Description
Finding true north is harder than it sounds. This library should offer a set of solutions to:
* Determine when conditions are good enough to begin an AR experience
* Automate calibration of the session origin location and true north
* Provide an API to automatically adjust the world root orientation based as origin and calibration are determined
* Provide an API to manually adjust the world root orientation
* Refresh the placement of anchors and the rendering of nodes as the session is calibrated
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first map the repository's ARKit session, origin, anchor, and world-root surfaces. Clarify the calibration conditions and API boundaries, then validate that orientation and anchor rendering update for both automatic and manual adjustments.
