It is our goal to bring you affordable AR parts and accessories that you can rely on, but that is not what sets us apart. What sets us apart is our love for the industry and our customers.
Today AR is one of the rapidly growing industry, So here in this guide we have compared between these two most popular AR platform (ARkit or ARcore) to find which one is better at being the next generation technology.
Whether you live in a big city or are just visiting, finding a specific location can be a little difficult.
It can be easy to get turned around right when you get off the subway or train, for example, and the compass in the maps app you’re using may not offer much help.
Google’s solution is an integrated augmented reality (AR) mode for walking navigation, to help point the way.
The company first announced the feature at Google I/O 2018, and it’s finally making its way to the Maps app.
AR Mode was initially exclusive to Google’s Pixel phones — including the Pixel 3a — but the company has now made it available for any Android phone that supports ARCore and any iPhone that supports ARKit.

2017 has been an incredible year for iOS. Apple launched two new iPhone devices – iPhone 8 (Plus) and iPhone X – in the market.
Additionally, this global giant provided major updates on iOS 11.
Apple has also improved their technical support for customers and has been quite active throughout 2017.
With new trends booming and influencing the whole iOS community, developers too are tuning them for their progressing and upcoming iOS app developmentprojects.
Here is a set of trends we can expect in iOS application development in 2018.
- Augmented Reality
When iOS 11 was launched with substantial features, the most talked-about feature was their support to Augmented Reality applications.
Amazon declared the Sumerian app platform which is compatible with Apple's ARKit system which permits iOS application developer to create augmented reality, virtual reality and 3D applications for iPad and iPhone devices.
Mobile applications have ceased to simply be a way to enjoy entertainment and games.
Kotlin simplifies the code and makes it easier.
: “It is really worth paying attention to this language.
So far, Kotlin has not been used in production, but we have plans to write a project with the help of Kotlin from the start.”
