ARKit 2.0 is expected to make its debut at WWDC. We are currently at ARKit 1.5, so seeing version 2.0 won't be too much of a surprise. ARKit 2.0 will likely allow for "multiplayer AR" [Source: Reuters]. Basically, it lets two users see the same object when they point their iPhones at the same spot. Keep in mind, that you'd be able to have both people move around and view the object from their own angles and the object would render appropriately on their screens. ARKit has been used in more apps than it may seem. A lot of apps use ARKit in subtle ways, like App in the Air, which uses it to display a globe of where you've flown and traveled in front of you. Imagine where we could eventually get a function that would let us share things like this in a universal app. For example, I could have App in the Air and "project" my globe onto a table and another person would use something like the stock Camera app to view it. I would like to see things go in that direction.
