Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming more and more involved in our apps. This list shows a good selection of what is possible with AR. From functional and useful apps to ‘just for fun’ apps. These apps all use AR in their own way. You’ll see that the technology is still in the beginning of its existence, some are still in experimental phase, while others are a more advanced. To be honest, I can’t wait what the future will bring with this new technology!
There is a reason why this is an ‘editors choice’ in the Apple App store. This app works amazing, with just simply putting a new couch in your living room to see if it fits with your home interior. This saves a lot of time and effort for those who were carrying furniture around to see how a certain piece would look like. The tiny point for improvement, not all their furniture stock is in there yet, but I think the guys from Sweden won’t take long before they do.

Although its still in test phase, it deserves a place in my top 5. Google maps is taking the next step in navigation. Literally! Walk around while AR is leading the way. Add AR to google maps navigations and it’s an even easier way to navigate through the city.

The +1 off the list! This child classic in a totally different way. A lot of kids grew up with the book of the very hungry catepillar and with this AR experience they are taking it to the next level. The Caterpillar comes to life and is very hungry, indeed! You need to feed it and feed it and feed it, until… (We all know how the story ends, right!?)
