ofxARCore

Experimental addon for openFrameworks to use ARCore on Android devices.

About

This openFrameworks addon implements some of the basic features from the ARCore API to be used in openFrameworks. This addon is not feature complete yet. Currently it only supports the basic camera tracking, rendering the camera image, besides basic anchor support. Even though its not feature complete, it should give a good starting point to work with AR in openFrameworks.

This is not an official Google product.

Developer guide

To use the addon, you need a special version of openFrameworks from github. It should hopefully merged into the official openFrameworks soon. Follow the Android Studio guide to learn how to get started with openFrameworks and Android.

To add the addon, add ofxARCore to addons.make in your project, or through the project generator. Additionally you will need to add the following two lines to the end of settings.gradle of your project:

include ':arcore_client'
project(':arcore_client').projectDir = new File(ofRoot + 'addons/ofxARCore/ofxARCoreLib/arcore_client')

To see basic usage of the addon, see the example code

Examples
