Has anyone made use of any decent, fun &/or interesting AR Apps (sans goggles) that they can recommend, for using with an iPhone X?

I'm not sure if these Apps could apply to other iPhones. I just remember promotional material specific to the iPhone X on release, so I'm presuming it's the more ideal device for AR, whether you use goggles or not?

I've used the IKEA Place App, which lets you preview furniture in your home, which I found interesting. Not that I shop at IKEA much, but if other stores went this way, I'd definitely make more use of their AR Apps. Even phone manufacturers could use AR to let consumers 'hold' their devices prior to release so we could see how their form factors fit in our hands.

For the last part it would need to scan ur hand on a millimeter precision. Which doesn't work atm with a single lense and for stereo u need a bigger distance between the cameras and a stripe projector. Or the fancy face ID sensor unit but it's on the wrong side of ur phone ;)
