30 new Android phones join the list that support ARCore
ARCore is a software development kit developed by Google to help create augmented reality (AR) apps to be built. There are three technologies used. One allows your phone to track its position relative to the rest of the world. The phone can also understand the size and location of flat horizontal services like a coffee table or the ground, and estimate the current lighting conditions of the environment.
Not only does ARCore help developers create AR apps, it also makes sure that all Android users have the same experience when using AR across a range of different devices. As a result, Google checks to make sure that phones up for ARCore certification have cameras, motion sensors, and a CPU that live up to expectations. Additionally, a certified ARCore handset must have access to and work properly with Google's 3D Animal library in Search and Playground.
ARCore is also known as Google Play Services for AR
