Since the last WWDC of June held in the city of San Jose, Apple and the developers are working on iOS 11 on the ARKit augmented reality technology. This work is showing us some interesting brushstrokes and, above all, where it is most spectacular is in the Maps application and in the navigation itself.
In this case, what we want to show is a small summary of the work that can be seen online and that really shows the advances of this technology. The developers themselves and the new beta versions of iOS go hand in hand and the advances are really spectacular.
These are some of the samples that we see on the net and especially on social networks such as Twitter:
Here is where we're headed

We can see the points of interest on a map simply pointing the device or even follow the indications in the purest style of the Sygic browser maps among many other new features.

This is another video example navigation in augmented reality from the developer Andrew Hart, with ARKit and CoreLocation:
We are very clear that Apple is not the first company to enter the field of augmented reality, but we are sure that they will improve it to a truly spectacular point as we are seeing. Those from Cupertino are possibly the ones who have taken the longest to get into this field and this as always has its good part and its bad part. Ultimately it is about improve what we already have or are beginning to have within our reach And this Apple does very well, if we also add the tireless work of developers with powerful tools, the result can be really good.
