AR MeasureKit app replaces the need for a manual measuring tape by mapping spaces, such as rooms in your house, and then lets you draw lines between objects to get a reading on the distance between them. Use it to plan for rugs, to hang things on the wall, or arrange a room.

2) IKEA Place AR app

Category: Home.
Price: Free.
In-App Purchases: No.
Another great Arkit Apple app is IKEA Place AR app. The hardest thing about shopping for furniture is imaging how a piece fits in your home. IKEA place helps you take the guesswork out of home decorating by dropping 3D models of IKEA products into images of your rooms.
Scan a room so the app understands what's in it. Then browse the in-app IKEA catalog to find the furniture you're interested in. Select the item and it appears in your room, where you can move it around, put it in the foreground or background, and take photos of the results.

3) Conduct AR!

The controls are simple; just tap a train to start or stop it, tap a track to switch it. The environment and tracks build themselves as you progress through the game, letting you focus on the train. The AR features are shown off to great effect when you move around the environments.

4) The Machines

5) NBA AR

6) Stack AR

Price: Free
In-App Purchases: Yes
A a fun block-stacking game that will give you a good sense of how AR makes even simple games a little bit cooler.
Choose a flat surface to play on and then blocks start flying onto it. Touch a block as it covers the one below to stack them. Watch out, though: if the placement isn't exact, part of the top block is lopped off, leaving you a smaller target for the next block. Repeat the process until you've got a tower of super-thin blocks. An in-app purchase removes ads.

7) Thomas & Friends Minis

9) Holo

12) InkHunter AR

Simply draw a basic smiley face on your body for the app to anchor to and then project a library of included tattoos, and your own sketches or photos, onto it. Share the results and get your friends' and family's take, too.
