Reality Construction Kit lets you put augmented reality objects in your real space, and play.   Toss balls, boxes and bubbles into your space - they bounce, flow, stack, rock and roll as if they're real. Tack tracks and planks into your walls, stairs and furniture and roll balls down your new course. Stack boxes, fill crates and knock them over. Toss Darts and they stick the landing. Shoot Baskets and score. Create a wild contraption made of all of these and see it work! Throughout, virtual objects realistically collide, slide, bounce, roll across surfaces, and disappear behind real ones. With uncanny collisions, reflections, shadows, and directional 3D sounds, it's the most insanely realistic augmented reality yet. The magic is enabled by a LiDAR sensor on your state-of-the-art device. As you look around, it sees the shapes in your real environment, so virtual objects can seamlessly inhabit it. "A brilliant use of the LiDAR camera on iPhone/iPad Pros. Perfectly realistic physics. Wow. Just wow." - Charlie Fink, Forbes Simple buttons let you delete recent items and try again, until your scene, course or contraption is just how you want it.   And you can get more kinds of items from the Reality Store. Reality Construction Kit brings a new generation of astonishing realistic AR you can create yourself.

AR MultiPendulum allows you to interact with virtual objects directly with your hand instead of tapping their location on a touchscreen. It brings a mesmerizing multi-pendulum simulation into augmented reality. You interact with this simulation through hand movements and modify it through a holographic interface. Not only does this app bring augmented reality to a pendulum simulation, it is also the first app to simulate more than three pendulums. Additionally, by repurposing a VR headset for AR, this is the first app that gives users an affordable AR headset experience. If you have Google Cardboard, you can turn your iPhone into an AR headset that renders your surroundings in VR, based on images acquired using your device's camera. Some of the latest iPhones and iPads have a built-in LiDAR scanner, which allows a device to understand the 3D shape of its surroundings. On these devices, this app uses the scanner to more realistically render your surroundings and reconstruct the 3D position of your hand.
