ARKit: iOS update will complement our reality

On iOS, 11, which will be released soon, Apple will introduce ARKit - software environment of augmented reality. iOS-devices will be able to "feel" the world and its movement in it. This opens up exciting opportunities for mobile application development.

ARKit becoming the main tool for creating augmented reality applications (augmented reality - AR). Using the finished framework will facilitate the work of software developers. While ARKit still under development, but we can see some examples of use.

new worlds

Many see AR as a portal to other worlds. And developers are already showing examples of such travel. If you have not seen, look, looks like a "window" in the video for the hit Take On Me group A-ha.

Or "portal" in Ancient Egypt:

Virtual pets

You will be able to "scan" your pet and put it in augmented reality, so as not to miss in separation or create a new virtual friend.

Dogs are not allowed in the building, so I scanned Aeon and added her to the ARKit demo instead. pic.twitter.com/TVy7mVsIHJ

Cards

Rather than turn the phone with an open map, trying to navigate in space, you will be able to see all the information in front of you.

Changing reality

Practical Magic: augmented reality you can make objects disappear, copy, move. Or just go and paint whatever you do not like.

Repairs

Use AR to know the physical characteristics of real-world objects.

Or to try a new arrangement of furniture.

I have been playing around with #ARKit lately and I'm really impressed with it! I built a little tool for laying out rooms 🛋 pic.twitter.com/oughpP2Oxk

Job

Business events will be much more interesting. Show in augmented reality models, charts and presentations.

Bar charts are so boring!!! #ARKit@thevrara#ios#iosdev#wwdcpic.twitter.com/jpG4VLGZ8n

While the AR-app available for bulk loading. But some examples the use of augmented reality is already possible to try.
