It is well suited for small objects in home/office or familiar surroundings to anchor Augmented Reality Objects. It works well for most e-commerce use cases, travel use cases, games, etc. It is not well suited where depth occlusion is the primary use case or human body anchoring is required or even for large-scale AR use cases.

The augmentations and detection of images are pretty good. There are no unnecessary effects. Efficient setup and documentation are pretty good. And most importantly good support from services. We can even use this without deep knowledge about AR because SDK makes it simpler for us to use.

Pros
  • It understands the surroundings very well as it maps it around the user.
  • It understands the users' relative position in terms of the surroundings and tracks the users' movements.
  • It can sense the surrounding lighting and overlay that on top of the AR objects to make it more immersive.

Alternatives Considered
Vuforia Engine has limited functionalities compared to ARCore. It has image-based detection and augmentation which requires users to have the anchor image with them for the augmentation to properly occur. ARCore solves that and it's one step less to reach the user and really convince them to try it.
