Craig demos an app that adds virtual objects to his physical table. Coffee Cup, lamp, and when he moves the cup in relation to the lamp, the shadows move properly. There's fast, stable motion tracking, and ARKit finds planes like floors, tables, and estimates ambient light to take care of shadows. It's all possible because of the awesome hardware in iOS devices.
