Read through this blog and follow along to build a Home Decor AR app!

Explore the ARKit

While building the Home Decor app, you used the SCNCapsule to create the capsule/pill, then the SCNPlane to create the appearance of a flat floor along the horizontal plane. What other 3D figures are available in the ARKit?

Probably in another project, try to get a different figure to appear on your app - maybe a box or sphere? If you are completely stuck, you can follow along with one (or more) of the tutorials here.
