so with iOS 11 Apple introduced a brand-new augmented reality framework the creatively called AR kit and the first app stick advantage is that new AR kit tech are starting to filter out so we play it with a ton you hear a TechnoBuffalo to bring you eight that are fun useful and kind of show off what the tech can do so we tell you and I think the top eight AR apps are all rights let's start off with measure kits it's a free app if ou you wanted to tape measure and if you want to use it as just an AR tape measure it works actually really well if you want to measure or anything you just use your phone with your tape measure at home but if you want to pay some money like $2.99 they're gonna supposedly unlock some more features and because I don't want you spending $2.99 of features that don't work we tested those features so it'll do things like trajectory to tell the distance of an object one of the coolest things reason I wanted to try it was it'll tell you how tall a person is you can use it to measure to measure person didn't work we're just kind of kind of a bummer and I included on this list I think it shows the potential of AR actually replacing physical tools you can measure things like cubes you can use a level all those things worked but the one I wanted to try again measuring a dude or or lady didn't quite function properly so I think for right now save yourself the three bucks and its use it as a tape measure and as technology gets better and you want to be able to measure a person then go ahead and in the box alright coming in at number two this one's existed in various AR formats for a while but now it got super legit it's not just for delicious meatballs anymore and Swedish Fish IKEA IKEA is in the game with a really awesome AR app called IKEA place it actually lets you put IKEA furniture in the real world space it was really cool to see if we wanted to buy a couch for a set look envision what are we going to look like here we want to sort of add chairs to different other sets we've got in the studio it's really cool and I picked it not only excited thought it was really useful but it shows a legitimate use of technology that can actually help technology not just for tech sake it's you go to an IKEA Story one and you know something's going to look in your home you had to buy it you had to either carry at home and then build it and see how it looks get it delivered now you can actually see it and be like oof I got bad taste or your wife can entire box the orange couch idea which has happened but now I wouldn't have had a have a couch delivered in that area I took games a ours pretty pretty fun for games as Pokemon go taught us this one is appropriately called stack AR if you've played the stack game it's it's the AR version of that it's free so you can now stack things in the AR you can sacks up on a desk you'd stack stuff on Bertos head you can stack stuff on your friend's head it's EXIF on on whatever you want it's a really fun game game was fun and fine without AR but it's there and you can you try it are so next one I think might be the coolest this is world brush and so on a very like high level you can take different kinds of brushes and you could paint in a real world and then after you're done drawing and painting your Matisse inspired masterpiece you can use your spoon around and actually view it in 3d it's really cool to see the app is also gonna serve tag stuff a GPS so if someone comes back to they can see what you drew other people because the Internet's a really friendly place can definitely like your artwork if you choose to let them do so they can like it they can not like it that you comment on it you know you look at sort of what things look like in the real world you had to draw it out on a flat surface or a model out it's for a CAD program but now you're gonna shoot your finger and a phone this and this best friends for life next app is gonna cost you that's 209 called sky guide AR and it gives you a guide to the sky obviously you hold your phone up it'll show you the constellations as things are happening it's a really cool way to sort of see the sky above you and know what's there if you're wondering what that blinking light is it'll tell you it's a plane not a star you're gonna have that really bright thing in the sky is as a planet with the North Star this will tell you it's only worth the money if your amateur astronomer or you want to be a mature astronomer or if you have a four-year-old who's fascinated with the Stars and why they are there then you're gonna want to give this app a shot again not three but it's not super expensive I think it's worth a try specially if you want to see what a Arc because I know you love free the next one is free this is hallo this is a pretty simple concept brings a our characters to like life on your desk or ever you want it to be you can pick superheroes my favorite was like the super swaggy spider-man and you can sort of interact with them you can put yourself in their it's again I keep bringing my kids into this but to let my kid have a conversation with spider-man was it was pretty cool to see to go wizards and other other characters you might want it's not like so useful i wouldn't pay for it but it's like a good like 10-minute killer if you're like oh man i got to wait for my wife to finish shopping give it a download and get some business ye spider-man so - good news bad news on this next one the good news it's free the bad news is gonna have to get your butt up off the chair it's called an AR runner and the name should probably give it away it makes you move and it makes you run it creates little dots and a course that you want to set out presumably outdoors got a lot of space indoors you can run from dot-to-dot and jump around and create different obstacles it's a fun way to get moving you're definitely gonna want to look up from your phone turn right into something like I did while I was trying this it didn't get it look some people do it outdoors because you're literally running around like this alright and last but definitely not least this is $0.99 well-spent and if you only pay money for one of the apps I mentioned make it Atlas and it's not like a like a Thomas guide come to life it's an atlas of the human body so being able to seed the nervous system the endocrine system see a skull and move it around they've got 3d renders and bodies of anything that you would want to see and learn it is awesome to see this and probably the coolest use of AR today and it probably doesn't need a are it could be awesome you could have done this without judgment the reality part of it it's just really cool from a science standpoint from a curious about the human body standpoint it's a really cool app I definitely recommend you give it a shot so before I end my top eight AR abs video I want to thank our sponsors and good people like Kingston and tell you a little bit about the bolt and the bolt is pretty cool it plugs into your lightning port it's really small it's not gonna create any sort of wiggle or waggle you put it on a table it's gonna sit flush they'll been 3264 twenty eight gigabytes sizes it's going to serve essentially as a backup for all your photos or videos you can take pictures or videos directly to the bolts you can save space on your phone you can backup certainly videos or pictures that you want it's really customizable the Volt is a really good way to go and I think I must have accessory for almost any iPhone
