ARCore-Location places AR content at real-world coordinates on Android. This wiki covers version 2.0. The README has installation steps and a quick start.

Pages

  • Getting started: setting up the library, placing anchors every frame and showing the tracker's status.
  • How placement works: how GPS, compass and ARCore tracking are combined, and what accuracy to expect.
  • Geospatial API: setting up ARCore's Geospatial API for much better accuracy.
  • Troubleshooting: markers in the wrong place, status messages and common errors.
  • Migrating from 1.x: every 1.x API and what replaces it.
  • Sceneform markers: options for LocationMarker and LocationScene, for apps that already use Sceneform.
  • Releasing: how maintainers publish a new version.

Which module do I need?

Use arcore-location. It works with ARCore directly and with any renderer, and it's the right choice for a new app.

arcore-location-sceneform adds LocationScene and LocationMarker for apps that already use Sceneform, such as 1.x apps being upgraded. Sceneform is archived and its native libraries can't be published to Google Play for apps targeting Android 15 or later, so don't start a new app on it.
