AR is a technology that combines the digital with reality. The technology has been trying to reach the market for many years, but due to high demands on mobile performance, it has not been possible to reach the fullest. It was only when the game Pokémon GO broke through as the people became interested in AR and started investing more time and money to develop it.

AR is usually used in the form of a mobile application, where you can create a world, combined with the camera in the mobile phone, combined with the digital and reality. By starting the mobile application that also opens the camera, you can start pointing the camera to different objects or surfaces. On the mobile screen, you see reality as it is, such as a regular room with furniture, while the mobile application places a digital layer over the room. The layer can display anything and also adjusts using light, shape, and size to make it look proportional.
IKEA Place is an example of a mobile application built using Apple’s ARKit, a toolbox provided by Apple, allowing developers to create their own applications using AR. The IKEA Place application is used by holding up the cellphone in a room and then selecting furniture from their product catalog to see if they fit into the room. The camera captures the reality, that is, the space, and applies the digital layer of a piece of furniture to the top of the room, and can use the sophisticated technology to calculate whether it will resize, brightness, or position. In the best and most realistic way, the furniture must be seen in the mobile application and also in reality in order to determine if the furniture fits into the home or not.
