Kydy is an AR Q&A app that sends talking AR creatures (Kydies) directly to your friends' hands. Each Kydy has a different voice. iMessage extension coming soon.
Very cool. It's like Apple's Animojis but with spatial awareness i.e. in the real world!
On that note, reminds me of Pokemon GO... Not that we should encourage people to walk around with their phones out constantly, but how cool would it be to leave messages for people in certain places (i.e. leave a shark in the kitchen to tell your roommate/spouse/kid(s) something)?
@codyfitzpatrick Hey Cody! thank you for your insight! Yeah i think localization is a pretty awesome thing to integrate - and to be honest with you we're not sure what the best way for us is yet! But sticking the shark/animoji somewhere to be unlocked is a great concept - thanks for the idea!

Why are you collecting biometric information like palm print? How is it stored and when is it destroyed.
@n_events Hi! We don't collect palm print so unfortunately I don't know what you're referring to. Also, I think it would be technically challenging to collect palm print data for us since we can't see any visual data regarding your hand or you (unless you share it on social media, in which case anyone can see it) and extracting something as detailed as palm print through a couple seconds of moving phone camera footage would be - well, if we could do that I think we could transform an industry or two!

Trust me people. It opens the new era of messaging.
Hey Hunters! I'm Rudy from Kydy.
Kydy started out as an idea for AR tattoos from a design sprint.
Since then it evolved into a full-fledged app capable of sending AR creatures that talk!
We felt most of the AR experiences were tied to geographical locations and wanted to create something that would allow people to receive and send using AR. And adding voices to the equation seemed exciting to us. But the best way to figure out how we should move forward is through the feedback of the PH community. Please let us know your thoughts!
Thanks,
Rudy
There are very few "useful" applications running ARKit, and I think Kydy is definitely a rare exception. Try it out for yourself, it's surprisingly charming and fun!
Pros:
A cute way to message your friends using augmented reality
Cons:
There is a bit of latency before the characters load.
Hey Juan! Thanks for the review! We are open to suggestions for new Kydies! Is there something you want to see come alive on your hand? :)

An adorable friendly character will be following your talk in their own way! AR messenger was really fresh to me!
Hopes:
Hope Kydy can also show us the texts of the conversation. (Can't use in the office, cuz it's so...quite)
