Apple's updated ARkit 2.0 coming this September



Remember apple introduced IOS 12 in its big 2018 WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) , and one of the key new features of the updated mobile operating system is ARKit 2.

ARKit 2 is an updated version of ARKit. Apple announced the ARkit at last year's WWDC that allows developers to create augmented reality (AR) apps and games for the iPhone and iPad. And this year Apple decided to go even further by introducing new features to the ARkit 2 at this year’s WWDC.


According to apple, the ARkit 2 will allow developers to integrate shared experiences, persistent AR experiences tied to a specific location, object detection and image tracking to make AR apps even more dynamic.
Below are some key features to expect from Apple’s ARKit 2 coming in September.

Shared experiences: Shared experiences with ARKit 2 make AR even more engaging on iPhone and iPad, allowing multiple users to play a game or collaborate on projects like home renovations.




Persistent AR: Persistent AR will also change the way consumers interact with AR apps by creating opportunities to leave virtual objects in the real world to which users can return to.

Measure: Measure is a new app in iOS 12, which uses AR to quickly gauge the size of real-world objects similar to a tape measure. The new app automatically provides the dimensions of objects like picture frames, posters and signs, and can also show diagonal measurements, compute area and allow users to take a photo and share it with accurate dimensions right from their iPhone or iPad.
