Code With Jim

Being able to code AR contents and experience very quickly and easily from iPad has always been my dream. Swift Playground app is simply the perfect candidate since we don't have XCode yet on iPadOS but we have this powerful coding app where we can code with Swift and interactively generate 3D Augmented Reality. And that's just one area that can help me to dig deeper into coding programming and eventually making a useful app. AR really presents users with the perfect immersive environment to create an interactive virtual 3D scenes and a lot more that they can simply drop into real life. The limit is only your imaginations. When Swift Playground AR capability paired with other AR app such as Reality Composer to quickly compose 3D scene, attach interactions, audio and behaviour, suddenly you have a very powerful setup for AR. And all can be done via the iPad. We are in luck however; Apparently we can already procedurally generate AR contents and experience since Swift 5.1 ...

MY INTEREST in learning Apple Swift and developing iOS app grows sky high as I started to understand the true iOS device capability, especially when Apple announced ARKit for Augmented Reality content creation at WWDC 2017 just few weeks ago. This is actually really huge, for me, especially because as indie 3D Artist, I always have this urge to deliver 3D directly into real life environment. Ideally this AR experience can be presented in realtime by web service like Sketchfab 3D, or perhaps being authorized by Unity or Unreal Engine can be easily transferred and presented as a full 3D render using mobile device like iPhone and iPad, or other smart mobile devices. And apparently yes, with iOS 11, finally Apple says: let's deliver AR. Free / Paid Apple Developer and XCODE I am fairly new with the XCODE environment, but starting to be familiar with it and in fact quite enjoyable, especially with Swift language and introduction of Swift Playground , it seriously gives me an ext...
