Listen Later

In this episode of Mobile Development with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how AR is finally finding practical footing in mobile apps in 2026. They break down why ARKit and ARCore are now shipping as default frameworks, and how IKEA Place and Snapchat are using AR beyond gimmicks — IKEA's AR furniture placement drove a 14 percent conversion lift, while Snapchat's AR shopping lenses generated $12 billion in revenue last year. The hosts also discuss the shift from marker-based to spatial AR, and what developers need to know about the new RealityKit 3 and AR Foundation 5. If you've been skeptical about AR on mobile, this episode will show you where it's actually delivering value.
