ARkit finally pushing AR to the masses. From a developer perspective, having an SDK that simplifies "environment detection/reasoning" is huge. Previously required pretty deep hardware requirements and now is turning into an AI/ML/software problem. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/building_a_b...
So I guess the responses on this thread begs another question - VR or AR? Which is going to take off much better?
AR, but with high enough quality to offer a superset of VR's features.
VR will be cool later, when Oculus and others get more perf and fix more current problems.
e.g. Desal plants.
Automatic language translation everywhere.
Big Brother everywhere. (Excited about, yes; happy about, no.)
Batteries + solar as the predominant energy source.
Electric cars getting some real market share.
ARKit. Apple has solved few real world AR problems, which were usually hard for an average app developer to get started with. But with ARKit, apple, is "trying" to do the heavy lifting in terms of plane and object recognition etc. Another thing is the platform of distribution. People will use AR apps, which will hit the app store after September like crazy. And these same people, will be primary audience for Apple he…

I really want a VR Hollywood film experience. One I can watch over and over and notice different details each time.
better search, always Find me: - an aggregation of everything I have to know to run a porcelain store in my country (taxes, suppliers, how to find staff or better yet: showing candidates directly, best location in my town, etc.) - Fuzzy stuff like: the pic of that tree I took when I was on hollidays in XY a few years ago; or the note I took a few days ago about that band with some greek name - a ready to paste, non-a…
I'm pretty confident I can find something on the web by only knowing a few keys words.
People in 100 years will look back to manually driven cars as we look back to horse-drawn carriages

> It has so much economic potential that it hurts not being in the space already (working on that though) As someone not familiar with the area, could you elaborate on some examples of what you think the economic potential is? To an outsider like me, being able to overlay virtual objects on a scene seems like a nice curiosity, not particularly an engine for commerce. Edit: specifically, I was curious about areas wher…
To me the benefit of AR is not just overlaying virtual objects on the physical world but specifically highlighting real objects in your field of view. Granted, this does just come down to placing a virtual object on the physical world. I can give a specific example that is perhaps of not so great financial advantage, but I think this kind of thing will be useful - using AR to give you directions to build IKEA furnitu…
