Building AR Apps with ARCore and ARKit: Master Augmented Reality App Development with ARCore and ARKit for Immersive and Interactive AR Experiences

Build Immersive AR Apps with ARCore and ARKitKey Features● Detailed step-by-step instructions on ARCore and ARKit environments, tools, and workflows.● Hands-on projects like an AR furniture app and an AR game to apply your knowledge.● Learn key AR features such as spatial tracking, environment understanding, and user interaction.Book DescriptionAugmented Reality (AR) is revolutionizing how we interact with digital content, and mastering ARCore and ARKit can give you a competitive edge in this rapidly growing field. Building AR Apps with ARCore and ARKit takes you on a structured journey, starting with the fundamentals of AR technology and progressing to building real-world applications.You'll begin by understanding the core principles of AR and setting up your development environment. From there, you’ll dive into ARCore and ARKit, learning how to harness their capabilities to create interactive and immersive experiences. Step by step, you’ll build your first AR applications, implementing crucial features such as spatial tracking, surface detection, and real-world interaction. As you advance, you’ll work on practical projects like an AR furniture app and an AR game, reinforcing your knowledge with hands-on experience.By the end of this book, you won’t just understand AR—you’ll be equipped to build and deploy powerful AR applications with confidence. Whether you're a developer looking to expand your skill set or an innovator eager to push the boundaries of digital experiences, this book provides the expertise you need. Don’t get left behind—start building the future of AR today!What you will learn● Develop AR apps with ARCore and ARKit from scratch.● Implement spatial tracking, occlusion, and real-world object interaction.● Create interactive AR experiences with face tracking and gestures.● Optimize AR app performance for Android and iOS devices.● Leverage Generative AI to automate and enhance AR development.Table of Contents1.
