Build location-based augmented reality with ARCore geospatial API
summary
ARCore’s new ARCore Geospatial API uses Google’s visual positioning service (VPS) and Street View-derived 3D models (10 million miles of Street View, 36 million sq miles of satellite imagery, coverage in 93 countries) to localize a phone to precise position and heading in under a second using TPUs, improving on ~5–10 m GPS error. The API creates anchors by latitude/longitude/altitude (terrain anchors planned), is production-proven powering AR Live View, and ships now for Android and iOS — examples include Balloon Pop and Pocket Garden.
