Augmented reality technology may not have been of interest to most iPhone users before. Each of us has only tried it once or twice to satisfy our curiosity and become familiar with this new technology. This experience was accompanied by many complaints, chiefly the high temperature of the device, and the rapid depletion of the battery if using this technology. We also know that augmented reality technology is still in the progress. With each new release, Apple makes improvements and adds new features. Until the release of the ARKit 2.0 library, Apple launched new features in iOS 12 for AR in order to satisfy these users and make the use of them much greater than before. So what's new in augmented reality technology in iOS 12? Follow us.
Measure app included
Several applications that support virtual tools to measure objects in the real world were launched in sync with the launch of augmented reality technology for the first time, but Apple introduced the new and more accurate Measure application in measuring objects. The fact that this application and its ilk are third-party applications made users begin to appreciate this technology. Measure uses augmented reality to quickly find the size of real-world objects, and works similarly to a tape measure. This new application automatically provides measurements of objects such as picture frames, paintings, and banners. It can also provide diagonal measurements and area measurements, and allows users to take a picture and share it with accurate measurements from an iPhone or iPad directly.
Measure requires ARKit 2.0 and only supports iOS 12 devices that support AR, starting with iPhone 6s, iPad Pro or iPad 2017, and later devices.
Players can play with others
A new feature called shared experiences makes augmented reality on iOS devices more attractive by allowing multiple users to play a game or collaborate on projects such as home decorating. Developers can also add viewing mode that provides friends and relatives with the ability to enjoy watching an augmented reality game from a different iOS device.
There aren't many apps or games available from this area. We hope that the developers will incorporate this feature in our favorite games. At the last Apple conference WWDC 2018, this feature was revealed on the Galaga game.

XNUMXD Object Detection
In the beginning, the ARKit 2.0 library did not support this feature, but Apple supported it in iOS 12, and augmented reality applications are able to discover things like the sofa and models, and you can customize them and add what you want. For example, if you are using a museum application, if you point your camera at a picture or painting, you may be able to display a library that contains all the paintings and inventions of the owner of that image. You can also do this with books and posters.
Great improvement in face tracking
When augmented reality is used in Snapchat, Messages, and FaceTime, the augmented reality filters work much better than before, and through the improved motion tracking feature in iOS 12, it can recognize whisks, blues, winks, tongue out, and more. These features only apply to iPhone X and later devices.
Ongoing experiments
Similar to shared experiences, there is continuous augmented reality or continuous experiences. Meaning that you can do something in an application that supports augmented reality and leave the virtual objects somewhere, and you will be able to see them later in the same place and then complete your tasks, so one or more users can start solving a puzzle on a table and return to it to find it as it was, or users can create Art project over a period of weeks, with no need to restart every time.
More realistic virtual objects
Now there is support for reflection, to make the scene appear closer to real life by automatically detecting XNUMXD objects and their real-life reflections on virtual reality objects such as shadow and reflection on the wall or in the mirror. Thus the augmented reality experience becomes a more realistic mixture of the real and virtual worlds.
AR Quick Look feature works in Apple apps
IOS 12 makes it easy to enjoy an AR experience almost anywhere on iOS in apps like Mail, Messages, and Safari to quickly view and interact with content or gifs in your environment. This means that you can shop online in Safari without having to download another dedicated app.
More Animoji
In iOS 11.3, Apple released only 4 anime, in addition to 12 previously. Apple also launched 4 new characters in iOS 12: Tiger, Ghost, Koala and Tyrannosaurus T-Rex. Animoji supports iPhone X and later. And he became more interactive than before.
