Related and interesting piece on how Apple is betting big on AR, potentially with glasses.
The AR app guides passengers through the airport using the camera view of their smartphone, making it easier to locate check-in areas, departure gates and baggage belts. This is significant as satellite-based GPS systems are usually blocked in the terminal. The app can be used both to send reminders to passengers and to locate them in the terminal. So if a passenger is running late, the airline can use the location from the beacon to decide whether or not to wait for the passenger to board.
Apple has announced a tool it calls ARKit, which will provide advanced augmented reality capabilities on iOS. It’s supposed to allow for “fast and stable motion tracking” that makes objects look like they’re actually being placed in real space, instead of simply hovering over it. And yes, this will make Pokémon Go look better.
