ARCore

ARCore is Google’s augmented reality SDK offering cross-platform APIs to build new immersive experiences on Android, iOS, Unity, and Web. Transform the way people play, shop, learn, create, and experience the world together through contextual understanding about people, places, and things.

ARCore fundamentals

ARCore provides fundamental tools to help you build your augmented reality experiences, including:

Motion tracking, which shows positions relative to the world
Anchors, which ensures tracking of an object’s position over time
Environmental understanding, which detects the size and location of all types of surfaces
Depth understanding, which measures the distance between surfaces from a given point
Light estimation, which provides information about the average intensity and color correction of the environment

“The whole team was incredibly enthusiastic about trying the Geospatial API. We [had] the idea for a world scale alien invasion game for more than 3 years and we were waiting for the right tech to become available to finally start making it a reality… Augmented Reality. And when we got Geospatial and started checking it the results exceeded our wildest expectations greatly!"
