App Store redesign looks like less to browse on a single page, which I'm not wild about.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:26:17 PM
Anne Tighe (spelling?) of the App Store now showing us a demo

App releases presented like "stories" in Today mode. Promoting in an article style format...so weird.
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:26:58 PM
Ry Crist 6/5/2017 6:27:09 PM
Agree with Scott -- those huge app promos eat up a lot of real estate in the 'Today' tab. Less developers in the spotlight.
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:27:13 PM
Monument Valley 2 hitting today (yay)

I legit think I'm getting carpal tunnel from these events. I need to start doing hand stretching exercises before these keynotes. haha
Ry Crist 6/5/2017 6:28:29 PM
Guess I should finally take Monument Valley 1 for a spin.
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:28:33 PM
I'm worried I'm going to get more lost in this new App Store

I wonder how many people actually use the App Store to discover new apps. Typically, I only head to the App Store to download apps I already know I want.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:29:56 PM
Phil Schiller is back up
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:29:58 PM
I just want a wider-view look at apps
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:30:11 PM
"That's your first glimpse of an entirely new App Store."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:30:19 PM
And ... Schiller is off and Federighi is back up.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:30:33 PM
"Metal 2 and HEVC are coming to iOS too.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:30:38 PM
"There's more and it starts with machine learning."
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:30:42 PM
Machine Learning Time
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:30:58 PM
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:31:04 PM
"We use it on the iPad for palm rejection when using Apple Pencil. ... seen it in memories."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:31:20 PM
New APIs. Vision API that provides face tracking, facial recognition.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:31:27 PM
Natural Language API
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:31:27 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:31:37 PM
Vision API seems to be for camera-based machine learning
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:31:37 PM
CoreML - what underpins these APIs
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:32:17 PM
"The performance really is incredible. ... iPhone is 6X faster than the Google Pixel and Samsung S8" in terms of recognizing images.
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:32:21 PM
AR!
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:32:23 PM
"Next I want to turn to AR"
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:32:25 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:32:39 PM
Pokemon Go is being shown as an example.
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:32:40 PM
"With multitouch we've really changed how you interact with the screen. And two cameras."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:32:45 PM
ARKit
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:32:49 PM
Demo time for this
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:32:51 PM
ARKit will develop AR apps and tools
James Martin 6/5/2017 6:32:57 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:33:02 PM
You knew Pokemon Go would lead to this...
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:33:04 PM
"We've all seen a lot of carefully edited vision videos on this topic, but in this case I'd like to show you something real."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:33:19 PM
"Here's an iPhone using its camera ... can identify table and can add an object."
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 6:33:31 PM
So you can make it look like there's a virtual cup of coffee on a table
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:33:37 PM
Object placement on table, recognizing surfaces. And keeping objects reasonably in place.
