Getting StARted with AR Foundation
summary
Unity's AR Foundation is a preview Unity package that wraps ARKit and ARCore, letting teams build cross‑platform AR using AR Session, AR Session Origin and managers for point cloud and plane prefabs; a basic app "takes minutes to set up" by adding those two prefabs and builds. Demo recreates game UI in AR, world tracking persists when looking away and coming back. Limits: 64‑bit only, no multithreaded rendering yet, and features are bounded by the native SDKs.
