Add Live Text interaction to your app

8:00 a.m.

Learn how you can bring Live Text support for still photos or paused video frames to your app. We’ll share how you can easily enable text interactions, translation, data detection, and QR code scanning within any image view on iOS, iPadOS, or macOS. We’ll also go over how to control interaction types, manage the supplementary interface, and resolve potential gesture conflicts. To learn more about capturing and interacting with detected data in live camera feeds, watch “Capture machine-readable codes and text with VisionKit” from WWDC22.

Get to know Create ML Components

8:00 a.m.

Create ML makes it easy to build custom machine learning models for image classification, object detection, sound classification, hand pose classification, action classification, tabular data regression, and more. And with the Create ML Components framework, you can further customize underlying tasks and improve your model. We’ll explore the feature extractors, transformers, and estimators that make up these tasks, and show you how you can combine them with other components and pre-processing steps to build custom tasks for concepts like image regression. For more information on creating complex customizable tasks, we recommend watching “Compose advanced models with Create ML Components” from WWDC22.

Q&A: Maps technologies

Wednesday @ 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.

Ask Apple engineers about Maps technologies during this 2 hour text-based Q&A. Bring your questions about MapKit, MapKit JS, Maps Server API, and Indoor Maps. We’re excited to help you integrate the all-new map into your app, discuss how to visualize your data by using annotations and overlays, and answer your questions about how to build multi-platform solutions that leverage our latest set of APIs. Stop in to request guidance on a code-level question, ask for clarifications, or learn from others in a group setting.

Q&A: Health and fitness technologies

Wednesday @ 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Meet the Health and Fitness teams and learn more about HealthKit, ResearchKit, CareKit, SensorKit, Health Records, Apple Watch, and health and fitness topics during this 2 hour text-based Q&A. We would love to answer questions, brainstorm ideas, and meet people who are building health, fitness, or research apps on our platform. Stop in to request guidance on a code-level question, ask for clarifications, or learn from others in a group setting.

Boost performance with MetalFX Upscaling

8:00 a.m.

Discover MetalFX, a new API that provides platform optimized graphics effects for Metal applications. With MetalFX Upscaling, your application can now render frames at a lower resolution, reducing rendering time, without compromising rendering quality. We’ll also show you how and when to use its two effects: spatial upscaling, which delivers substantial performance gains, and temporal AA and upscaling, which delivers the highest quality rendering.
