This week, we have a collection of augmented reality apps. AR is an exciting, emerging area of technology, and these apps use it to help visualize real objects, create fun experiences for kids, and educate.

  • IKEA Place - One of the first apps announced alongside the original incarnation of ARKit, IKEA Place lets you browse through IKEA's catalog of furniture and place virtual items in your actual living space. From a desk in your home office to a chair for your living room, you can get a good idea about how it will look once it's in your home using the augmented reality capabilities of this app. Scan an empty piece of floor, then place and rotate your desired product on it to see the realistic model appear. You can also share what you see using Messages or other social media apps. Free- Download Now

  • JigSpace - Take your learning experiments to the next level with JigSpace. With knowledge on a large breadth of topics, JigSpace uses AR to break down how things work, letting you deep into the Earth to see the makeup of our planet, to taking apart headphones to show all of the parts. Each object placed by JigSpace is fully interactive, letting you see parts up close. Soon, JigSpace will offer tools to let you create your own Jigs through the Jig Workshop, which you can then share with everyone through the app. Free - Download Now

  • TapMeasure - While Apple will introduce the Measure app to the world later this year with the launch of iOS 12, right now there are apps like TapMeasure. And even when Measure launches, TapMeasure will remain a better solution for AR measuring for a lot of people. While offering basic features such as measuring the distance between two points or measuring area, TapMeasure features a smart level to help you straighten things hanging on your wall, as well as the 3D Room Builder, which creates an instantaneous accurate 3D model of a room. You can then view this model on its own.
