    So I logged the distance returned by ARRaycastHit and the results are never as expected. Placing on a table close to the phone returns large values while placing on the ground further away returns smaller values. The results are also very inconsistent.

    I would like to get the distance to auto scale the AR scene. Anyone had any luck calculating the distance from the phone to the detected plane?

    Hi,
    How are you calculating the distance? Could you be using the wrong coord space in your calcs? Ie. Session space vs world space?

    Vector3.Distance between camera and ARRaycastHit position.

    ARRaycastHit has a distance property. Does that give you the same value?
