5 Best AR SDKs For Mobile App Development
                     5 Best AR SDKs For 
Mobile App 
Development
Introduction
One of the most impressive developments of modern 
technology is Augmented Reality (AR). It superimposes 
computer-generated layers of digital information onto the 
view of the physical, real-world environment. Applications 
with AR are gaining popularity rapidly. You may have seen 
or used some incredible AR apps. They are built using 
development kits created specifically for Augmented 
Reality applications. Today, we'll list out the top five AR 
SDKs the top iOS and 
Android App Development Services providers are 
using.
What Are AR SDKs?
Software Development Kit or SDK is a collection of software 
development programs in one installable package. They are 
used for mobile app development. The package contains a 
compiler, debugger, and a software framework. It eases the 
development process for companies providing iOS and 
Android App Development Services. AR SDKs is a 
development kit that consists of the complete package to 
help the development team to build apps for the AR 
platform or apps that relate to the concept of Augmented 
Reality. 
In the next slide, we will discuss the best five AR SDKs you 
can rely on while developing your mobile app.
Also known as all-in-one Augmented Reality Framework, 
Wikitude is used by iOS and Android App Development Services 
provider worldwide. It enables the developers to create a 3D 
object while making use of GEO data and implementing the 
image recognition strategies. The latest versions of Wikitude 
supports the SLAM (Mapping) technology with simultaneous 
localization. Here, SLAM is the technology that allows the 
developer to directly map their AR components.
Advantages Include:
● Supports a variety of devices, including tablets and smart glasses
● Traces multiple images simultaneously
● Offers Object Tracking and Image Tracking with recognition feature
● Supports GEOlocation AR applications, ARCore, and ARKit
● Allows instant tracking solutions
One of the most convenient AR SDK currently 
available is, without a doubt, Kudan. It is simple, fast 
and also allows the mobile app development experts 
to use object-based recognition with posters and 
stickers. Kudan is yet to master the face detection 
feature as it doesn't inclusive of the proper 
components required for face transformations. Some 
examples of the apps created with Kudan are Ford's 
Virtual Mustang and Formula E Xperience by DHL.
Advantages Include:
● Supported by popular mobile app platforms, including iOS and Android
● Offers Advanced Recognition feature coupled with Real-time Texture Morphing
● Provides support for HD 3D Graphics and HD rendering
● Offers special mode of Target Recovery
A great platform to use especially if you are building a powerful 
Augmented Reality game. Vuforia employs the technology of 
Computer Vision to recognize and track the image targets in 
real-time. It is one of the most popular AR SDKs the top iOS and 
App Development Services provider are using today. The users 
can make the most of this platform in the free version of this 
SDK. It offers many different features and plugins, with the 
watermark of Vuforia, you can use in the free version.
Advantages Include:
● Available for several platforms like AR + VR Viewers, Digital Eyewear, and Windows 10
● Offers some of the extra features like Model Targets, Fusion, and Ground Plane
● Can easily recognize different types of object shapes like a circle, box, cylinder, etc. 
● Provides reorganization of Text and Environment with an object scanner allowing the 
developer to target any object with ease
● The recognition process is available with the cloud database
Apple introduced its all-new ARKit with the release of iOS 11. It is a 
framework that allows the mobile app development experts to 
seamlessly create unparalleled AR experiences for iOS devices like 
iPad and iPhone. The ARKit takes the users experience of AR to the 
next level with innovative ways of interaction. The software offers 
this experience by establishing the perfect balance between the 
blend of digital objects with the user's environment.
Advantages Include:
● Offers the Quick Look objects in AR as well as in 3D
● Supports both iOS and Mac OS
● ARKit 2, the latest version, includes a lot of improvements since the first release
● Is persistent and also offers shared Augmented Reality Experiences
● Object Detection and Tracking is also available with this AR SDK
Google's response to Apple's ARKit, the ARCore is an AR 
platform for developers that ease their AR Android App 
Development Services. It allows the end-user to sense the 
external environment using their mobile devices. In a 
nutshell, it is Google's effort to create new AR experiences 
that are a perfect blend of the digital and physical world.
Advantages Include:
● Supports all major platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows
● Offers Light Estimation feature used to estimate the lighting conditions in reality
● Includes Motion Tracking feature that allows the user to track their phone's position
● Also has an excellent Environmental Understanding feature that is useful to detect the 
location along with the size of the surfaces
Wrapping Up
So, here is the list of the top five AR SDKs. These include 
some of the best features that help app development 
companies deliver outstanding AR iOS and Android App 
Development Services with ease. With them, you can build 
groundbreaking applications such as AR-based games, face 
recognition applications, project-based applications, and 
much more. Hopefully, this presentation will help you decide 
which software development kit is ideal for your app's 
functionality requirement.
