AR Foundation Remote v1.4.37-release.0
“If possible, please buy the package to support the developer”
Description
A new big update is available! Try AR Foundation Remote 2.0.
⌛ Time is money! Iterate faster on your AR projects without leaving Unity Editor. Save time and sanity developing AR apps.
In simple words: AR Foundation Remote = Unity Remote + AR Foundation support.
💡 Current workflow with AR Foundation 💡
1. Make a change to your AR project.
2. Build the project and run it on a real AR device.
3. Wait for the build to complete.
4. Wait a little bit more.
5. Test your app on a real device using only Debug.Log().
🔥 Improved workflow with AR Foundation Remote 🔥
1. Set up the AR Companion app once. The setup process takes less than a few minutes.
2. Just press play! Run and debug your AR app with full access to the scene hierarchy and all object properties right in the Editor!

⚡ Features ⚡
• Precisely replicates the behavior of a real AR device in Editor.
• Extensively tested with both ARKit and ARCore.
• Plug-and-play: no additional scene setup is needed, just run your AR scene in Editor with AR Companion running (minor code change may be needed).
• Streams video from Editor to real AR device so you can see how your app looks on it without making a build (see Limitations).
• Multi-touch input remoting: stream multi-touch from an AR device or simulate touch using a mouse in Editor (see Limitations).
• Test Location Services (GPS), Gyroscope, and Compass right in the Editor.
• Written in pure C# with no third-party libraries. Full source code is available.
• Connect any AR Device to Windows PC or macOS via Wi-Fi: iOS + Windows PC, Android + macOS… any variation you can imagine!
• Compatible with ManoMotion SDK.
• Compatible with Wikitude SDK Expert Edition.
• Compatible with VisionLib SDK.
⚡ Supported AR subsystems ⚡
• Meshing (ARMeshManager): physical environment mesh generation, ARKit mesh classification support.
• Occlusion (AROcclusionManager): ARKit depth/stencil human segmentation, ARKit/ARCore environment occlusion (see Limitations).
• Face Tracking: face mesh, face pose, eye tracking, ARKit Blendshapes.
• Body Tracking: ARKit 2D/3D body tracking, scale estimation.
• Plane Tracking: horizontal and vertical plane detection, boundary vertices, raycast support.
• Image Tracking: supports a mutable image library and replacement of the image library at runtime.
• Depth Tracking (ARPointCloudManager): feature points, raycast support.
• Camera: camera background video (see Limitations), camera position and rotation, facing direction, camera configurations.
• CPU images: camera and occlusion CPU images support (see Limitations).
• Anchors (ARAnchorManager): add/remove anchors, attach anchors to detected planes.
• Session subsystem: Pause/Resume, receive Tracking State, set Tracking Mode.
• Light Estimation: Average Light Intensity, Brightness, and Color Temperature; Main Light Direction, Color, and Intensity; Exposure Duration and Offset; Ambient Spherical Harmonics.
• Raycast subsystem: perform world-based raycasts against detected planes, point clouds, and the depth map.
• Object Tracking: ARKit object detection after scanning with the scanning app (see Limitations).
• ARKit World Map: full support of ARWorldMap. Serialize the current world map, deserialize the saved world map, and apply it to the current session.
Technical details
💡 Requirements 💡
• Stable version of Unity 2019.4 or newer.
• AR Device (iPhone with ARKit support, Android with ARCore support, etc.).
• AR Device and Unity Editor should be on the same Wi-Fi network (a wired connection is supported with an additional setup).
• Verified version of AR Foundation 3.0.1 or newer.
👉 Limitations 👈
• Please check that your AR device supports the AR feature you want to test in Editor. For example, to test Meshing in Editor, your AR device should support Meshing.
• Video streaming and occlusion textures:
– Are supported with these Editor Graphics APIs: Direct3D11, Metal, and OpenGLCore.
– The framerate is around 15-20 FPS on high-end mobile devices. You can increase the framerate by decreasing the video resolution.
– Default video resolution scale is 0.33. You can increase the resolution in the plugin’s Settings, but this will result in higher latency and lower framerate.
• Touch input remoting and simulation:
– UI can respond to touch simulation and remoting only if the Game View window is focused.
– Only Input Manager is supported (UnityEngine.Input).
• ARKit Object Tracking:
– Adding a new object reference library requires a new build of the AR Companion app.
• CPU images:
– Only one XRCpuImage can be acquired at a time for each CPU image type.
– Only one XRCpuImage.ConvertAsync() conversion is supported at a time.
