There's a wave of innovation happening where the camera on the iPhone isn't really being used as a camera anymore. Instead, you can use it as a live text translator, a real-time 360-degree stitcher, or a visual point-and-search tool. You can have it track your face, scan a barcode, or automatically solve a Sudoku puzzle. When you're done being productive, you can use it a game controller in a game of AR tower defense on your kitchen table and you can fight off evil by scanning a hand-drawn pentagram.

In this talk, you'll get a rundown and fun demos of some of the most interesting camera applications thus far. Then we'll pull back the curtain and dive into what makes these applications tick, with code snippets directly from the developers when possible. This will include uses of OpenGL, CoreMotion, and AVFoundation. We'll also look at several third-party and open source frameworks available to accelerate development of computer vision and AR applications. You will take away an understanding of the inner-workings of some of the most sophisticated and magical iPhone applications yet.
