ARKit Demo Application

ARKitNavigationDemo

• Work in progress.

In Progress

• Region — For one, we could render far fewer nodes. In fact, it’s a bit distracting that the entire trip is rendered. To fix this, we could render one leg of the journey at a time. Then we could use our location service to monitor for when we enter that region, or we could calculate the distance from the point of view to the last node in the leg triggering a mechanism to render a new leg and remove the old when they are in proximity.

• Dynamic Destination — Another easy way we could improve it is we could allow the user to set their destination while they are navigating, instead having to go back to the map.

• Reset — As the project is as of this writing, the reset functionality hasn’t been completed. Sometimes ARKit gets confused, sometimes the GPS gets confused (more on the location problems in a bit.) So we can build a mechanism which resets the screen so we can start over. That way you don’t have to quit to reset the trip.

ARKit Demo Application

When it loads to the map, tap a place on the map where you want to navigate to and press okay. The tap can be sluggish, so you might have to try once or twice before you get it. When the navigation screen loads, tap the screen, then give it a few seconds. You should see the nodes render.

arkitnavigationdemo's Issues

config.plist file is missing.

Bro didn't find config.plist file please help

It shows error while tapping on the screen.

Demo application sticks on a mkmapview

Hello
Upon launching the app I can see lots of information in the logs, but the app itself freezes on a mkmapview - you can click and drag around the map, but long pressing etc doesn't do anything.

Error: Required sensor failed!

Trying out the demo with iPhone x (IOS 11.2) and it starts and after choosing location and starting navigation I get error (Error: Required sensor failed!) and camera hangs.

Adding SCNNode to GPS Coordinates

Hi, I am developing an ARKit application that takes a GPS coordinate, gets directions to the coordinate using Apple Maps, and overlays a SceneKit Sphere onto the AR space at every RouteStep of the directions. So basically every turn in the directions, I want to place a blue sphere at the location of the turn that I can see through the camera. I have a post on Stack Overflow here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49620583/adding-scnnode-to-gps-coordinates but I have not been able to figure this out. I just want a series of blue spheres leading me to my destination when I look through the camera.
Can you take a look at my detailed question and maybe see where I'm going wrong? Thanks!

"Error getting directions"

When tapping a street on MKMapView, debug window shows:

Error getting directions

When outputting the error in Navigation.swift, I get the following:

Error Domain=MKLocationErrorDomain Code=5 "(null)"

Position Node in a specific GPS Coordinate ?

HI, I stumbled upon your tutorials.
Im looking for a straightforward solution to place 3D objects in specific gps coordinates. That's all.

So I can place a 3d sculptures in multiple locations that look like they standing on the floor and you can walk around them. Is there a specific piece of code I can use from your project?

Out of the box

Hey, this is awesome, was wondering if the demo works out-of-the-box or needs some love via the tutorials? I've changed the destination location to a location near me, but it hasn't conjured up dots and directions.
Thanks, will be absorbing the code, tutorials have been easy to follow
