EasyAR Sparse Spatial Map vs ARKit/ARCore Differences
The EasyAR Sparse Spatial Map is used to scan a small area (room-level) around the user, build a visual map, and export it. It can be used for real-time sharing between multiple devices, enabling multi-user interaction, persistence, and other functionalities. Similar solutions include ARKit's ARWorldMap and ARCore's Cloud Anchors.
- ARWorldMap supports serializing the scanned scene and persistent relocation, enabling persistent and multi-user shared experiences on the iOS platform.
- Cloud Anchors upload user-scanned environmental data to Google Cloud, achieving multi-user shared AR experiences through relocation.
EasyAR Sparse Spatial Map implements offline, cross-platform, and highly flexible map management, making it more suitable for the following scenarios:
- Scenarios requiring completely offline operation (factory areas, basements, exhibition halls without internet).
- Needing to share the same map across multiple platforms like iOS/Android.
- Developers wanting full control over the map data.
Note
If the area to be scanned and reconstructed exceeds 100 square meters or the scene experiences significant changes in lighting or seasonal conditions, it is recommended to upgrade to the EasyAR Mega functionality.
