"ARCore for a Future Technology"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ARCore?

In The ARCore I like all the features that provide right now in the SDK. I like Image Recognition and Augment the Images and place the Objects on the Images when you scan it! I like the Instant placement feature also. It gives me to place the 3D objects in the real world in any placement. I used it with AR Foundation because I am a Unity Developer so use the AR Foundation and build AR apps for both Android and iOS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

I don't have any dislike for this, just have to know about why ARCore is not providing more features for AR Developers? I think Google needs to work on this SDK more because AR is the future of the next generation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AR Core is a great sdk to start creating AR apps"
3/5

Quick scanning of floor and placement of AR objects is the best. Another great feature is cloud anchoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

It is a hassle to import and make it work correctly with unity. There are a lot of steps and takes a lot of time just to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Indoor navigation (Unity + ARCore)"
5/5
What do you like best about ARCore?

We developed indoor navigation with a local map and event points for the factory. We had very limited deadlines. Everything was developed on the Unity engine. I was very pleased ARCore with its rapid integration. Also, many things such as environment auto-correction and anchors worked very well, significantly reducing development time. One of the big pluses is control. We could easily control the AR session, markers, and all features from SDK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

Throughout the development, we wanted to be able to check the AR sessions immediately in the editor without the need to build all the time. The first time it was breathing a minus. Because we were just starting to work with ARCore and we had to do a lot of tests. Also not a pleasant moment was the loss of tracking. Especially if the room is not enough light or it contains monotonous walls. However, this was not a big stopper, we just showed users a message that the tracking was lost and the user needs to scan the nearest marker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Begin your AR journey with ARCore!"
5/5
What do you like best about ARCore?

One of the best in the current AR framework to use, with an extensive set of features to make a realistic ar app like anchoring for placing objects in 3D world, scaling based on changing environments, and adapting to lighting conditions. Also easy to follow documentation and helping community of folks out there. The documentation is rich in terms of setting up a base for new beginners to follow like listing different design principles and patterns like how to design environments, interact with virtual objects, and defining your interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

One of the problems is its minimum support version for Android and some of the features not consistent for both iOS and Android devices, I hope it is getting quickly to have the same level of features for Android devices as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Use ARCore for indoor navigation"
4/5
What do you like best about ARCore?

ARCore is very simple to use initially, there are some useful examples to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

"Sceneform" is deprecated and there are no alternative solutions in the documentation. Not all smartphones are supported (Vuforia, for example, supports even other smartphones not in the ARCore list). Difficult to use in situations like indoor navigation, for example. No support for standard ARMarkers (like Vuforia does), or for example ARuco marker or any other ARMarkers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
