# hitTest(_:types:) Searches for real-world objects or AR anchors in the captured camera image corresponding to a point in the SpriteKit view. ``` func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, types: ARHitTestResult.ResultType) -> [ARHitTestResult] ``` ## Parameters `point` A point in the 2D coordinate system of the view. `types` The types of hit-test result to search for. ## Return Value A list of results, sorted from nearest to farthest (in distance from the camera). ## Discussion Hit testing searches for real-world objects or surfaces detected through the AR session’s processing of the camera image. A 2D point in the view’s coordinate system can refer to any point along a 3D line that starts at the device camera and extends in a direction determined by the device orientation and camera projection. This method searches along that line, returning all objects that intersect it in order of distance from the camera. > Note: > This method searches for AR anchors and real-world objects detected by the AR session, not SpriteKit content displayed in the view. To search for SpriteKit objects, use the method of the view’s SpriteKit scene. The behavior of a hit test depends on which `types` you specify and the order you specify them in. For details, see [`ARHitTestResult`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult) and the various [`ARHitTestResult.ResultType`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType) options. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
