Apple is all set to host its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) next week and the company is expected to make a ton of announcements regarding its software ecosystem. We expect the company to reveal the next major updates for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, along with improvements for its digital assistant Siri.
Talking about the AR enhancements, the sources revealed that the company plans to highlight the advancements it has made in the field of augmented reality by upgrading its tools for both iPhones and iPads. The new software release, internally called ARKit 2.0, will include a new mode which will let users play AR games with each other in the same virtual reality environment. The software will also include another mode which will allow users to drop objects into an area, which will remain in place no matter how the user moves. The new AR advancements are believed to be a prelude to the company’s upcoming AR headset which is rumored to hit the market as early as 2020.
