ARCore is Google’s platform for building and bettering Augmented Reality (AR) experiences, bringing information and content to life at the exact moment it’s useful. It can trigger experiences from real-world images (like bringing a movie poster to life), or allow multiple users to interact with the same AR experience (great for education, gaming, creative expression, and more).

• Reveal information about surroundings as you move.

• Measure surfaces or rooms with your phone's camera.

• Instruct users with step-by-step overlays.

• Create interactive games or experiences.

• Enable user customisation changing colours or parts.

• Hide content in product packaging or posters.

Study up. Production requires a new approach, so arm yourself with technical knowledge.

Understand the environment. The more your app integrates, the more magical it will feel.

Plan for user movement. There is a big difference between table, room, or world scale.

Onboard smoothly. Consider how your app flows, as well as how users move and interact.

Natural object interactions. Let users know when object collision isn’t an intended interaction.

Balance interface design. The phone is the viewport so don’t obscure it with interfaces.
