This video walks through the steps to building an app that displays Geospatial
data and places content in real-world locations using the Geospatial API.
If you're new to developing with ARCore, see Getting started
for information about software and hardware requirements, prerequisities and
other information specific to the platforms you are using.
Be sure your development environment satisfies the ARCore SDK requirements, as
described in the Quickstart.
