This technology is already part of TeamViewer’s enterprise AR solutions and used by numerous companies across all verticals. It leverages cutting-edge AR technology such as Apple’s LiDAR scanner and ARKit, as well as Google’s Depth API within ARCore to realize precise annotation placements in 3D environments. The new app builds on TeamViewer’s successful trajectory in the field of AR-based remote support. All sessions can be recorded, paused for making screenshots, and instantly shared on social media from within the app. Additionally, the app can also be used to create “how-to” video tutorials for any type of activity. Color-coded annotations allow for easy user differentiation and interaction during the experience. AR annotations are permanently attached to real-life objects, even if the device view is momentarily panned away from those objects. The lifeAR app enables mobile-to-mobile group video calls with up to six participants, who can attach a range of AR markers, emojis, text and drawings to the real-world surrounding them, shared and jointly watched live through the camera feed from one of the participants’ phones.

The app can be beneficial in various mobile and on-the-go use cases – from supporting others in hard-to-describe situations to joint shopping experiences or simple social interactions.

The app for iPhones and Android smartphones is bridging the gap between digital conversations with friends and family, and the physical world, by enabling users to interact with each other through location-aware AR annotations.

TeamViewer, a leading global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalization solutions, today introduced a new mobile app – lifeAR – for the consumer market. Video group calls or individual tutorials using real-time Augmented Reality (AR) annotations allow easy problem-solving, decision-making, and fun digital get-togethers
