Augmented Reality Frameworks for Android App Development


I have been looking for an up-to-date answer to the question: What is the recommended AR Framework to use for Android App development?

I want to start to learn AR so a framework with tutorials, community, etc... is preferable. So far the 2 that popped out are: Vuforia (Free version / License) and ARToolkit (Open-Source).

While looking I didn't find a lot of content for developing in Android Studio, why is that? There's plenty of Unity + Framework X content, but none for Android Studio.

Looking for people to shed some light on this and share his/her experience developping AR apps.

Thanks already

  • Before it was Metaio, but it was bought by apple. I used for many years and it was ok but it is not available anymore for Android.
    Aside from what you mentioned there is also Wikitude SDK and DroidAR:

    There might be more but so far I haven't heard. It is also worth tracking the future development of Vulkan Api.
