3 Best iOS Apps to Experience 

Augmented Reality Now










With iOS 11, and the addition of ARKit, Apple’s mobile operating system has officially entered the augmented reality revolution. The first wave of ARKit-powered apps has hit the App Store this week, and there are a lot of them. Use the right arrow to view 10 of the best AR apps available now so you can try out iOS 11’s new augmented reality capabilities.




3 World Brush







World Brush is an app that lets you decorate your physical world using 3D shapes and designs. That may sound like a pretty basic concept, but one of the cooler features is that objects or drawings don’t disappear (unless you delete them), so other users can see your works of art in public spaces — it’s like street art without the illegality. World Brush is a free download. Get it here.




2 Holo




                                                           





You may not be able to hang out with celebrities and fictional characters, but Holo may just be the next best thing. The new ARKit-enhanced version of the app lets you “place” holographic models in real-world environments. Those 3D models range from real-life personalities like astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actor Jon Hamm, and R&B singer Jhené Aiko, to a range of animals and mythical creatures. Holo is free to download and use. Get it here.



1 Complete Anatomy 2018








Showing off the education potential of ARKit, the new version of Complete Anatomy features an AR mode that lets users place a 3D anatomical model on any flat surface using their iPad or iPad Pro running iOS 11. For medical students, anatomy majors and curious learners, it’s a great way to bring human anatomy lessons out of the textbook and (basically) into the real world. The app is free to download, but the full unlocked version costs $24.99. Get it here.
