Another Step towards Budget Hololens
Ah, what a day. Google released ARCore , it’s latest AR SDK which, unlike Tango, can achieve great results without dedicated depth cameras.
Is this a response to Apple’s ARKit ? I don’t care, because this will make a difference in it’s own way. The introduction video of ARCore is showing good lighting utilization in simulations as well as neat physics for 3D objects. Developers going crazy already with SDK. Here’s what most of the news are not showing.
And the good news is this Google will launch this on Samsung S8 devices too along with Pixel Phones. And planned to release support on other companies later.

You can create the Subject and make it your personal entertainer. They used Unity, ARCore, Vuforia and API.AI to build this. The work they did with API.AI for voice commands is impressive.
