With the release of ARKit and ARCore, environment-aware augmented reality will reach nearly a billion devices in the next year. For most consumers, this will be their first taste of immersive content, with a device they already have in their pocket. We’ve seen millions of installs of phone-based AR apps over the last six months; expect the first big wave of ground-up designed games, branded experiences, and consumer applications to hit in 2018.
