Building a Cross-platform Runtime for AR Experiences
summary
Meta’s AR engine is a cross‑platform runtime plus renderer that already powers all AR across the apps family, serving 600 million users, 400,000 creators and over 1 million experiences. It combines people and world tracking, a programmable render pipeline and gallery picker, uses server‑side optimization (optimization, compression, packaging) and ahead‑of‑time hardware estimation to pick ML model precision, and exposes a plugin‑based runtime so apps load only needed capabilities. Tracking and asset loading remain the biggest runtime costs.
