Hi- I worked on this along with some other people. Here's what a demo looks like: https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-28-2017/gMnJTj.gif https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-28-2017/gMnJTj.gif You can try a really cool demo made with it here: https://expo.io/@nikki/dire-dire-ducks https://expo.io/@nikki/dire-dire-ducks It fills your room with water and has ducks swimming around. The sound changes if you dive underwater, and if you press the screen, the ducks will swim towards you. This is a video of what it looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EL1emCVtIw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EL1emCVtIw And you can read more about it here: https://blog.expo.io/introducing-expo-ar-mobile-augmented-reality-with-javascript-powered-by-arkit-b0d5a02ff23 https://blog.expo.io/introducing-expo-ar-mobile-augmented-re...

  Hey! Sorry -- we should've made this clearer. ARKit only works on devices running iOS 11, and some particular devices at that: iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, iPhone SE, iPad Pro (9.7, 10.5 or 12.9) – both first-gen and 2nd-gen, iPad (2017), iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhone X I think these are the ones, at the time of posting this comment.

    Ah ok, I saw the "download for Android" and installed it right away :)
    - nikki93 9y ago
      Haha yeah, Expo itself generally works on both iOS and Android, but this particular demo in Expo works on iOS only since it needs ARKit. Here's an edit of the demo to just use a standard THREE.js camera and scene and not an AR one: https://snack.expo.io/rJCl4mnib https://snack.expo.io/rJCl4mnib It should work on Android. You can still edit the code (like the box dimensions) to see the changes immediately!

    Sigh. The first time my venerable iphone 6 is holding me back from something I know I want.

      Same here. And just as it's become mine free and clear...

        There's a reason that phone contracts are the length they are. ;)

  It uses Apple's ARKit so it will only work on iPhones. And you need iOS 11 and at least an iPhone 6S or a very recent iPad for it to work. Google has announced some Android AR stuff so when they roll they out, we will look at making this stuff work across both platforms. Sorry it won't work for you yet!

    I always wait for the first minor version bump before installing a new iOS release. Not this time! I can't wait that long to play with what you've built. (I'd like to read more about it, too, but your Medium link upthread is 404ing...)

      11.0.1 came out earlier this week.
      - throwanem 9y ago
        Minor, not patch.

    Does it work on an SE (basically got 6s innards)?
    - thisacctforreal 9y ago
      Yep :) 5s and 6 recieved iOS11, but they don’t have the hardware for ARKit SE, 6s onwards has the hardware for ARKit
