# ARObjectScanningConfiguration

A configuration that recognizes objects and collects high-fidelity data about specific objects using the rear-facing camera.

## Declaration

```swift
class ARObjectScanningConfiguration
```

## Overview

Overview To create an app that recognizes objects in the physical environment, first you scan them during development using ARObjectScanningConfiguration. After you’ve scanned an object, call createReferenceObject(transform:center:extent:completionHandler:) to turn it into an ARReferenceObject that you can use to detect it again at run-time. When users run your app, you ask ARKit to look for your scanned obects by running a world tracking configuration and assigning reference objects to its detectionObjects property. important: ARObjectScanningConfiguration is for use only in development scenarios. Because the high-fidelity spatial mapping required by object scanning has a high performance and energy cost, many ARKit features are disabled that aren’t required for object scanning.
