What about the other side ? Android ?

[jeromeetienne]

@karanganesan ARKit is apple ios only. im not sure i understand. what do you mean ?

[karanganesan]

I know ARKit is iOS only ! What will be some equivalent for it on Android ?

[jeromeetienne]

oh i see. sorry lack of sleep here. on tango android, AR.js will provide tango tracking. on non-tango android, AR.js will provide a tracking using webstandard (getUserMedia+artoolkit)

About AR.js and various tracking, The current plan is .. :)

• on android/ios with web technologies, we can use the webcam and provide pure web tracking with getUserMedia. Aka artoolkit kind of thing
• on ios, provide ARKit with a phonegap app. in any case, people willing to use ARKit will have to install an apps. No matter how they wrote the apps. AR.js, native, unity.
• on tango, provide tango tracking. Currently only available via chromium-webar. it will likely be included in chrome later. so no need to specific app later. chromium-webar is the specific app for now

So ar.js will provide the various trackings available on the device you are running. and you will be able to pick the one that fit your need.

i hope this help
