I seek your knowledge! So my believes-I’m-awake-when-really-asleep brain though of an app I could learn to make. A visualizer app that has a load of effects for free, then add an extra pack for a buck or two to get even more awesome, modifiable visualizers. Since I have a dev copy of Xcode, I want to believe this is possible I Swift, yes?
Second, looking at ARKit, I want to think I could put this out in the real world and add things like that, but I might be crazy
Hi JAY jones,
Could you specify what you mean by visualizer? Is this a 3-D effects generator that operates like a kaleidoscope; the user picks a few elements and the app shuffles them arbitrarily. Or do you mean a visualizer that reacts to music? Both of those apps could use the same display technology (for rendering the visualizations) but the input to the visualization engine would be very different for both of those apps. You can use SceneKit to make the 3D objects involved in such a visualization.
It seems to me that ARKit is made to play very nicely with SceneKit, so yes you would be able to do that as well, but right now many developers are having issues with the integration of the two, using the beta versions of ARKit and SceneKit.
It's great to dream of great things.
Even more if getting them done is really a challenge.
A simple advice when you create your app: what is the user problem or dream you want to address that is not already addressed by a lot of apps ? Think of yourself: what unique function would you love to get in your app ?
Then, you'll look wheter some people are ready first to use your app then to pay a few b ucks for it.
Good luck.

I basically would want a visualizer similar to an iTunes viz. And it would be great if the person can display it at parties, business owners could show it to customers/clients, DJs can use it at clubs, and even use the AR aspect to put the patrons in the visualizer so that they can share to social.
