According to leaked iOS 14 code, Apple is working on a new augmented reality app called Gobi. The program will be tied to tags resembling a QR code. According to unconfirmed reports, Apple is already testing the feature in the Starbucks coffee chain and Apple Stores.
The principle of the application is the ability to obtain detailed information about the product on the screen of electronic devices. For example, while in the Apple Store, users will be able to view data about the devices and products offered, see prices and compare the characteristics of products that interest them.
It is reported that Apple intends to provide the SDK and API to third parties so that they can develop their own tag identifiers that can be supported by the new application. It is not yet known for certain whether the API will be publicly available or distributed under certain conditions.
