Abstract
In this paper ARCore and ARkit capabilities were scrutinized and compared. Authors established comparison criteria for both platforms, developed test applications and ran comparison tests. Obtained results can be a help in choosing the right framework to speed up prototyping and development of modern AR/VR applications. This work consists of a comprehensive comparison of these new frameworks in the following respects: general performance (CPU/memory use), mapping of planes on various surface types, influence of light and movement on mapping quality etc.
