Apple ARKit Augmented Reality: Features and Examples
Many people believe that behind augmented reality is the future. If virtual reality immerses you into the digital world, then the augmented “merges” into the real world, makes the routine more interesting, which will allow you to turn advertising banners on houses, vehicles and other people in the future, so you won’t be able to distinguish a real billboard at all from the illusory.
The technology giants obviously understand this trend. Google has developed the Project Tango tool for its Android mobile operating system, with the help of which elements of augmented reality can be viewed on the smartphone screen. Apple is not far behind: at the WWDC conference this year, the company introduced a tool for iOS with the speaker name ARKit. The developers started experimenting enthusiastically. There were applications for parking the race cars to the parking lot, dancing robots in the kitchen and landing the first stage of the Falcon 9 in the pool, and in the fall the technology will be supported by the game Pokemon Go . Let's discuss a few potential directions for using augmented reality, including entertainment (PornHub?), Training and medical goals, and look at the most interesting works.
Surgeons train their skills with the help of simulator operations in order not to send patients to the expense. In Weill Cornell New York Medical College there is a special room equipped with a virtual reality system. For the same purposes, augmented reality can be used: students can stand at the bust and view what is inside its skull, as in a jungle video in the garage . Given that it does not need special equipment, some students will be able to train very often.

So far, there are no such simulators among the developed examples. But there are samples that allow to show the solar system. I missed this application when I explained to my daughter why the day gives way to night, with the help of a yellow ball and a small ball pressed to the light source.
Augmented reality allows you to place any masterpieces anywhere. Of course, we know how to use search engines there, and seeing flat images is not a problem for us. Sculptures would be more interesting, as augmented reality will help you see them from all sides. The game form of this action will allow to educate as many people as possible. Are the technologies created to make us better?
If you go back to the mention of medicine, back in 2014, Google Glass began to be used to help people with Parkinson's disease . Glasses of augmented reality are reminiscent of taking medications, if necessary, “wake up” the patient, display visual cues. An on-screen robot could be a virtual assistant for children or for adults.
At the junction of entertainment and education are the works of Thomas Garcia. First he presented a project on landing the lunar module on the moon. Later, in the backyard of his house, he planted the Falcon 9 step on an offshore platform in the pool.
Watch the video with sound.
“Suffering from loneliness? Tired of working independently? Do you hate making decisions?
Gather a meeting! ”- popular wisdom. Colleagues can now be shown volume diagrams hanging right in the air in the meeting room, turning a boring meeting into a high-tech meeting from the future.
Remember how 10-12 years ago it was possible to kill mosquitoes in augmented reality on the screen of the Nokia 3650? Now we have the same thing, but on the iPhone, and with 8-bit aliens in the style of Space Invaders from the distant 1970s .
What about playing Dead House in your own apartment - isn't it a wonderful idea?
Tanks or cruisers on the floor of the apartment will look very interesting.
After watching the next video, the idea of a special project for any brand of car, engine oil or tires came to mind: a race on the nearest road, where the user is required to show maximum skill in augmented reality and upload the video.
There will be porn in augmented reality too. And sales of hugging pillows will still be shocked if everything goes right.
Virtual reality in porn is already used, and in augmented reality it will be. Producers of such content will open up tremendous opportunities, given the realism. The hugging market will be shocked if everything goes right. Or not - Apple's policy on erotic content is quite strict.
Further on the video - two people playing basketball: I reviewed three times until I realized that they both do not exist in reality. Then - the heroine Overwatch .
Google has been working with augmented reality for many years. We had Google Glass glasses, which are still used for research purposes, and there is Project Tango, which supports only a few devices. Tango needs additional sensors and compatible processors, which is difficult to provide in the Android market, which is rich in manufacturers. On the other hand, Apple's technology will work with all devices on iOS 11 and A9 and A10 processors, that is, with iPhone 6S and above and 7th-generation iPad.
The number of devices compared to Tango is huge: by the end of 2016, 34% of all phones activated in the US were made by Apple.
