(Original title: Apple and IKEA teamed up to create AR applications for virtual furniture shopping with ARKit)
[TechWeb Report] June 20 news, according to foreign media reports, by using Apple's new augmented reality technology ARKit, IKEA has shared plans to achieve virtual furniture shopping.
Michael Valdsgaard, head of IKEA, said the new application will have a Swedish name and introduce 500 to 600 products. Future launches of new products will be first released in this app. This app will have a brand new interactive experience that will make it easier for users to place products in the augmented reality space around them.
About Apple and ARKit, according to the owner of IKEA, Apple has made significant progress in the field of AR recently, including the size and lighting of virtual items, and the current position can be accurate to millimeters.
At the time of the first release, buyers may not be able to purchase in apps, but this feature is already planned and is expected to become part of the app sooner or later.
Apple announced its partnership with IKEA at the WWDC conference when they announced the iOS 11 ARKit. Tim Cook also mentioned this partnership in an interview.
Since Apple announced iOS 11 and ARKit at the WWDC conference, Apple and the development team have been advancing at full speed. Developers have already begun experimenting with ARKit and creating different demonstration programs to demonstrate the potential of the API (Application Program Interface).
This fall, millions of iphones and iPads will be upgraded to iOS 11, making iOS one of the largest platforms for augmented reality.
This is not the first time IKEA has been involved in augmented reality. The IKEA catalog was first released in 2013 for the iOS and Android platforms. The app also allows users to use 3D and augmented reality technology to bring the Swedish company’s products to their homes.
It remains to be seen how ARKit can be used to improve or differentiate IKEA's augmented reality experience from what is currently available in its catalog application. Since IKEA's Android application also has AR functionality, it is possible to make interesting comparisons between the ARKit-based Augmented Reality experience on the iOS 11 platform and the non-ARKit experience on other platforms.
Valdsgaard said that this new application will be released this fall and allows users to purchase in-app. (Little Fox)
