Detect a real world object using ARKit and SceneKit

Question

I am new with ARKit and SceneKit frameworks and I want to know if it's possible to detect real world object like a door a wall or something.

For example is it possible to detect an object's collision with a door or any other real world objects?

ARKit can detect planes, but right now only horizontal ones, see this answer here. Other detections are not part of ARKit.

Thanks for your answer. Is it possible to do that with SceneKit ? Or we can only detect collision between two virtual objects in the scenekit ? – Sam Jul 05 '17 at 10:53
SceneKit is a game engine and only works with virtual objects. `ARKit` is essentially a bridge between the real world and the virtual objects used in SceneKit. But there are a number of different AR frameworks out there ([Vuforia](https://www.vuforia.com) beeing the biggest one I know) that offer a lot of additional features over `ARKit` – jlsiewert Jul 05 '17 at 10:56
