# ARView.CameraMode.ar

A mode that uses the device’s camera to place virtual entities relative to the real world.

```
case ar
```

## Discussion

Use this mode to display virtual content in the real world using [`ARView`](/documentation/RealityKit/ARView)
This mode requires an iOS device with at least one front-facing camera, such
as an iPhone or iPad.
