What it does
Create ARKit apps that react to their environment. Drag and drop 3D assets & CoreML models to build reactions to what the phone senses A "reaction" is a building block of functionality that notices something happening via an input object, and triggers something happening in 3D.

A "reaction" is a building block of functionality that notices something happening via the camera, and triggers something happening in 3D. AR apps in Asteroid are made by layering these reactions. Reactions can add an informational layer on-top of the physical world. They can be used to annontate books, display maps and navigation, or organize files and notes.
