AR Object Capture

Another feature that clearly requires some serious heavy lifting is a new Augmented Reality Object Capture that’s part of the RealityKit 2 developer framework. This is designed to let developers and users turn a series of two-dimensional images into a photo-realistic 3D object, ready to be rendered in AR in only a few minutes.

While this won’t affect the core macOS Monterey user experience, it’s something that could become more relevant as third-party developers start coding apps to use the new frameworks — and it definitely means that more developers should start investing in M1 Macs.
