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

ARKit Camera Feed Zoom & Macro Support for Close-Range Objects

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.
