To get started using ARCore in your app, follow the platform-specific guides,
listed above, for your platform. Once you've set up your environment and
confirmed that you can run the sample app, you'll want to
enable ARCore as either AR Required or AR Optional, and configure an ARCore
session for your app. Then you can explore ARCore features such as
Instant Placement,
Augmented Images, and
Cloud Anchors.
For more information about Augmented Reality and AR app development generally,
see Fundamental concepts and other articles in the
Augmented Reality essentials section.
