AR Archives - Flattered with Flutter

Is everything already virtual ?

As world prepares for Virtuality, should our apps also….?

Begin….

What’s AR ?

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are “augmented” by computers..

Diving in….

Choose the right development IDE for your use-case

For more info, https://developers.google.com/ar/

Enter Flutter….

Note : Currently supports Android only….If your use-case is cross-platform, try Unity…

Integrating AR in your app requires the below steps:

Install the arcore plugin…(ARCORE)
Change the minSdkVersion to 24 and compileSdkVersion to 28 (both available under app/build.gradle)

This is because arcore is inbuilt for android phones starting from Nougat (apiLevel 24)….

defaultConfig {        
...             
minSdkVersion 24        
...    
}

android {
...    
compileSdkVersion 28 
...
}

3. Try running the sample app available here,

If all good, you can see this….(on actual android device)

But, I dont have an Android device..

You can even run the app on Android Emulator with some efforts !!!!!!

Run on Emulator….

You need to sign into your Google account in Emulator
Most likely your Android Emulator wont have the latest ARCore updates. When you launch the above app, it will ask you to update…
