ARCore uses three key technologies to integrate virtual content with the real world as seen through the camera of a smartphone or tablet:[2]

  • Six degrees of freedom 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.

ARCore has been integrated into a multitude of devices.[3]
