ARCore & SMART
Launched in August 2017, ARCore is Google’s platform for building augmented reality apps on Android. ARCore’s motion tracking allows the phone to understand and track its position relative to the world and place 3D models in the scene. With SMART, Wikitude extends the accessibility of markerless AR to more than 93% of the overall Android devices’ market.
ARKit & SMART
ARKit’s World Tracking, enables the creation of augmented reality experiences that allow a user to explore digital content in the world around them. ARKit uses Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) and plane detection to track the position of the device in space in real time. SMART ensures the delivery of SLAM-based AR experiences on a wide range of iOS devices reaching more than 90% of the market.
