Google ARCore and motion tracking
Google's ARCore is an augmented reality engine for Android. It provides multiple capabilities including motion tracking on certain Android models. In Unity, to ensure optimal performance, EasyAR Sense defaults to using ARCore's motion tracking functionality instead of its built-in Motion Tracker on ARCore-supported devices.
ARCore supported models and functions
Similar to other motion tracking functions, ARCore requires the device to have at least a camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer, and must be calibrated and certified by Google to operate.
The official list of ARCore-supported models can be found in the ARCore documentation (中文 / English).
Note
Note: On supported devices, the additional Google Play Services for AR app must be installed for ARCore functionality. This app may be pre-installed on some models, while on others users need to install it manually.
Using ARCore in EasyAR
In EasyAR, the actual supported models for ARCore may not fully align with the official list, primarily because some officially listed models exhibit abnormal ARCore performance in real-world testing. You can detect these problematic devices using the isAvailable method of ARCoreCameraDevice and disable ARCore accordingly.
Besides motion tracking, ARCore supports environmental understanding, light estimation, and other features. When using EasyAR's motion tracking, only ARCore's motion tracking functionality is utilized; other features are not supported.
The following is a list of models with known ARCore performance issues. These devices will return False when checking ARCore availability via isAvailable.
