Getting Started with Augmented Reality Using RealityKit
summary
RealityKit walkthrough shows concrete steps: create a ModelEntity box or sphere, attach it to an Anchor inside ARView, and add tap-driven placement via raycasting (works only on a physical iPhone/iPad, not the simulator). Interaction needs generateCollisionShapes and a physics body (dynamic vs static) to make objects fall or stack. Real models load with loadAsync, gestures install with one call, and example code is on GitHub — demos mostly work but plane detection is finicky.
