Is this all we know? I’ve emailed them a few times on where to download the latest run-time but haven’t heard back. I want to integrate this into our project but not if we don’t know what’s happening with them obviously…

1. Has the styles feature been released yet?
2. what’s the latest plugin version? I got the 4.22 but not sure if there was an update, looks like I got end of July I think.

Hope they’re still around, I like their plugin and the styles feature looks awesome

Apple buys UK visual effects company iKinema

*In recent years, Apple has made several small acquisitions of AR companies to build or bolster its ARKit platform, including Metaio, Flyby Media, Emotient and Faceshift, as well as several start-ups that could provide components for a future AR headset, such as Akonia Holographics, Vrvana and SensoMotoric Instruments.

iKinema might help iPhone app developers to build more sophisticated games or allow Apple to add arms and legs to its animated emoji faces, which were introduced alongside the iPhone X in 2017.

Apple news site MacRumors was first to report the possibility of an acquisition, after noticing updates to UK regulatory filings that linked iKinema with Apple. Companies House filings also show that iKinema had 20 employees as of last year.

The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.*
