Apple’s conference is not just iPhone, as well as Apple Watch, 4K Apple TV and iOS 11 and other operating systems. According to The Information, ARKit in iOS 11 will have a great impact on the entire application system and even can produce subversive effects. On September 12th, when Apple released its 10th-anniversary album, the most impressive progress would not be to upgrade the hardware. But Apple to the application developers to provide application development platform ARKit, so that applications will be able to run on the phone, and make full use of Apple’s latest enhanced reality technology.
New Features
This platform allows a new form to appear, making it look like a computer-generated object and interacting with the real world. That may rekindle the user’s interest in downloading the app: ComScore’s recent report shows that 51% of users do not download new apps every month, up two percentage points from last year. Also, it can create opportunities for some new application developers to take place in this Facebook and Google-dominated industry. (According to comScore data, the seven most popular apps on the US smartphone are owned by Facebook or Google.)
New iOS 11
Among the upcoming release of Apple’s new iOS 11, including the ARKit Augmented Reality Platform, it may signal a new application that incorporates enhanced reality. That may bring new social and gaming experiences and may shake the application industry dominated by large enterprises.
“You have to rethink the overall concept of the application from scratch,” said Matt Miesnieks, chief executive of 6D.ai. 6D.ai is an entrepreneur specializing in AR computer vision. “I’m sure that in the next six months there are a few new things that will get good results.”
Enhance the reality of technology through the camera comes to virtual items. And the real world is superimposed on the phone screen. Now we can do it through Snapchat and other applications. However, because the phone’s processing power is limited, and the phone’s sensor can not be called. So far, this experience is not very good. As a result, developers and content creators do not focus on making applications that enhance reality.
Apple ARKit Use a cell phone sensor
Apple’s new software ARKit, that comes on iOS 11 in the new iPhone, is special to create a better AR experience. When developers use ARKit to develop applications, the software will automatically call multiple sensors on the phone, and developers themselves can never do this. As a result, virtual objects look more realistic and less prone to jitter and can be fixed in one place in the real world. If the ARKit demo products appear on the YouTube and Tech news sites can be used as a reference, the developers will flock.
Arkit based Solutions
IKEA has already demonstrated an ArKit-based application that overlays its furniture in real-life rooms, and the producers of the “zombie” TV show have launched a video game application where the zombies seem to exist In the world.
However, the use of ARKit development of the application is not just games and marketing gimmicks. Headquartered in London, Gravity Sketch has developed a technology to enhance the reality version of the design software. Co-founder Daniela Paredes Fuentes said that some of the major car manufacturers’ designers have already used Gravity Sketch early prototyping on their phones to enhance the reality software, which is part of their daily lives.
Apple ARKit 3D Models
Paredes Fuentes declined to disclose the name of her car company’s customers. She says designers use Gravity Sketch’s virtual reality software to create 3D models of car concepts. Then, the other designers will complete the design on their cell phone and then look at the car on the table or in the empty room. Designers do not use their index finger and thumb to pinch the phone on the screen to rotate the vehicle but can go around the car.
“It’s like having a real object in front of you,” she said.
Apple ARKit Increased Google Support
Google is also increasing support for developers. Although the company launched in 2014, a Tang software called Tango. The use of Android system, mobile phone manufacturers are not widely used. Google recently released a developer platform similar to ARKit, named ARCore. Microsoft is also a Windows reality player. That is an independent virtual reality and enhance the reality of the software operating system. Microsoft has the only advanced “hybrid reality” headset, HoloLens.
But this device is aimed at corporate customers who develop custom software to improve employee productivity. However, Apple may attract the most developers, because ARKit will be able to improve on three generations of iPhone. These are the upcoming iPhone 8, and 7 and 6s. That will ensure that the developer provides a huge and potentially profitable user community.
The biggest question is whether there is money in enhancing practical technology. In the early stages of the App Store app store, developers sold an original app for 99 cents. It is possible, interesting to enhance the reality of the experience comes with low-price products. Strengthen the reality of the game may also attract application to buy. And such as Gravity Sketch business applications can come in a subscription manner.
Apple ARKit Reality Experience
In the long run, Markit’s interesting part is that people will find the most practical and fun to enhance the reality experience may have not yet been invented. No one – even Apple – can not fully foresee what type of application can be developed.
2008 Apple launched App Store; the situation is the case. The most popular paid app is “Koi Pond,” which is an ornamental fish application. (There are a lot of requests like Koi Pond, although they are not the best-selling.) For example, few people can be expected to be born like Uber.
Apple ARKit New Experience
Developers, who communicate with The Information are thinking about the question. How can ARKit create new social and gaming experiences in the real world? For example, a person can wear an entity badge associated with a role-playing game. If the other person saw the button, they can put the phone on it. And then you can see the person wearing the badge into the game characters.
Developers said the installation of the street to enhance the reality of the “beacon,” may be in the outdoors. Or shopping center lead to AR experience. In New York, a visitor may receive a notice of a nearby lighthouse. Visitors can view the surrounding area through the iPhone, access to buildings and landmark information. This information can be used to show the region 100 years ago, of course, it can be the next 100 years.
If ARkit succeeds, the real world comes with a variety of beacons that are invisible or meaningless tags and identifiers. However, by supporting ARKit phones, people can experience infinite virtual content.
Developers use the ARkit to let the iPhone turn
If the reality of the truth becomes an everyday activity on the phone. It may have some side effects, such as creating real glasses to create demand. Many companies think this is the next computing platform. Enhance the reality of drinks can replace the phone, to directly complete the corresponding task.
However, the manufacture of a thin, stylish technology to improve the reality of glasses, it may take decades to achieve. Also, ARKit can also stimulate the needs of users, thus accelerating the development of this technology.
