Scene Reconstruction with ARGeoTrackingConfiguration

Viewed 80

Is there a way to add Scene Reconstruction using ARGeoTrackingConfiguration in Xcode?

It appears it is only available for ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.

At the moment it's impossible and it's easy to explain why. Scene Reconstruction feature is a computationally-intensive task (due to processing of LiDAR data, number of stored polygons, tracked anchors and classifications). And I am not counting the fact that you need simultaneous plane detection, raycasting, rendering of PBR shaders, shadows and physics at 60 fps.

But Geo Tracking is a highly expensive task too. Your gadget must process URLSession data, ML data, IMU data and GPS data in real time. I suppose we need a considerably powerful iOS device with a capacious battery for running Scene Reconstruction during Geo Tracking.
