Gfycat looks to be a hub of content for AR experience development
Summary
Gfycat has more than 130 million monthly active users and in particular gears its tools toward creators, and this could be another step in helping those creators get their content out to the masses as activity in augmented reality starts to continue to pick up.It’s certainly not that pretty right now, but these small agreements can sometimes be the start of increasingly robust toolsets for developers.But at the same time, it does start to offer a kind of pseudo-home for creators that are looking to crack into AR as well as also offering developers looking to build games or other apps and opportunity to have easy access to content to get started.All this might be completely moot if Apple and others roll out an increasingly simple interface for AR app development like more robust tools in ARkit, where developers would just sidestep platforms like Metaverse in order to just build their own interfaces.We’ve already talked about how a bunch of these major platforms are continuing to grow with Giphy saying it has 300 million daily active users.
