Add some reality to your app with ArCore
summary
A working Android AR app uses ARCore + OpenGL: ARCore handles motion tracking, horizontal plane detection and light estimation while OpenGL does view rendering. The prototype ships 50 OBJ models with WebP textures and runs on API level 24+ devices (Pixel, Samsung, LG, Asus); bundling assets grows APK to ~35 MB. Key practices: create anchors (not raw x/y), prefer planes over unstable feature points, limit anchors to avoid overhead, cap interaction distance (~4 m), target 30 FPS, and use ARCore’s in‑app install/check APIs.
