Augmented Reality Platforms
There’s a plethora of platforms, SDKs, and game engines available for developing augmented reality apps. Making the right choice is pivotal to crafting an optimal AR experience for your audience.
Unity
Unity is one of the most popular cross-platform game development engines that also excels in creating AR experiences. Its major advantage lies in its vast ecosystem, which includes a large community of developers, an extensive asset store, and powerful tools for AR development such as the AR Foundation framework. Unity is particularly advantageous for developers aiming to deploy their AR applications across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows) while maintaining a consistent user experience. It’s ideal for complex interactive applications, such as games or simulations, that require detailed environments and high levels of user engagement.
ARKit
Apple’s launch of ARKit marked a pivotal moment for augmented reality (AR), thrusting a previously niche technology into the limelight. Even though AR had been in existence for years, it was ARKit that solidified its mainstream status. ARKit facilitates the creation of diverse AR experiences, from casual apps to robust business applications. Compatible with iOS, natively attuned to Vision OS, and integrable with the Unity Game engine, ARKit, especially within VisionOS, has a profound grasp of one’s environment, empowering apps to interact with spaces in innovative ways. As an augmented reality agency, we consider ARKit as the premier SDK for AR development.
Unreal engine
Unreal and Unity are comparable giants in game development, both boasting outstanding graphics. However, when it comes to the pinnacle of graphic quality and intricate environmental details, Unreal Engine holds the edge. It offers swifter rendering than Unity, streamlining post-processing and overall game creation. With its comprehensive AR framework, Unreal delivers a cohesive platform for augmented reality app development. At Frame Sixty, as an augmented reality agency, our choice leans towards Unreal for AR apps when unparalleled graphic fidelity is paramount.
ARCore
ARCore, developed by Google, is instrumental in bridging the virtual and real worlds. At Frame Sixty, as an augmented reality agency, we believe its value lies in offering immersive AR experiences on Android devices. From shopping apps that allow users to visualize furniture in their living space before purchasing, to educational tools that bring historical figures to classrooms, its use cases are vast. Gamers experience more engaging environments, while businesses can offer interactive training modules. Moreover, tourism can be enhanced with AR city tours, and interior designers can make informed decisions using AR previews. ARCore’s versatility truly revolutionizes multiple sectors.
