# hanleyweng/CoreML-in-ARKit

Simple project to detect objects and display 3D labels above them in AR. This serves as a basic Template for an ARKit project to use CoreML.

## What it is
A Swift demo/template iOS app that runs CoreML object detection (Inception V3) on live ARKit camera frames and renders 3D text labels above detected objects using SceneKit. It serves as a starting point for combining ARKit with CoreML in real time.

## Use cases
- detect objects in augmented reality and label them in 3d
- template for using coreml inside an arkit app
- run image classification on arkit camera frames in real time
- learn how to feed arframe pixel buffers into a vision model
- prototype ar object recognition on iphone

## When to choose
- building an iOS AR app that needs real-time on-device object recognition
- learning how ARKit, CoreML, and SceneKit fit together
- starting from a minimal Swift template for AR + ML

## When to avoid
- you need Android or cross-platform AR support
- you need production-grade detection with modern models or stable label placement
- you need frequent updates or support for recent iOS/Xcode versions
