Will Arkit revolutionize iOS app development?
Yes, ARKit will undoubtedly change how developers approach iOS development. Developers will be able to make apps highly interactive by integrating AR features. And those who haven’t will be keen to implement the revolutionary technology when developing apps. ARKit will also remove the hassle associated with software and app development. This will enable developers to focus on ways they can implement new features & functionalities that will deliver meaningful and engaging user experiences. Users will also want to try out new apps with AR features. So we’re going to see more downloads in app markets and store as new apps get rolled out.
Application of Arkit in various industries
Augmented reality apps will enable modern enterprises to build better connections with existing customers and attract new ones. Customers who use the AR apps will enjoy interactive experiences with brands and businesses as they will be able to visualize products in the real world. All that a business requires is to create product design and prototypes then project them into view using AR mobile apps.
The health industry has benefited immensely from development of AR apps. Physicians are now able to locate veins and even view symptoms through the eyes of patients. AR essentially makes diagnosis much easier than before. In education, AR apps will make learning fun and interactive for kids. Teachers will depend less on the use of blackboards, chalks, and papers to teach. AR apps for education will impart students with knowledge as subjects will juxtapose concepts with the real world.
Gaming will probably be the biggest beneficiary of ARKit. Game developers can now offer immersive entertainment experiences to players. The best examples of AR in gaming is the sensational Pokemon Go game which has been downloaded millions of times on Apple Store. Players are supposed to catch and add each of them to their collection. The immersive game juxtaposes characters in the real world.
The multi-billion automotive industry also stands to benefit by embracing ARKit development. Car makers can use AR to create digital showrooms and showcase features of different models. So there’s a lot more in store for automakers than just advertising.
ARKit also offers new opportunities for Realtors. Using the AR technology, real estate professionals can now create 3D perspectives of properties. Realtors can showcase apartments and buildings for sale or lease, much better than on paper. The first-person-views will enrich the experiences of clients who are looking for property to buy.
