Validating a Model for Motion Capture Recording and Replaying AR Session Data

## Overview

Overview Augmented reality (AR) describes user experiences that add 2D or 3D elements to the live view from a device’s sensors in a way that makes those elements appear to inhabit the real world. ARKit combines device motion tracking, world tracking, scene understanding, and display conveniences to simplify building an AR experience.
