AR Foundation testing in the editor will be enabled when the AR Remote / Mobile Remote is updated and released. It's will allow you to hit play mode in the editor and use a connected mobile device to test AR features without compiling your app to the mobile device.

It's being worked on but we don't have any dates or announcements to share around that currently.

 

Hi! We’ll be sharing a timeline for MARS in the next several weeks. Stay tuned!

 

Both ARKit and ARCore (along with head mounted platforms) have unique features around multi-user experiences.

ARKit has collaborative sessions and world maps which are both enabled in AR Foundation.

ARCore has cloud anchors which can be enabled through AR Foundation extensions

Both of these features are built around sharing a known location which allows you to then network an experience and create multi user applications.

 

3D Object tracking / detection is available in AR Foundation with ARKit on iOS there is an example scene available in the AR Foundation samples and you can learn more about the feature on Apple's documentation

 

Hey there @Chadobado ! We hear you -and the many others asking. But as @philchacko said in the video, the companion app is not a remote. However, we do have a very talented team working on this. It is part of our roadmap and updates will be coming shortly. We appreciate the feedback. Please stay tuned!
