AR Tracking for Large-Scale Objects

General
1

Hello,

I’m considering purchasing the Magic Leap 2 for a project and would love some input before I dive in. I’m aiming to develop an app that uses AR to track large objects, specifically within a building, and possibly even track the building itself using Vuforia area target or ARCore.

Here are my questions:

  1. Is Magic Leap 2’s tracking robust enough for large objects like buildings? Does anyone have experience with this, or could you point me to some relevant resources?
  2. Would Vuforia or ARCore work effectively on this device for such large-scale tracking tasks?
  3. Are there any examples or demos available that showcase large-scale tracking on Magic Leap 2? It would be great to see a real-world implementation to assess tracking stability and user experience.

Any insights or examples would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @gas.mas.15243 happy to help point you in the right direction.

  1. The Magic Leap 2 has very robust head pose so the drift should be minimal as you walk across a large space. Additionally, depending on the size of your space you can use the Spaces app to Map the environment and place spatial anchors. You can also test placing content relative to the Space's origin.

Unity Spatial Anchors API:

Unity Localization Map API:

  1. Magic Leap 2 does not support ARCore however we do support Vuforia.

  2. You can look at the Magic Leap Unity Examples project or test the Object Alignment demo that we have posted on Github: Object Alignment | MagicLeap Developer Documentation

Thank you for the response! The information about Spaces, spatial anchors, and Vuforia support is really helpful.

However, I’m still hoping to find concrete examples or demos, specifically showcasing large-scale tracking using Magic Leap 2. It would be incredibly useful to see video examples or demos that highlight Magic Leap 2’s tracking performance, stability, and user experience in such scenarios.

Are there any videos, case studies, or example projects available that visually demonstrate Magic Leap 2 handling large-scale tracking? Even links to community demos or relevant resources would be much appreciated.

Thanks again for your support.
