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

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.
