ARCore SDK for Android v1.1.0
ARCore SDK v1.1.0
ARCore enables AR applications to track a phone’s motion in the real world, detect planes in the environment, and understand lighting in the camera scene.
ARCore 1.1 provides two new APIs:
- API for synchronously (in the same frame) acquiring the image from a camera frame (without manually copying the image buffer from the GPU to the CPU). This lets you run your own image processing algorithms on the images from the camera.
- API for getting color correction information for the images captured by the camera. This lets you render your virtual objects in a way that matches the real-world lighting conditions.
Build-config changes
We have split arcore_sdk.so
into arcore_sdk_c.so
and arcore_sdk_jni.so
.
- Clients using the C API should dynamically load only
arcore_sdk_c.so
. The C sample app reflects this change. - Java clients don’t need to change anything as the Java wrapper handles this.
Supported Devices
This release is only supported on, and should only be installed on, qualified devices running Android N and later. See the list of ARCore supported devices for specific device models.
Downloading APKs
When possible, ARCore should always be installed from the Google Play Store. The APKs are offered for use in the Android Emulator and for developers that cannot access the Google Play Store.
