iPhone already had this capability well before it introduced AR.

AR Is not needed to use virtual translation

Yeah I wasn’t sure it counted as AR or not.

Would be cool if it could be implemented with google maps or apple maps. Like, when driving in heavy mist, snow, or poorly maintained roads and visibility of lane markers is greatly reduced, the Maps app can overlay the lane markers to keep you in your lane. Or when driving on interstate highways at night, pitch black, it could outline the upcoming curvature of turns, sidewalls, and again, lane markers to make driving easier in older cars.

I could see AR having many uses for GPS based apps, and travel apps.

AR will be huge, generally because if it’s ubiquitous nature that it can be applied to almost any given situation. AR generally is not the main focus of an app, it’s a supplementary aspect which adds value that regular coded graphical environments can not. Once Apple release a AR glasses set then the technology wil become fullly apparent by then and there will already be a full SDK framework and developers in place.

The real advancement in AR is in the camera sensors. Once true depth it added to the rear of the iPhone then anything is possible without too much coding overhead.

We've been here before. ARKit demos from last year were incredibly impressive, and absolutely none of that translated to real-world products. Most of the apps released do not work well. I think the IKEA app is the only one of I've seen that isn't unusable with surface detection.

The real issue with mobile AR is holding your phone up in the air for long periods. Apple don’t do touch screen Macs due to gorilla arms yet the same applies here. AR on a mobile device can only ever be quick guidance interface or similar. I built an AR app for a camera with guide points to get the best shot. The AR lasts all of 15 seconds maximum, that’s best I can expect someone to hold out their phone at standing eye level.

Another update that is useless.
Too bad he does not start working on iOS 12 and it drops iOS 11 that has never been optimized for the iPhone of older generations but only for the iPhone X.

This is the best implementation of a waste-of-time technology I have seen. VR alllllllllllll the way.

What does AR have to do with barcodes? i've been using iPhones to scan barcodes on my food, and give full product details (brand, product name and FULL nutrition facts) for AGES!!
