Taking AR to the next level
ARCore by Google is a tool meant to create an augmented reality (AR) experience in the simplest and most convenient ways. It has special features that enable it to track the environment around you using your device’s camera. Tracking is not as simple as just pointing the camera at one angle and expecting ARCore to remember the picture being taken. Instead, its motion tracking very well includes the camera or device’s movements, as well as every small yet important detail it could possibly register in the environment it is trying to capture.
Seamless AR integration
The tool’s meticulous ways of gathering information from the real world allow it to seamlessly integrate AR elements without them looking like a floating sticker or a low-budget chat filter. It lets its users enjoy a natural-looking AR object blending well with the environment. For instance, you can place AR furniture at the corner of your room or AR pet on top of your bed. With ARCore’s motion-tracking feature, you are also given more freedom to move around and view your added AR elements from different angles. Even if you move your device and point the camera in another direction, with ARCore’s help, it will be able to remember the spot where those AR objects are supposed to stay intact so when you go back at it, you will find that it is still there.
ARCore understands the world around you and how things are supposed to work. This is the reason why it is able to realistically integrate AR elements in the real world. At the same time, it gives its users the chance to try and interact with the AR they created. When creating one, you simply need to set trigger points like flat surfaces and unique backgrounds that could trigger your AR to appear.
