12. Imagine AR
If you’re not familiar with Augmented Reality (AR), it’s a technology that modifies the view of the real world and overlays computer graphics on top of it (see the video below to see AR in action). Imagine AR produces programs like that. In one of the demos, I saw how a cardboard turned into a house on the mobile screen while allowing the user to explore the inside of the house, change its wall colors, and view the details of the different pieces of furniture inside.
11. I Am Cardboard PH
If you’re tech-savvy, you’ve probably seen one of those headsets that people use to immerse in a computer-generated environment. I Am Cardboard PH makes a lot of those headsets in different styles and designs.
For the ones who always run out of parking space:
10. Fetch
Do you love how ride-sharing apps lessen your worries about parking but hate that you can’t use your own car? Fetch is the answer to that problem. It is an app that offers valet parking service so you can bring your car without worrying where to park. Just submit your pick-up point and a valet attendant will meet with you.
