# ARPointCloud

A collection of points in the world coordinate space of the AR session.

```
class ARPointCloud
```

## Overview

Use the [`ARFrame`](/documentation/ARKit/ARFrame) [`rawFeaturePoints`](/documentation/ARKit/ARFrame/rawFeaturePoints) property to obtain a point cloud representing intermediate results of the scene analysis ARKit uses to perform world tracking.
