The difference between Tango and ARCore, however, is that ARCore doesn\u2019t require additional hardware to work.<\/p>\n<p>There are three key features crucial to ARCore: Motion tracking, environmental understanding, and light estimation. All of these features will work together to bring augmented reality to your device.<\/p>\n<p>ARCore will come to the Pixel and Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S8 beginning today, with a larger rollout planned for the future (so long as your device runs Android 7.0 Nougat). The search giant said it\u2019s working with Samsung, Huawei, LG, Asus, and others, and plans to bring ARCore to more than 100 million devices before the preview is finished.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s announcement of ARCore comes on the heels of Apple\u2019s ARKit, which the Cupertino company introduced\u00a0earlier this summer.<\/p>\n<p>With the final version of iOS 11 on the horizon, Apple is primed to bring augmented reality to a wider scale of iPhone users. Android users, it seems, won\u2019t be far behind, though it sounds like you\u2019ll need the latest devices to use ARCore.<\/p>\n<p>Google said it will share more information about ARCore later this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"attribution\"><label>SOURCE:<\/label>\u00a0<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/products\/google-vr\/arcore-augmented-reality-android-scale\/\">GOOGLE<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google on Tuesday formally introduced a preview of ARCore, a new software development kit (SKD) designed to bring augmented reality to current and future Android devices.
