<p>Apple’s augmented reality-focused ARKit 3 is introducing two big additions this time around, both of which deal with how well ARKit-powered apps can track human movement.</p>
<p>The first, people occlusion, allows people to walk through a space and have AR-based objects remain stationary in front of or behind them as they do so. The other, motion capture, detects a person’s movements in real time and allows those to be used as input into an AR app or game.</p>
<p>Alongside that, Apple also announced the new, high-level framework RealityKit intended to let devs use photo-realistic rendering, camera effects, animations, physics and more in their AR creations as well as a program called Reality Composer to quickly prototype and create AR experiences. Apple’s developer portal has more info on <a href="https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/reality-composer/">those two additions,</a> as well as other <a href="https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/arkit/">features found in ARKit 3</a>.</p>
