Made With ARKit
posted June 21, 2017 #
If you aren't familiar, ARKit is a framework for Augmented Reality put forth by Apple that gets introduced with iOS 11. The ultra simple version explanation of it (as I understand it) is that cameras on your device detect the space and light in your environment and then place various virtual objects "in the room" with the intent of them feeling like they're real. That's AR in a nutshell but we're a ways off from having it be an everyday experience.
However, progress is being made and we're going to see these kinds of integrations explode in leaps and bounds over the next few years. Keep an eye on Made with ARKit in the short term to see examples of how this technology is being used. Currently it's mostly just planets in your kitchen or a pile of LaCroix cans falling from nowhere but there's plenty of possibilities headed our way. I, for one, am quite intrigued.
