AR TextPad

Typing in Augmented Reality demo.

A prototype showing how to display a textView in head-worn ARKit, and type to it with a keyboard.

(Found this old demo laying around, and thought it might be helpful for others to riff off.)

Written in XCode 10.0 for iOS 11.3 and above.

Running: Scenekit.

❗️ NOTE: A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is required.

❗️ NOTE: An AR see-through headset like the Merge VR is required.

Instructions

Type CMD+R to begin.
