the I/O 2018 conference earlier this week, Google introduced ARCore 1.2, which will bring with it three new significant features.
Sceneform, a new Java-centric scene creation SDK and Augmented Images, which enables developers to attach AR images to physical objects in the real world with vertical plane detection, will be available exclusively for Android devices.
Meanwhile, Cloud Anchors, which allows separate devices to share object-related information between them, will enable collaboration between Android and iOS devices.
ARCore 1.2 is now available via Google’s developer website. Take a look at the video below, showing Augmented Images at work.
