The iPhone 8 is on the lips of all analysts and all the rumors suggest that it will revolutionize part of the market. Certain analysts give enormous power to their design while others emphasize that will have one of the most powerful cameras until never seen. Many of these rumors are accompanied by patents that Apple registered years ago and that could probably be seen in the new iPhone that, if we continue with the usual structure, we will see in September of this year. Now, a new rumor suggests that A group of more than 1000 Apple engineers would be working to make augmented reality a success on the iPhone 8.
1000 engineers working in augmented reality
This type of news has an impact, and a lot. According to the latest analyst report Steven milunovich Together with its UBS team, it is claimed that Apple could have more than a thousand engineers working for and for augmented reality in Israel, a remote place where the Big Apple has already worked at some time. These thousand engineers they would be working with an augmented reality project for future devices: and what better device to show this type of technology than the next iPhone from Cupertino.
If we compare the report with the latest rumors that the iPhone 8 will have facial unlocking, or it will be able to make avatars with 3D technology, it is more than clear that Apple is possibly working on the cameras of its next terminal (both front and rear) to offer new technologies that surprise the user.
Nor can we forget the words that have come from the mouth of Tim Cook who praises augmented reality:
I think augmented reality is great. Very big.
The augmented reality system, according to UBS, will be carried out including functions such as the XNUMX-dimensional mapping through stereoscopic vision (similar to that of humans). This mapping function would be based on another technology called SLAM that allows simultaneous mapping and localization.
Although Apple leaps to offer augmented reality on iPhone 8, it is clear that the second word belongs to the developers. The Big Apple could offer information at WWDC2017, in which a new development kit for put the candy in your mouth to developers.
