    Hello everyone.

    I am using ARCore for the first time for a project.
    I'm trying to scan a QR code and make an object appear next to it (to test positioning) and stay at this position even if I move away. QR code is scanning well using the ZXing library, and the object is appearing and staying.
    However, if I scan the QR code from a close distance, the object will appear next to it but not at the exact same location every time. If I scan it from a far distance, the object will appear very far from the QR code.

    How can I make an object appear at an exact location, no matter how far I scan the QR code from?

    We recently release Easy ML Kit which offers ARFoundation Camera as one of the input sources. Currently we added Barcode scanning and Object detection.

    ARFoundation Camera input scan offers bounding box in view space along with barcode results.
    Let us know if it's helpful.

    We recently added Digital Ink Recognition too and simplified the api even further for barcode.
