The floodgates of AR are about to open in the next few months. This is an interesting time.
- germinalphrase 9y agoWhy "the next few months"? Is the tech all there - just waiting for the killer application?
- tw1010 9y agoDevs need some time to create the stuff. Might take a month or so to really start getting the feeling that AR has finally arrived.
- abledon 9y agoYep! It's time to finally buy that pesky IOS Developer License. For better of for worse, AR is here and we will be more glued to screens than ever.
- gok 9y agoFor what it’s worth, if you don’t intend to publish on the App Store, you no longer need to buy a license. You can develop on your own devices with a (free) Apple ID.
- teddyh 9y ago…if you can stand recompiling and re-installing your apps every 7 days.
- lvillani 9y agoAre you sure that's true? I have an app on my phone that I last built and installed more than a month ago and it's working just fine.
- teddyh 9y agoIn this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14384430 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14384430), multiple people claimed that 7 days was the limit.
- BoorishBears 9y agoI'd be surprised if the average developer's actively developed app sees so few changes that they have to reinstall every 7 days. Maybe once in a while while you work on other stuff, or take a break, but doing a compile after 7 days of no compiles doesn't seem like a huge deal
- empath75 9y agoI’ve looked at a few ar apps on the App Store and I genuinely don’t get the appeal. And I own an oculus. Staring at the world through a phone seeems like a terrible user interface.
- usaphp 9y agoI am pretty sure Apple will release some sort of lightweight glasses which just add those AR objects into your view. I doubt they except AR to become big thing just by using a tiny phone screen
- jsemrau 9y agoThat's exactly my point. I had developed an AR parking app and there is nothing weirder and more useless than this interface.
