Ispoke about Augmented Reality (AR) as a new battleground between technology giants a few months ago, analyzing the strategies of Apple, Facebook and Google. The latter made a further move yesterday, releasing the preview of ARCore . It is a set of tools, frameworks and APIs that developers can use to speed up the development of Augmented Reality applications. In practice, ARCore ( here are some examples ) is in direct contrast with Apple's ARKit, released in June and already widely used to create hundreds of demos visible on the MadewithARKit account . Google, with “Project Tango,” had already developed a set of technologies to enable Augmented Reality on high-end mobile devices, but the requirements it required to run would not allow it to scale.
ARCore, born from the experience acquired with Tango, is able to Canada Phone Number run on all Android 7.0 Nougat and later systems. The first declared objective, between now and winter when it comes out of the preview phase, is 100 million smartphones. ARCore, which leverages Java/OpenGL, Unity and Unreal, is based on three basic components: – Motion tracking: thanks to the ARCore camera it determines both the position and orientation of the moving mobile phone. In this way it allows virtual objects to adapt coherently with the observation point; – Environmental understanding: it is the ability to understand the surrounding environment, detecting horizontal surfaces; – Light estimation: i.e. the detection of ambient light, to allow virtual objects to adapt to existing light and therefore appear realistic.
To speed up the creation of three-dimensional objects, Google provides Blocks , while a particular version of the Chromium browser has been released to view the projects created. Furthermore, it seems it is also possible to "port" projects made with ARKit and run them on ARCore. The applications of Augmented Reality can be varied, from the most playful to the most useful (in the educational, training and information fields). The first step is to give developers the tools to build complex applications quickly. In this Apple seems to have a few months' advantage and a software platform that is not as fragmented as that of Android. Facebook, in the absence of its own operating system, finds itself having to develop a lateral attack strategy, being able to count only on the control of its application, even if it is the most downloaded in the world.
