Who This Book Is For
Developers looking to get started with ARKit as quickly as possible. The book is especially aimed at those looking to get an app to market quickly in order to showcase their AR skills or to target a fast-emerging opportunity.

Dell Wolfensparger is a professional iOS developer who has been involved in AR, VR, and mixed reality projects for over a decade. He was the creative and technical director of Forry Ackerman's Virtual Museum of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, which was one of the first and largest virtual museums on the Apple Macintosh platform. Dell is highly valued for his ability to quickly spot and adapt his development skills to the latest technology in the AR or VR space. He shipped an enterprise application authored in Unity for a Virtual Reality client 30 days after the Oculus Rift developer kit was launched, and he has been on trend ever since. Dell has led workshops and spoken at conferences and other events on virtual and augmented reality development methods, both in the United States and Australia. After leading development teams and working on iOS apps for Disney, Thomas Train, and many others, Dell became an early access developer of shipping apps for the Microsoft HoloLens. Now focused on ARKit development, he is seeking to share his knowledge with both experienced and new developers.
