Abstract

With the development of ARKit and ARCore, mobile Augmented Reality (AR) applications have become popular. Our ARCalVR is a lightweight, open-source software environment to develop AR applications on Android devices, and it gives the programmer full control over the phone’s resources. With ARCalVR, one can do 60fps marker-less AR on Android devices, including functionalities of more complex environment understanding, physical simulation, virtual object interaction and interaction between virtual objects and real environment.
