    I know this is probably more on Google's end than Unity's, but ARCore is requiring an Opengles backend and so far nothing has been announced to say it will ever be otherwise.
    Knowing all the improvements (especialy performances) Vulkan is bringing over, does Unity has any knowledge or plan to tackle this crippling issue?

    The latest ARCore version actually supports vulkan!
    Now it's up to Unity to add the support!
