Introduction

Everyone has surely watched a movie about the future at least one time in their life. As for me, I have watched plenty of them and there are a lot of really good ones. But how good and funny it was to watch a movie about the adventures of Marty McFly and how disappointing it was when 21 October 2015 came true. We are the generation who have the opportunity to welcome the future that we saw in the childhood movies. Usually it’s not nearly as good as we imagined, but it’s only our fault. Today we have all the necessary tools to make those dreams real.

The tool we needed is called: Internet of Things (IoT). The main idea of this technology is to connect different devices together to allow them to communicate with each other and control or be controlled by other devices. Using this technology, we can start from some basic things and connect our home devices one by one into one ecosystem. And at the end we will have a system similar to the ones we saw in the movies, when we have an AI assistant who understands voice commands and can control home devices and functions. And since we still have some time before 2029, let’s start the Skynet implementation.

Building Waypoints Using Augmented Reality

Introduction

A lot of time has passed since Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) were introduced to people, and it was a very promising announcement. The new technologies were supposed to change and improve multiple spheres of our life. Now we have a bunch of applications using AR technology. Those applications vary from games (like Warhammer 40,000 free blade, The Machines) to some examples that really help us in our everyday life (AR MeasureKit, Sky Guide AR, IKEA Place). All those applications use only the phone itself, but the most useful outcome of the technology is when it is combined with another. Augmented reality can be combined with GPS locations to provide visual directions in different situations. Today we have a lot of navigators which guide users from point A to point B. The thing is that the user can’t see this path in the real world. Only on the map. And here augmented reality comes to help us. Let’s build an augmented reality app which will guide us along the path displayed on the map. To perform augmented reality development, I will use the Swift language, but those examples can be easily converted to Objective-C code.
