This post is a list of links you'll find on the natural Google searches. That's fine as a gateway drug, but you'll get more mileage out of frequenting one of the AR/VR subreddits or chats.

For things in the early stages, plugging yourself into the community is more valuable than consuming the right news or tutorials.

Would people be interested in a subreddit where we can talk about ARKit stuff? It would be great to share projects and ideas of other developers building stuff with ARKit!
