ARCore uses three key technologies to integrate virtual content with the real world as seen through your phone's camera:[1]
- Motion tracking allows the phone to understand and track its position relative to the world.
- Environmental understanding allows the phone to detect the size and location of flat horizontal surfaces like the ground or a coffee table.
- Light estimation allows the phone to estimate the environment's current lighting conditions.
Samsung have announced that ARCore will be used in their product line.[2]
