AR Camera Gyroscope and Accelerometer

AR Camera Lite uses Back/Rear Camera & Motion Sensor (Gyroscope or Accelerometer) on the player's mobile device to display 2D or 3D objects as though they were in the real world. AR Safety First.

Fast, Markerless, Pseudo Augmented Reality.

👉 Features

Bring the enchanting Power of Augmented Reality into your amazing Game or App:

• Cross-platform Mobile AR Camera: iOS, Android.
• Covering a Wide Range of Mobile Devices:
• Such pseudo AR can work on low-budget smartphones.
• No using of other AR Engines like AR Foundation (ARCore, ARKit), Vuforia...
• Device Orientations: Portrait, Landscape.
• Auto Selection of Sensor: Gyroscope, Accelerometer.
• Gyroscope Mode: same AR like in the Pokemon GO game (AR mode, not AR+): 3DoF — it can track rotational motion but not translational.
• Accelerometer Mode (horizontal rotation is limited): tilting the phone to the left or right rotates the camera around the Y-axis.
• Instant Launch after granting the camera permission: no need to scan the environment, because there is no surface/plane detection.
• Quick Testing in Unity Editor without Smartphone through the Right Mouse Button & WASDQE keys.
• Real-Time AR Shadows.

👉 Gyroscope vs. Accelerometer

90% of all mobile devices have an accelerometer and video camera but only 40% have a gyroscope.

If the user's smartphone has a Gyroscope, then it will be used for camera motion first. Otherwise, an Accelerometer will be used, because it has less accuracy & stability than a Gyroscope in the case of AR.

✨ Limitations

Hardware nuances of the gyroscope & accelerometer (asset code does not affect it):

• Different devices have different sensors, and therefore different deviations and drifts.
• Drift is natural for mobile sensors.
