Getting Started with AR Development
June 25, 2025
ARKit
ARCore
Unity
Augmented Reality development has become more accessible with modern frameworks. Key platforms include ARKit for iOS and ARCore for Android, with Unity AR Foundation providing cross-platform development capabilities.
Essential considerations include performance optimization, user experience design, and proper testing across different devices and environments.
AR Performance Best Practices

Performance
Optimization
Maintaining 60 FPS is crucial for AR experiences. General optimization techniques include using occlusion culling, optimizing texture sizes, and implementing proper Level of Detail (LOD) systems.
Testing should be performed on various devices and lighting conditions to ensure consistent performance across different environments.
User Experience in AR Applications
AR user experience requires careful consideration of real-world contexts. Applications should provide clear visual feedback for tracking states, handle tracking loss gracefully, and include intuitive onboarding experiences.
Design patterns should account for varying lighting conditions and different physical environments where the AR application will be used.
