Announced in 2017, ARCore is Google's platform for mobile augmented reality. It then was renamed as "Google Play Services for AR," featuring augmented reality experiences built with an ARCore SDK on certified Android devices.
About Google Play Services for AR
The most significant update to ARCore comes in the aspect of Augmented Images, which is an API that lets users point their cameras at 2D images and turns those images alive on the screen. Sounds interesting? Now, even better, the Augmented Images API can track moving images, rather than stationary ones, which helps make for a much more immersive and realistic experience.
What's more, Google has added "Environmental HDR" to the Light Estimation API, which can take advantage of machine learning to estimate where the light is coming from in a photo. It helps create a more realistic digital change to a scene by adding accurate shadows, reflections, and highlights.
