In possibly the biggest win for ARKit so far, Amazon has added support for viewing items in their store in your home before you purchase them using the camera on your iPhone.

The feature is part of the Amazon app, and AR View is accessed by tapping on the camera icon in the search bar, then tapping AR View and select a product.

The service is available on all devices which support ARKit, ie iPhone 6S upwards with iOS 11.

It is not known yet when Amazon will bring the feature to their Android app, but it is more likely than not given their large user base and existing Android investment.
