**Exploring the World of Augmented Reality (AR) with the iPad Pro and Lidar Scanner**

As a maker and creator, having access to advanced technology can open up a world of possibilities. With the recent release of the 20/20 iPad Pro, individuals have been excited to explore the capabilities of this device, particularly in relation to augmented reality (AR). The inclusion of a lidar scanner is a significant feature that sets this device apart from others on the market. While some may be thinking about using it for portrait photography, we believe that this technology is better suited for creating immersive AR experiences.

**Apple's Reality Composer and Adobe's Arrow App**

One of the tools available to creators with the 20/20 iPad Pro is Apple's Reality Composer. This app allows users to create and place AR objects in augmented reality, providing a versatile platform for building custom experiences. Additionally, Adobe has released its Arrow app, which offers a user-friendly interface for creating immersive AR content. Both of these tools demonstrate the potential for the 20/20 iPad Pro to become a go-to device for those looking to get into AR before it becomes mainstream.

**The Power of Entertainment**

The 20/20 iPad Pro's large 12.9-inch screen and excellent speakers make it an ideal device for entertainment. Whether you're watching Hulu, Disney+, or YouTube, the experience is enhanced by the device's size and sound quality. The iPad Mini 5, on the other hand, is still a great choice for gaming and relaxation, but the 20/20 Pro offers a more immersive experience.

**Apple's Ecosystem Apps**

Some of the apps that make the 20/20 iPad Pro worth using are not just third-party applications, but also Apple's own zone experiences. For instance, when using Sidecar, which allows for seamless integration between your Mac and iPad, you can take screenshots with your Apple Pencil and mark them up with ease. This feature is particularly useful for marking up videos or other content. Airdrop is another app that benefits from this technology, making it a lifesaver for those who frequently swap files between devices.

**Safari: Desktop-Class Browsing**

One of the most significant upgrades in recent years has been the development of Safari on the iPad Pro. This browser now offers a desktop-class experience, making it easier to browse and work online without compromise. The addition of trackpad support and mouse functionality takes this even further, providing a seamless transition between devices.

**Paperlike: An Accessory for Apple Pencil Users**

For those who plan to use their 20/20 iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, Paperlike is an excellent accessory option. This paper-like cover offers resistance that makes it easier to write and draw without smudging or fading. It also reduces glare and fingerprints, making the experience more comfortable and enjoyable. When you order a Paperlike, you'll receive two covers plus application accessories, along with free worldwide shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

**Conclusion**

The 20/20 iPad Pro offers a wealth of opportunities for creators and individuals looking to explore augmented reality. With Apple's Reality Composer and Adobe's Arrow app, the device is well-equipped for building immersive AR experiences. When paired with the excellent entertainment options available, the iPad Pro becomes an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve in terms of technology. As always, be sure to check out daily tech afterparty, Apple hype, Twitter, and Instagram for more information on new releases and upcoming events.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday's video is sponsored by the new paper-like 2.0 which makes writing or drawing with any Apple pencil on any iPad feel more like paper hey it's Chris and here's a shocker I've been loving my twelve point nine inch 20/20 iPad pro who would have guessed that but look in this video I want to share with you guys some of the great Pro apps that I have found these for from me I consider them pro with my workflow and helping me get work done that I found that have been making my 20/20 iPad pro experience phenomenal so I've made this video before I like a year ago and this is kind of a follow-up that one was really popular got over 800,000 views and it's still climbing I'll link it up down below if you're new around here because it has some great suggestions but some things have changed there are new apps that I'm using and there are some apps that I'm not using anymore and so I want to kind of go through all of that another thing that's different in this video from the one I did a year ago is that I'd reached out on Twitter and I said hey guys tell me some of your favorite Pro apps for the iPad pro and even if I don't cover all of them I'm gonna link some of those up down below so you have a whole list to explore now in the previous version of this video here's what I said so what makes an app particularly suited to the iPad pro well probably some combination of utilizing the Apple pencil requiring more processing power or making great use of this screen well the second gen apple pencil with its always charged and never lost magnetic connection is still the best Apple pencil experience there is and I still haven't personally come across any app that can push this processor yes even the a 12 Z to its limit and yeah the twelve point nine inch still has the biggest best screen of any iPad which is arguably the best for writing and drawing for multitasking because you can seriously fit a ton more than you can on the 11 inch and even for use as an external display for your Mac using sidecar plus since the last time I made this video we now have trackpad and mouse support on iPads and has just made a world of difference it's taken the iPad which I already love just to a whole new level I loved it before I was basically addicted to the iPad but now it's just it's ridiculous Oh in that light our scanner that's new and I've got an app for that that I'm gonna be talking about later as well now in the last video I specifically mentioned procreate for sketching darkroom for raw photo editing affinity photo as a Photoshop replacement and those are all still great if you're new to the iPad or iPad pro go check them out I'll link all this stuff up down below but there are some apps that I'm no longer using from the last video like I'm done with cinemagraph pro it just costs too much for doing so little and while luma fusion seems to be very pro in some ways it just lacks several Pro features that I need so I feel like I might as well just use iMovie for editing videos on the iPad at this point so here's my 20/20 iPad pros current home screen and let me just pick out a few of the apps that I depend on day in and day out for my business to tell you guys about let's start with the widgets that's important I still keep my shortcuts app on deck to create new workflows and yes I still have that earpods Pro shortcut right at the top for one tap pairing everyone keeps asking about this calendar widget from other videos so I might as well just mention it really quickly it's Cal Z and yeah it's great to have that on the home screen and then of course I've also got the fantastical calendar widget loaded up and traditionally I'm really not a big calendar guy but lately the team has moved into calendars pretty heavily and I've just been living inside fantastical on all platforms because it's so much better than Apple's calendar app of course the drafts widget is a favorite of mine because it lets me jump right in to writing and I think that's enough of the widget talk let's get into the big apps starting with work apps PDF Expert is a boring app that I use all the time as critical is crucial to my workflow to running my business I didn't mention it last time because it's boys a PDF thing right but look the reality is I just use it yesterday for communicating with my tax guy with my accountant for signing electronically my tax stuff sending it off and use you know signing contracts like my letter of engagement with our accounting firm it's used for signing contracts all the time now if we're talking about Pro Apps I think we have to mention a VNC and the one that I like is called screens for iPad and it's really simple it just lets me control my Mac when I'm not at my Mac or around my Mac so if this crazy self-isolation time ever ends and I'm at the coffee shop again or I'm traveling on a trip and I need to access something or control something or do something on my Mac then I like to do that with screens okay what I like is that it's really secure and it's just honestly it's like sitting there in front of your Mac and you can control it with a mouse now it works really good with the new trackpad support so it's just a very full-featured VNC and I like the design something else that's a new app for me since the last video that's really helping me take advantage of the iPad hardware specifically its new microphones podcast quality microphones is ferrite Pro so I did get the pro version that's what I've been using and I've edited some podcast some of the daily tech afterparty episodes on ferrite Pro and it's really fun it's totally different than editing it on the Mac I love using the Apple pencil to just highlight some stuff and it deletes it's really cool and then all the settings I have to give a shout out to Renee Ritchie for putting me on to this in the first place because there's a limiter so you can get rid of audio Peaks really easily and you can customize the controls you can even customize what the DoubleTap does on the Apple pencil it's just really cool both the quality of the iPad mics and the quality of the recording using ferrite and it's settings they've just been stellar phenomenal I've gotten really good feedback from people I have to mention filmic Pro here because as you might know I do do some filming dudu Chandler would like that on the iPad pro on this one in fact I filmed some of the iPad pro review this year on this iPad pro the talking head shot so I'll link it up down below if you missed it but film approaches unlocks the best footage that you can get out of your iOS device your iPhone or your iPad and kind of along with that also a filmic remote lets me use my nice big iPad screen as a remote to see what I'm filming when I'm filming with an iPhone which is great it's the perfect complement now yes I did mention procreate for doing sketches love procreate but I've been getting kind of into another sketching out called sketches Pro it's number one the tools are just great I like the tools a lot I was a graphic design major so somewhere in deep inside ooh some art skills I wouldn't call myself like an amazing artist but I do really like the tools here but I really like the sound effects they've added some sound effects that if you use in conjunction with the paper like the sponsor of this video you really start to get this crazy experience of like using a real piece of paper I just like it for that extra immersion there's a new app out that's for animation is called loom and it's perfect for the iPad and particularly the 12 point 9 inch iPad pro and it seriously makes animation easy and accessible and doable by anybody you don't have to be an animator to animate stuff using loom it's one of my favorite new apps honestly now i've extensively covered and given my opinion on good notes and notability i made a couple of videos and I'll link them up down below for you to check out I'll just say I normally end up preferring notability it just barely edges out good notes for me but that's definitely a pro app for a lot of people one of those so it's something to keep in mind now the pro apps that I use as a content creator might be very different than other types of Pro apps and pro jobs and workflows out there so I just wanna mention a few others that are pretty Pro that I wouldn't use but that other people would and that would really harness the power of the iPad pro one for sure is more folio trays this is an architecture app it's a CAD app and it's also meant to be very accessible is kind of like architecture for everyone one thing that seems cool about it is that you can draw on top of things like PDFs and kind of sketch over that so you don't have to just start from scratch another very powerful and professional app that you can use on the iPad pro is called shape or 3d now it actually describes itself as the world's leading 3d design app for iPad and it says that it has industry-leading quality and power industry-leading quality and power on your iPad that sounds pretty good now let's talk a little bit about AR and AR design more specifically because we have this lidar scanner and people like what am I gonna do with that I can't use it for portrait photography even Apple hasn't unlocked that maybe they won't maybe they'll save that for the iPhone 12 I don't know but you can use this iPad and I really think this is what the lidar is for right now as a maker as creator because you can create AR scenes and objects right now so there's reality Composer from Apple which will let you create AR objects and place them in augmented reality and then there's also Adobe's arrow app which is very immersive and yet pretty user friendly you could easily pick this up in a day half a day a couple hours and can create just really cool immersive AR experiences so this is your chance if you want to get in on AR before its mainstream you want to build up a new business or something it's a are related before Apple glasses hit in a couple of years this is your chance this is the time and these are some of the tools that you can use specifically with the 20/20 iPad pro now because the iPad pro has such great speakers and because a twelve point nine inch has such a great large screen I've got Hulu I've got Disney plus I've got YouTube obviously and some other entertainment apps on here because it's just such a great entertainment experience definitely one of my favorite ways to get my Star Wars fix and even though I mostly prefer gaming on the iPad Mini five because it's so easy to hold you can still catch me playing some fortnight or some endless archery if I want to relax a little bit more or even my favorite game ever on iOS which is bad LAN brawl on the twelve point nine inch iPad pro now some of the apps that make the iPad pro worth using and owning and buying they're not just third-party apps right some of them are just Apple zone apps and experiences so for instance when I'm running sidecar I love being able to take a screenshot of my Mac screen with my Apple pencil using that drag up from the corner shortcut and then mark it up with the Apple pencil and then send it over to my Mac cuz I can easily take a screenshot with my Mac but then I can't just easily use my Apple pencil to mark it up and stuff and I've used this for marking stuff up in videos and stuff in recent weeks it just works better when I'm using the Mac and the iPad in conjunction in sidecar and then you just have things like airdrop and if you're doing pro things and you're relying on this for work airdrop is just a lifesaver and a time saver I mean I'm always swapping files between my iPad pro and my macbook pro or my iPhone Pro and my Pro or my wife's computer you name it and then just something as simple as Safari the web browser now that we have an actual desktop class browsing experience for the most part on the iPad pro since last year that in combination with the new trackpad and mouse support man it's like a dream come true if you own an iPad or you're looking to get one soon then check out today's sponsor paper like now in the second version which is an accessory that makes it feel and sound more like you're using real paper when you're working with an Apple pencil one of my favorite things about the new paper like is that it's much clearer to watch movies or view content through it when you're not writing or drawing paper like actually gives you more control with your Apple pencil thanks to that paper like resistance that it offers and yes it really makes a difference plus it reduces glare and finger prints which who doesn't want that paper likes great for anyone who wants to use apps like Apple notes or notability or procreate or affinity photo among many others when you place an order you're gonna get two paper like covers plus application accessories along with free worldwide shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee you can place a paper like to point out order using a link down in the description alright so I think that's gonna do
