I bought into the Apple ecosystem in part because of Airtags which have among the most practical and boring implementations of AR in existence. I use subtle filters in snap camera during interviews to improve my appearance as well despite it being a "gimmick".

Show me a functioning example that actually exists right now for navigation please
