to your facial expressions. (It also sounds like it’ll

make  a great Accessibility feature.)

Tracking for multiple faces

Apple’s TrueDepth sensors are already impressive

when they’re used with one face, but ARKit  3    allows

your iPhone or iPad to track up to three faces at once.

It’s a cool feature to have, even if it sounds as though

using it will require all three people to scrunch in

close. Maybe it will be good for some Memoji-based

singing sessions?

This feature will only work with devices with at least

an A12 chip and a TrueDepth sensor, and right now that

means the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR, and iPad Pro.

Smaller technical improvements

ARKit   3    also benefits from several less headline-grabby

features that nevertheless enhance the AR experience

RealityKit greatly simplifies the

task of incorporating camera

effects, animation, physics, and

audio into AR projects
