A barcode’s position in a person’s surroundings.

## Declaration

```swift
struct BarcodeAnchor
```

## Overview

Overview A BarcodeAnchor describes a barcode that ARKit detects in a person’s surroundings. A barcode anchor has exactly one BarcodeSymbology that indicates which type of barcode the framework detects. It also includes properties, such as the barcode’s payload data,  which is a decoded string value of that data.
