ARKit and ARCore

ARKit from Apple iOS

  • Visual Inertial Odometry
    • ARKit uses Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) to accurately track the world around it.
  • Scene Understanding and Lighting Estimation
    • ARKit can detect horizontal planes like tables and floors, and can track and place objects on smaller feature points as well.
  • High Performance Hardware and Rendering Optimizations
    • You can take advantage of the optimizations for ARKit in Metal, SceneKit, and third-party tools like Unity and Unreal Engine.
Supported formats include the following:

 ARCore from Google Android
ARCore works with Java/OpenGL, Unity and Unreal and focuses on three things:

  • Motion tracking
    • Using the phone’s camera to observe feature points in the room and IMU sensor data, ARCore determines both the position and orientation (pose) of the phone as it moves. Virtual objects remain accurately placed.
  • Environmental understanding
    • It’s common for AR objects to be placed on a floor or a table. ARCore can detect horizontal surfaces using the same feature points it uses for motion tracking.
  • Light estimation
    • ARCore observes the ambient light in the environment and makes it possible for developers to light virtual objects in ways that match their surroundings, making their appearance even more realistic.
ARCore works with Java/OpenGL, Unity and Unreal.

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!
