Add some reality to your app with ArCore
summary
ARCore runs on many existing Android phones and replaces Tango while handling motion tracking, horizontal plane detection and average light estimation but not yet vertical planes or light direction. Geometry comes from frames and hit results, anchors keep objects stable, and practical limits emerge—use anchors not world coordinates and keep roughly limit ~12 anchors to avoid CPU/GPU overload. Rendering requires OpenGL (or a future wrapper), ARCore must be installed on the device, and assets as WebP greatly reduce APK size; lock orientation and cap placement distance (about four meters).
