# ARRaycastResult

Information about a real-world surface found by examining a point on the screen.

## Declaration

```swift
class ARRaycastResult
```

## Overview

Overview If you use ARView or ARSCNView as your renderer, you can search for real-world surfaces at a screen point using the raycast(from:allowing:alignment:), and raycastQuery(from:allowing:alignment:) functions, respectively. If you use a custom renderer, you can find real-world positions using screen points with: The raycastQuery(from:allowing:alignment:) function of ARFrame. The raycast(_:) function of ARSession. For tracked raycasting, you call trackedRaycast(_:updateHandler:) on your app’s current ARSession.
