Flutter Augmented Reality | Google ARCore & Sceneform 2024

Description

ARCore, also known as Google Play Services for AR, is a software development kit developed by Google that allows for augmented reality applications to be built. ARCore is a free tool and carries the advantage of multi-platform compatibility.

Sceneform makes it straightforward to render realistic 3D scenes in AR and non-AR apps, without having to learn OpenGL. It includes: A high-level scene graph API. A realistic physically based renderer provided by Filament. An Android Studio plugin for importing, viewing, and building 3D assets.

ARCore is Google's platform for building augmented reality experiences. Using different APIs, ARCore enables your phone to sense its environment, understand the world and interact with information. Some of the APIs are available across Android and iOS to enable shared AR experiences.

Augmented reality is an interactive experience that enhances the real world with computer-generated perceptual information. Using software, apps, and hardware such as AR glasses, augmented reality overlays digital content onto real-life environments and objects.

Augmented reality uses the existing real-world environment and puts virtual information—or even a virtual world—on top of it to enhance the experience. For example, think of Pokémon Go, where users are searching in their real-life neighborhoods for animated characters that pop up on their phone or tablet.

Flutter is an open source framework developed and supported by Google. Frontend and full-stack developers use Flutter to build an application's user interface (UI) for multiple platforms with a single codebase.

Flutter uses the Dart programming language, which is simple to learn. It's much easier to make mobile and desktop applications with Flutter because it is a modern framework. If you've worked with Java, Swift, or React Native, you'll notice that Flutter is quite different.
