Provides Best-in-Class Development Experience to Unity’s Robust Community
SAN FRANCISCO, September 21, 2017 -- Unity Technologies (https://unity3d.com/), the creator of the world’s most popular creation engine that powers 2/3rds of all Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) gaming and interactive entertainment content, announced today support for iOS 11 and provides a best-in-class experience for ARKit development. Unity worked to ensure the latest features from iOS 11 and ARKit were supported, setting developers up for greater success. ARKit is now available to hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users. With ARKit, Unity developers can easily create AR experiences for iPhone and iPad, as well as add AR to existing apps available on the App Store.
“At Unity, we believe the world is a better place with more creators in it, and the launch of iOS 11 and ARKit means even more people will have the ability to create and enjoy engaging, accessible AR experiences,” said Ralph Hauwert, Director of Development for Platforms at Unity. “Supporting the latest and greatest tech ensures we can give our creators the confidence and tools to build and scale, while easily publishing across nearly any platform.”
Unity developers have been building immersive AR experiences through the Unity ARKit plugin since June 2017. A sample of made with Unity apps that utilize ARKit include:
There have also been some interesting ARKit experiments made with Unity such as TRIXI’s AR version of A-Ha’s “Take on Me” which brings to life the famed sketched music video in a new way. Anki’s 4th of July celebration, created by Wieden + Kennedy, showcases the imagination of beloved robot Cozmo.
To learn more about how to get started with ARKIT plugin for Unity, please read the Unity iOS 11 and ARKit blog post. Unity also plans to feature ARKit demo content at their upcoming developer conference Unite Austin on October 3-5, 2017.
Unity exists to democratize development, solve hard problems and enable success -- three core values that are the driving forces of Unity’s adoption by millions of creators. Unity reaches more than 3 billion devices worldwide and was installed more than 16 billion times in 2016 alone.
