Google recently launched a new tool called Geospatial Creator for developers and creators who want to create and launch augmented reality (AR) experiences in real addresses.
Powered by the ARCore and Google Maps platforms, the tool utilizes realistic 3D tiles to visualize and augment real-world 3D geometry.
Using the Geospatial Creator tool, developers can obtain 3D data of a specified area and move in the area like Google Earth.
Developers can locate, place and anchor 3D content with sub-meter precision within the area covered by Google Street View at any given latitude, longitude and altitude. Users can also use terrain anchors and roof anchors to place 3D content relative to ground and building geometry.
Users can access Geospatial Creator through ARCore Extensions in Unity, Geospatial Pre-release in Adobe Aero.
Google claims that even ordinary users with little programming ability can use Geospatial Creator to create world-anchored immersive experiences in minutes. The tool is designed to make the world a canvas for AR creations and empower users to bring their creative visions to life.
