In this tutorial, we dive into the fascinating world of Augmented Reality (AR) by creating an app that brings your memories to life right on your walls! Using Apple's powerful RealityKit and ARKit libraries, I'll guide you step-by-step on how to develop an AR application that allows you to place pictures from your camera roll onto any wall in your home, office, or anywhere you like.
