# AR Application Development

Augmented-reality applications that place useful digital content in physical space, with tracking and interaction designed for the intended devices.

Placed object

Surface anchor

**Tracking** Move around the object

## Tools & technologies

-   ARKit or ARCore
-   Unity where appropriate
-   3D asset pipeline
-   Device testing

## Place useful information in physical space.

### Product placement

Preview a correctly scaled object in a room before choosing a configuration.

### Guided tasks

Anchor step-specific instructions to a recognized surface or object.

### Interactive exhibits

Reveal spatial content through a handheld device or supported headset.

## Place a chair in a room

Capability Example

A user selects a chair model and points a phone at the floor.

### Find

### Place

### Recover

Illustrative data. Nothing is sent to an external system.

Example workspace 1 / 3

### Room scan

Illustrative spatial reference with a selected object

-   Horizontal plane detected
-   Scale established
-   Placement not yet confirmed

Detect a usable plane and ask the user to confirm placement.

### Placed object

Illustrative spatial reference with a selected object

-   Object attached to anchor
-   Camera moves
-   Tracking temporarily lost

Render the model at its declared dimensions with rotation controls.

### Recovery state

Illustrative spatial reference with a selected object

-   Placement paused
-   Rescan prompt shown
-   Object restored after anchor recovery

Explain tracking loss and allow placement to be reset.

An adjustable room preview linked to the selected product configuration.

## The experience and its tracking behavior.

-   **AR interaction prototype**
-   **Optimized scene assets**

-   **Tracking and device test matrix**
-   **Application source and release build**

## Choose the surface and the target device.

### Device coverage

Agree supported hardware and a fallback for devices without the required AR features.

### Asset preparation

Source dimensions, materials and polygon budgets affect the credibility of the preview.

## Questions before we start.

### Can the experience run in a browser?

Sometimes. Browser capability and device support must be checked against the required tracking and interaction features.

### Is an AR preview a measurement tool?

Not by default. Any measurement claim needs device-specific calibration and validation for its intended use.
