Google Play Services for AR (formerly Google ARCore) is a software service from the company that enables applications to create augmented reality experienced on devices without any need for dedicated hardware. While the service uses a device's existing cameras and sensors for the AR experience, Google has to work with OEMs to create custom calibration profiles for each device in order to ensure that the AR features work properly. Due to the fact that several new Android devices are released each month, Google regularly adds new smartphones to the list of supported devices. Since our last coverage earlier this year in April, 21 new devices have gained official support for the service.
