WWDC 2018 isn't the exception. In particular, augmented reality and machine learning that sounded like a fantasy not long ago, are increasingly entering our lives. Hence, Apple has updated their ARKit for building AR apps and Core ML for building Core ML models. iOS apps on MacOS are going to be available in 2019 since Apple is developing a iOS-Mac porting solution. Siri shortcuts will anticipate your following activity to suggest the app that will fulfill your request. There also many more upgrades for each Apple's OS.
It's okay if you've missed the WWDC 2018 live stream. In another case, you may want to sort out the messy information quickly presented on it. Then you're in the right place. So let's start.
IOS 12
Apple has paid a decent amount of attention to AR compared to the other iOS 12 features . It's not a coincidence since the company is betting big on the AR, foreseeing that it can change the modern technologies dramatically.
When Apple released the ARKit SDK in September 2017 they provided tools for AR software development to everyone. Now they announce the ARKit 2.0 for iOS 12 containing several major improvements:
Cooperative AR experience
It's a hot feature that allows several users to share a single virtual surrounding. Finally, the dream of gamers is becoming increasingly real. Lego has already showcased a virtual playground where players can communicate with the merged virtual and original reality.
Identification of 3D objects
Unlike the previous version that only supports flat items like a paper sheet or table surface, ARKit 2.0 allows programmers to identify any possible 3d objects.
Storing AR objects
Another breathtaking improvement is the capability for an app to remember the location where you've left an AR item or a space. To save the location you need to bind AR items and spaces to real-world objects (like table or plate) or real-world spaces (like a living room or cafe).
