ARKit and Face-Recognition in iOS

iOS 11

Adds a lot of new posibilites for developers with new frameworks for Augmented Reality (ARKit), Object Detection (Vision) and Machine Learning (CoreML).

To demonstrate we created an augmented reality app with face-recognition:

How does it work:

1. The app continuously grabs the camera image
2. Detects faces on the image using Vision
3. Extracts the faces and runs through our machine-learning model
4. Identifies persons with the result
5. Calculates a three dimensional coordinate according to the location on the screen
6. Displays information in AR

We will write a more in-depth blog post, how we created the machine-learning model 😉

Meanwhile the project is available on GitHub:

Here is our follow-up blog-post about the model creation:
