ARKit on stage

ARKit is an augmented reality engine from Apple, mostly for iPhones and iPads. iOS 11 is the first version of iOS with ARKit built in.

ARKit has plane detection.

ARKit can use the LiDAR sensors in the iPad Pro (2020) and the iPhone 12 Pro for faster initialization times.

Apple says ARKit requires an iOS device with an A9 or later processor.[1]

Certain versions of ARKit use the LIDAR sensor on the 2020 iPad Pro and Pro models of the iPhone starting with the iPhone 12 Pro to perform environment meshing. ARKit provides support for the scene reconstruction feature that became available in ARKit 3.5 and is enabled on the new iPad Pro with LiDAR scanner. ARKit scene reconstruction provides a meshing feature that generates a mesh based on scanned real-world geometry.[2]
