iOS 11 it will have an integrated augmented reality system thanks to the ARKit platform that Apple has released for now in beta version for developers. I have seen many implementations of ARKit for iOS 11 in applications for iPhone or iPad, but only today do we see the future of navigation guided by GPS, the company Apple is going to integrate an augmented reality system including in Apple Maps.
iOS 11 has presented in the video clips below two implementations in which augmented reality can be used in Apple Maps on iPhone and iPad at the moment. In the first of them we can see Apple Maps used for visually guided navigation using augmented reality from iOS 11, and in the second we have a function that Apple's navigation application offers natively for everyone.
iOS 11 will practically allow us to hold the terminals in our hands in front of us and actually see the information regarding guided navigation superimposed on them with images from the real world. You can see that the entire route and directions for navigation are superimposed with the real images taken using the iPhone and iPad camera that use iOS 11, the change made by the Apple company greatly simplifying the guided navigation.
iOS 11 has in these video clips a very interesting and useful demonstration that shows us how much we can get from the augmented reality in the iPhone and iPad. iOS 11 still has these functions for augmented reality in development, but the Apple company wants to offer them for iPhone and iPad until the fall, so then we will be able to enjoy all of them as you can see in the clips below.
