# name

A descriptive name for the reference object.

## Declaration

```swift
var name: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For a reference object loaded from an Xcode asset catalog, this property is the name assigned in the asset catalog. You can also use this property to assign a name to an object you’ve recorded in an AR session using extractReferenceObject. note: This string is not localized text intended for user display. However, in debugging you can use this property to indicate which reference object was detected.
