOR horizontally from observed real life image, on the fly, for more or less accurate placement of object

- To track some kind of point in 3D space of real life, however all relative and dependant on calculated point cloud of the environment

- Placing 3D contents and layering it with real life stream video from your device camera


However, with future iPhone and Glass, maybe with some kind of Laser precision and updated ARKit: Maybe will be a lot easier.

okay but i want to know how could i use arkit to show a tshirt as object to the camera?

Is it possible to measure a particular floor surface by showing a rectangle, allowing users to resize it and detect if it has an obstacle in that given rect using ARKit?

ARKit can work with SpriteKit and / or SceneKit. You can show the tshirt as a simple image or a 3D model.

Yes, all are posible (except auto detecting obstacles - you must do manually), based on you can add 3D objects to the world and measure those objects for lengths and sizes. It is a bit tricky and accurate problem. You may start with my simple open source:

I saw a post stating they have achieved this with ARKit(https://twitter.com/obsessVR/status/899746474120146945). Is it true that we can create an app that will overlay colthes over body using ARKit?
