Imagine if the line between the virtual and the real simply didn’t exist.

Your classroom could become the cosmos.
The past could be as vivid as the present.
And the familiar could look like nothing you’ve ever seen.


With iPhone and iPad, those experiences are not only possible, they’re here. Augmented reality is a new way to use technology that transforms how you work, learn, play, and connect with almost everything around you. And this is just the beginning.

Welcome to a new world.

● AR + Productivity
Augmented reality is incredibly useful for solving everyday problems. Put furniture into your space to see how it looks and fits in your home. Or navigate complicated spaces without ever looking at a map. Now, you can do things you couldn’t imagine before using augmented reality, and discover new ways of doing the things you need to get done today. Your to-do list has never been so interesting.


● AR + Play
With augmented reality, the entire world around you is in play. Bring virtual monsters to life in your neighborhood park or on your kitchen counter. Or put on a mask to instantly join a costume party with friends halfway across the globe. By interacting with virtual objects as if they’re in your surroundings, you can immerse yourself in entertainment like you never imagined. The real world is about to get really fun.

● AR + Learning
Firsthand experience is one of the most powerful ways to learn. And with augmented reality, you can experience just about anything you can imagine. Break down the complicated mechanics of a car engine before touching a wrench. Or analyze the most minute bones of the human body without making a single incision. The possibilities for learning are virtually limitless.

● AR + iPhone + iPad
Apple hardware and software have always been designed together for the best experience possible. Now that experience includes augmented reality like you’ve never seen it before. iOS 11 and ARKit take advantage of the powerful hardware in iPhone and iPad to bring the virtual world seamlessly into the real world.
