Early explorations with ARCore 1
We recently launched ARCore 1.0 to give developers the ability to build powerful
augmented reality apps that make your phone’s camera smarter.
It works on over 100 million Android devices, on more than a dozen different
device models, so now more people can use AR to interact with the
world in inspiring new ways.While it’s only been a few weeks since
launch, developers are already publishing new ARCore experiences
on Google Play, across gaming, shopping and home, and creativity.
GamingFor gaming, AR weaves the action right into the world around you, making
the experience more immersive and unlocking a whole new way to play.
Here are new titles built with ARCore:
My Tamagotchi Forever
BANDAI NAMCO has released “My Tamagotchi Forever,” an experience
in which players can raise Tamagotchi characters while building
Tamatown, a virtual town you can play in the real world.
Immerse yourself in the zombie apocalypse! Your mission, should you choose to accept
it, is to defend your surroundings by fighting zombies in real-world environments.
Walking Dead Our World is a great example of how to use Google Maps
API and ARCore together to build a location-based AR game. It’s currently in
pre-registration on Google Play, with a broader release planned soon.
TendAR
emotions. The game was created by combining AARCore with Google Cloud APIs, which providescomputer vision and object recognition.
You can read more about how they created the experience in this case study.
TendAR will be available to download starting in July 2018.
Shopping & HomeAugmented reality can bring anything into your space, which helps when you ’re tryingto understand the size and scale of things before you buy or ship them. Here are a few experiences built by our retail partners to aid you in making smarter decisions:
Pottery Barn 360 Room View
With Pottery Barn’s AR app, you can view furniture in your room to see how it pairs with your existing pieces, change the color and fabric of furniture before deciding which looks best, and can purchase what you’ve picked out directly from the app.
eBayeBay is using AR to solve a specific challenge facing their community of
sellers: what size shipping containers needed to send that product? With the
“Which Box” feature in eBay’s app, sellers can visualize shipping boxes to determine
which container size they need to send any product.
Sotheby’s Curate, Stream If you’re shopping for a new home or needhelp to maintain yours, AR can also come in handy. With ARCore, Sotheby’s is changing the way people stage furniture in the real estate world and the Stream app connects customers with professionals to solve household maintenance requests. CreativityOver the last few months, we’ve been tinkering with experiments that show how Now, we’re inviting more people to experiment with this
technology through an app that lets you make
simple drawings in AR, and then share your creation with a
short video. The caveat: it’s “Just a Line.”
We’re open sourcing the core code of the app so developers can use it as a
starting point for their own ARCore projects, and we’re excited to see what people create with Just a Line. Download it on Google Play. Anyone with an ARCore-enabled phone can jump into most of these experiences from the Play Store right now, and developers can get started building their own apps today. |
