Developers, using Apple’s upcoming ARKit API,  have been creating some impressive augmented reality apps and games. The latest to join the bandwagon is Chicago based TRIXI Studios!

The video game company has created an app that combines augmented reality with real life effortlessly. The app, which is not publicly available yet, illustrates the power of Apple’s augmented reality framework. Using Apple’s ARKit, the app gives iOS developers a relatively easy way to weave AR content into their apps without the need to make an engine from scratch.

The company released a video in which they seamlessly integrate augmented reality with real life, transforming dancing kids and the room into animated pencil sketches as they move into the drawn areas of the image. The founder of TRIXI, Chip Sineni told The Verge, “When ARKit came along, we were very excited by the idea that just ‘normal’ phones could do such great AR, so it seemed like the perfect situation to stress test what ARKit could do.

The Norwegian band A-Ha, formed in Oslo in 1982, released their ‘Take On Me’ video in 1985. It integrates the real world with the comic world using a combination pencil sketch animation and live action. The original video took months to make because of the thousand hand drawn sketches that were applied to a live action shoot with rotoscoping, in which live action footage is traced over frame by frame to give the characters realistic movements. TRIXI can complete the process in just a couple of days. Previously Apple’s ARKit was used to created only augmented bar charts, fidget spinners and virtual pets. This video takes the technology to a whole other level. 

 

 The video, according to the team, was possible with purchases from Unity 3D’s Asset Stores, using GameFlow for visual scripting and Maximo for characters and animations. Finally, artificial intelligence assets were used to give the video logic. Founder Sineni added,“It is crazy how asset stores have democratized code and art for game making, that anyone can do this so quickly now.

New Instagram Features Let Users Customize Profiles and Share Quietly

Instagram Grid

Instagram is rolling out two major features in June 2025 that promise to give users unprecedented creative control and privacy: grid rearranging and silent posting. The long-awaited grid rearranging tool allows users to freely drag and drop posts anywhere on their profile grid, breaking away from the traditional chronological order. This means users can now curate their profiles for a more visually appealing or thematic presentation, without the hassle of deleting and reposting content—an update especially welcomed by brands, creators, and anyone meticulous about their digital aesthetic.


In tandem, Instagram is introducing the “Post quietly to profile” feature, which lets users add photos and videos to their grid without notifying followers or pushing the content to their feeds. This silent posting option is ideal for those who want to document moments privately, experiment with new content, or maintain a cohesive grid without spamming their audience. It’s designed to reduce the pressure of public sharing, making Instagram a more comfortable space for personal expression and experimentation.

 

These updates reflect Instagram’s commitment to user empowerment and flexibility, responding directly to years of feedback. As Instagram head Adam Mosseri stated, the goal is to help users “create and share without added pressure,” giving them more freedom over how their content appears and how they engage with their audience.
