With the boom of mobile apps and responsive websites in business operations; enterprises and businesses were in the search of a new and innovative way of utilizing the functionalities and anywhere presence of mobility solutions. Augmented Reality (AR) apps for the iPhone and iPad come as a glitter of the gold for enterprises. AR’s sensory, visual, and graphics allow businesses to create an immersive experience for its users.
Augmented Reality is reshaping the business process in an utterly new way. Industries like eCommerce, healthcare, real estate are using augmented reality to provide a better user experience. The Augmented Reality App Development offers enterprises an enhanced approach to operate day-to-day operations intuitively.
Initial stages: requirements & planning
Information about your product vision, apps’ features, APIs and other technical details make successful documentation. For the app to perform an action expected from the user, you should also describe how the app would be perceived, and what particular actions the user will take. The more details, the better. By the way, photos, sketches, or wireframes illustrating your requirements would be helpful.
Project documentation for AR app development takes 3 – 10 days.
Here, at AppClues Infotech we would create documentation if you don’t have any or if it’s hard for you to compile it on your own. It’s easy to be more specific and calculate the time and cost baselines to develop the augmented reality app with well-built and accurate documentation.
AR development project estimation lasts 2-5 days. The length of this phase depends on project size and complexity.
AR development estimation
The general development time can vary from several weeks to several months. It can take even a year if the app functionality and 3D content are very complex.
P. S. Development time and prices mentioned corresponding those AppClues Infotech would need to accomplish AR/VR projects.
- If you want to develop a simple AR app with ARkit, it can be created by one developer in just 1-2 weeks. A simple AR solution, where the users can observe a house, simply putting their phone camera on the plain area and walk around the house is the kind of an app that can be implemented quickly if 3D models are ready.
- One more trendy app type is the one containing facial feature recognition. From securing your business and maximizing the value of your digital assets, to transforming your brand experiences — integrating face recognition into a mobile app is truly rewarding. Facial features recognition development has never been easy and can last approximately 1,5 – 2 months.
- The next generation of navigation is indoor/outdoor mapping. With a smartphone in hand and such a solution, it is easy for customers to find their way to a destination, even in an unfamiliar place. An indoor mapping development for a complex venue will last at least 2 – 3 months.
- Users have difficulties in finding and understanding the solution in the long user manual and sometimes they misunderstand the procedures. If there would be a mobile app that aids users to deal with a new product, car, or a coffee machine, so you don’t need a manual, wouldn’t it be awesome? Augmented reality gives a possibility to create an interactive user manual. Object recognition app development of an average-sized item can take 1 to 3 months.
- An architectural visualization or 360 walkthroughs can be created in both, VR and AR modes. In AR tour the potential buyers can explore how the building looks or will look if it is not built yet. Overall, 3D modeling and app development can take up to 6 weeks or more. 360 photo tour can be done in 1-5 days depending on photos quality and quantity.
- The multiplayer role-playing games in augmented or virtual reality are in the mainstream right now. Yet, these are not the easiest. Even a simple multiplayer AR game development can last up to 2 months.
Approximate costs for their development will be as follows:
Simple AR app with ARkit/ARCore without 3D modeling services — starting from $3 500*
- 360 virtual tour — starting from $3,500
- Architectural visualization — starting from $3,500
- Object recognition with computer vision — starting from $6,000
- Facial features recognition app — starting from $6,000
- Indoor/outdoor mapping — starting from $7,000
- AR multiplayer role-playing games – from $19,000
If you have any concerns about the price and time estimation, AppClues Infotech will provide you with all the necessary services and resources required to complete the project.
AR development estimation can take from 2 to 24 hours.
