Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

Regarding ARKit camera feed zoom and macro support for closer object

I am currently developing an AR experience using ARKit with SceneKit and am looking to implement functionality that enables:

  1. Zooming into the AR camera feed, ideally leveraging the ultra-wide or telephoto lenses available on supported devices.

  2. Macro-style focus capabilities, allowing users to view and interact with virtual content closely aligned with small or nearby real-world objects (within a few centimeters).

My objective is to ensure that ARKit continues to render the scene accurately while enabling a zoomed-in view or macro-level focus for better detail visibility and alignment.

Could you please advise on:

Whether ARKit currently supports camera zoom or allows access to macro or ultra-wide cameras within an ARSession.

Limitations or considerations when using multi-camera setups in conjunction with ARKit.

Any guidance or references to documentation or sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Ayush
