It's possible Apple will be making a similar set of moves using its RealityKit AR tools and its own location-based, Maps-reliant capabilities at WWDC, as it readies an expected headset for 2023 release. One part of AR that always remains up in the air: Will people actually use it? AR apps on phones can often end up being ignored, although face filters and pop-up experiences can sometimes end up going viral, too. Right now, it's another incremental Google AR move to add to years of gradual progress on phones, but as more pop-up AR experiences start to appear, maybe it's also the start of AR feeling more like an invisible layer, much like Google's 3D animals that have been in Google search, than an app by itself. As more future AR headsets start to arrive - from Apple, Google, Qualcomm and maybe others - this type of map layer could end up being the building block of some sort of new interface. Google's AR tools work across Android and iOS, which also gives it the unique possibility of being cross-platform. But Google's new moves look to inspire more creators making these apps, and maybe interlink more experiences into a common framework… perhaps for future AR headsets, too.Ī maps layer for future AR headsets, perhaps? Google's play to make more real-world experiences also ties into some of the hopes for AR sparking retail and marketing efforts, much like Snapchat's recent moves. Niantic's virtual AR pet Peridot and its map-based social Campfire app are also blending maps and AR and the real world. Snapchat's had live concert experiences, and is building more location-based games and filters. Google experimented with a location-based AR concert last year featuring Gorillaz. Other companies have already been doing real-world, location-specific AR games and apps: Think Pokemon Go, but for concerts or sports or games or art.
