ARConfiguration.WorldAlignment.gravity
The coordinate system’s y-axis is parallel to gravity, and its origin is the initial position of the device.
Declaration
case gravityDiscussion
The y-axis matches the direction of gravity as detected by the device’s motion sensing hardware; that is, the vector (0,-1,0) points downward.
The position and orientation of the device as of when the session configuration is first run determine the rest of the coordinate system: For the z-axis, ARKit chooses a basis vector (0,0,-1) pointing in the direction the device camera faces and perpendicular to the gravity axis. ARKit chooses a x-axis based on the z- and y-axes using the right hand rule—that is, the basis vector (1,0,0) is orthogonal to the other two axes, and (for a viewer looking in the negative-z direction) points toward the right.
