This demonstration was created by Andrew Hart who is doing application development in London. Retrieving terminal position information By combining "CoreLocation" and "ARKit", the name of the landmark shown on the screen is displayed. It is very futuristic that the balloon follows up correctly even if the camera moves.


The London region with three British skyscrapers "Canary Wharf (Canary Wharf) "Is displayed ......


When I shake the camera, this time I will be in the London city's arena "O2 Arena (O2 ArenaThe name of ") was displayed.


Turning the camera to the other side, this time the skyscraper "The Shard (The Shard) And the district of central London "City of London (City of LondonThe name of ") will be displayed. In this way, it seems possible to display the main facility and the district name of the area just by turning the camera.


And this footage is more exciting. When the route is decided with "Starbucks" as the name of the place you want to go to the "Map" application, a red arrow showing the direction of the direction and the blue route is displayed on the actual cityscape on the next screen. From the display that is too natural, "It is finally time for this to be able to come ......" It seems that we will leak out the admiration voice.


First, search for the place you want to go ... ...


Search directions to the destination. It is a way to aim for the current location of the screen or the goal spot "Starbucks" on the right.


On the next screen, a blue route on the road of the city that the camera caught and a red arrow indicating the direction to go were displayed.


Even if you walk through the course, of course the route in the screen will continue to display.


Finally turning to the right ......


Starbucks displayed as a pin mark appeared there.


"AR navigation" by ARKit that seems to have made navigation function and voice guide so far to be past at once in the future will be gradually available to anyone with the release of iOS 11.
