By using Scene Geometry, developers are able to create a topological map of any space with labels identifying floors, walls, ceilings, windows, doors, and seats.

ARCore developers on Catchar

ARCore SDK is a great way to build your own Augmented Reality apps for Android devices and not only this. SDK is also compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine and iOS. ARCore uses the following capabilities of integrating Augmented Reality content into the real-world surrounding. Motion tracking understands and tracks the phone position in the real world by using a process called simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM.

Environmental understanding allows ARCore to detect different surfaces like the ground, a coffee table or walls. To detect current lighting conditions ARCore uses a method named light estimation. In terms of interaction with AR content users are able to use (x,y) coordinates to change the position of AR content and use taps to change behavior. The mapping of AR content works through oriented and feature points. They help to detect surface angles. Note that surfaces without texture, such as a white wall, may not be detected properly.

ARCore also offers the opportunity to use printed images as triggers. Once a user scans a physical image, Augmented Reality content will pop up. Developers can use Augmented Images to add an additional digital layer to movie posters, billboards, murals or any other physical images. In addition, ARCore also provides sharing features to create collaborative or multiplayer apps for Android and iOS devices. Use the Catchar directory to hire professional developers and start developing your future Android apps based on ARCore SDK.
