AR And VR In Java: ARKit, ARCore, And A Virtual Room You Can Debug

AR And VR In Java: ARKit, ARCore, And A Virtual Room You Can Debug

Short summary

Codename One adds com.codename1.ar and com.codename1.vr packages, providing a portable Java/Kotlin API over ARKit and ARCore with a full AR simulator backend for debugging without a device. The AR API supports world tracking, plane detection, hit testing, anchors, and face tracking with identical code on iOS and Android. The VR package is pure core code built on the existing GPU pipeline with no platform SDK dependency.

  • •New AR package wraps ARKit and ARCore behind a single portable Java API
  • •Simulated AR backend lets you debug tracking loss, plane detection, and face anchors at a desk
  • •VR package runs on any GPU-supported device with no platform SDK required
