Hello ARCore
summary
ARCore is a beta Android SDK that combines motion tracking, environmental understanding and light estimation to place and light 3D models realistically; it runs today on a handful of Nougat phones (Pixel family and Galaxy S8) and requires an ARCore service APK. Demos use Unity (or native Android/OpenGL, Unreal, experimental Three.js) to render the point cloud, detect horizontal anchors/planes, spawn kittens that face the camera, and adapt shaders to scene light. Stability is early — plane re‑localization works but tracking can feel clunky and battery and performance cost are noticeable.
