## What it is
A collection of Swift code examples demonstrating iOS Depth APIs, including real-time depth visualization, depth masks, Portrait Effect Matte, and ARKit depth. It is a sample app built with Xcode that runs on devices with dual or TrueDepth cameras.

## Use cases
- learn how to visualize camera depth in real time on iOS
- implement background removal using Portrait Effect Matte
- render depth data from portrait-mode photos in the camera roll
- explore ARKit face-tracking depth visualization
- blend a background image with a depth-based mask
- render a 2D image in 3D space using depth

## When to choose
- you are an iOS developer learning to work with depth data from AV Foundation, TrueDepth, or ARKit
- you need working Swift sample code for portrait matte or depth masking features
- you want a reference for Metal-based depth visualization on iPhone

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or SDK rather than demo code
- you want to run on the iOS Simulator or on devices without dual/TrueDepth cameras
- your project targets platforms other than iOS
