AUGMENTED REALITY FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE WITH ARCORE
summary
Overview of what actually works: ARCore delivers 6‑DOF motion tracking fused from IMU and camera at ~100 Hz to avoid drift versus beacon/Wi‑Fi updates at ~0.5–2 Hz, environment understanding with plane detection and lighting estimation, and image recognition that supports a database up to 1000 images and tracking ~20 concurrently. New features include Cloud Anchors for cross‑device (Android/iOS) shared anchors via a hosted feature blob, and Sceneform plus emulator, Poly and Resonance Audio tooling so real multiuser apps and debugging workflows actually run.
