What do you like best about ARCore?

Google provides a range of developer tools, documentation, and resources to support the creation of AR experiences using ARCore. This includes libraries, APIs, sample code, and development guidelines that help streamline the AR app development process and enable developers to unleash their creativity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

ARCore, like many augmented reality platforms, relies on collecting and processing user data, including camera inputs and sensor readings, to enable AR experiences. This data collection may raise privacy concerns for some users. It's essential for developers to handle user data responsibly and transparently, complying with privacy regulations and providing clear information about data usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ARCore solving and how is that benefiting you?

ARCore can enhance training and education by providing interactive and immersive learning experiences. For example, it can overlay virtual objects, animations, or simulations onto real-world environments to teach complex concepts, practical skills, or safety procedures. This enables hands-on learning and improves knowledge retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like is the integration with the other software like Unity. Creating thing is very easy with Google AR. Motion tracking, Environmental understanding is super cool feature of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In starting it is taking time for plane or surface detection also, scanning large-scale virtual objects sometimes slows down things. I think Human body detection is not that great as it can improve more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ARCore?

The plane, feature point and environmental light estimation features are great out the box for fast-tracking basic AR experiences.

Developer samples for Unity game engine have been very useful also for quick iterative development of AR experiences and apps

Image tracking is reliable and easy to set up for image tracking based AR experiences

Facial tracking is reliable and robust using the Augmented Faces features to track a user's face using smartphone cameras Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ARCore?

ARCore feature sets are behind ARKit, where ARkit has capability for human occlusion, human body tracking and also ARCore does not support Vulkan rendering which has limited our capacity to use it on projects that would benefit from Vulkan. There needs to be more standardization of ARCore/ARKit features for us developers as this holds back the whole AR development as a whole.

Google Mediapipe looks to be a better replacement for ARCore long-term, I don't get why Mediapipe and ARCore aren't merged. If we could unlock features like ARcore on more devices which are not supported by ARCore it would benefit development and usability of our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ARCore:

Consider whether you need ARCore-specific features or AR standard features that are available across ARCore/ARKit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ARCore solving and how is that benefiting you?

Consumer AR-app functionality on a wide range of Android devices - now ARcore is well established as the standard for Android AR.

Environment lighting and depth estimation in the newest release have unlocked better grounding of 3d objects in AR for our app users

Any experience where we rely on an image, a point in the user's space or environmental understanding to ground and realize the user experience within a user's space.

Facial recognition through ARCore has helped us make apps for cosmetic and accessory try-ons by augmenting 3d and 2d content over the user's face or body. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used ARCore for displaying big heavy machinery to its original scale in exhibitions so companies doesn't need to transport their products to every exhibition.
