Doing this right now - most interested in tango vs. AR kit with same content. Even if AR kit is the same, implications would be huge.
Anyone done a comparison between the phone-based AR SDK & hardware between Google, Facebook, & Apple?

AR kit tests with our content looks as good or better than tango
-
That really makes me wonder if ARkit can evolve to 3Dscankit. Single-cam realtime 3D capture is the dream!

FB has anything phone based for AR? Tango I have used, but that is specific hw that doesn't work on normal phones. Apple no idea.
-
Yeah, FB announced AR Studio at F8 for making Snapchat-inspired filters Link: https://developers.facebook.com/products/camera-effects/ar-studio/ … Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AvnnIZ7qbs …
-
Well, okay, that's not something I would call an "AR SDK", even though it is AR, strictly speaking.
-
It goes way beyond that video and is actually very close to what Apple showed, i.e. watch this https://youtu.be/OFkEHEWPZSU?t=671 …
-
Well, but did anyone actually seen a working implementation in the wild? That video doesn't really show much.
-
It's in closed beta, they were keeping it close to the vest so far. That might change now that Apple's got a direct competitor out though.

I have not. The comparison should be Google Tango vs Apple ARKit vs Windows Holographic
-
Tango vs Hololens, more likely. The Win Holographic API is not only AR (stupid MS marketing). Did some dev for both, they are about the same
-
Both can be a PITA to develop for, the hw has issues - battery pwr, limited resources, works only on very few specific devices.
-
But if you want marker-less 6dof tracking for positioning (not object overlays), Tango & Hololens are the state of the art, ATM.
-
Neither of them is very usable for overlaying objects (highlight parts, for ex). That is pushing the limits, you want a marker there.
-
Had a quick look at ARKit, it is not using full SLAM but visual odometry. Much cheaper computationally, but some things are not doable.
-
Things like persistent scenes based on 3D feature recognition or 3D scanning that both Hololens & Tango can do ARKit likely can't do.
-
Correct. In the WWDC video they say that the coordinate system boots at 0,0,0 where the device is at the beginning of each session

In the near future feature disparity will cease with rgb SLAM, and the main difference will be license terms/lock in

Are these kits hw specific? Can I use ARKit for Android dev and Tango for iOS dev? How about AR.js?
-
AR.js run on IOS11, window phone and Android. Tango is specific to android + tango device. ARKit is specific to IOS.
-
2/2 What's the best way to build that project with AR.js support?
-
It depends on the project, people usually like to use a-frame binding. This make AR.js very simple to learn -https://medium.com/arjs/augmented-reality-in-10-lines-of-html-4e193ea9fdbf …

This is very helpful. Thanks.
