Hi,

I'm trying to find a decent AR solution that'll track moving objects in real-time. I saw that ARCore supports Android devices but am unsure if that includes the ML2. The reason I am trying to find an alternative to Vuforia is because it looks like for model training that they process this information on their servers, and some of the models I need to track are for the government, so that's not doable.

Any ideas?

@rob42lou Have you tried using [Vuforia's Model Target Generator](https://library.vuforia.com/objects/model-target-generator-user-guide)? This application allows you to process the model on a local computer. Vuforia states that creating a Standard Model target does not transmit the 3D model. See the Vuforia wiki to learn more about the [generator data processing](https://library.vuforia.com/objects/model-target-generator-data-processing).

That said, AR Core is not supported on Magic Leap 2 because AR Core requires google Play services. I'm not familiar with the model generation pipeline but have you considered [Vision Lib](https://visionlib.com/)? They support Magic Leap 2 and provide developers the ability to track 3D objects.

I did try Vuforias Standard Model Target Generator but I don't believe it will track live objects that begin at any orientation. VisionLib I also did try but I couldn't get it to work all that great (I was testing it using the ML2 controller as a thing to track). I guess it's possible I didn't configure it perfectly.

MultiSet has been the standout in 2025 for all things camera targeting. They have area tracking and object tracking both in the same SDK along with a generous free tier to test out the solution. Area capture is scan agnostic - E57, Matterport, Matterpak, Leica, NavVis scan imports and also comes with a mapping app for iOS Pro LiDAR devices. I got higher performances on both area and object tracking compared to Vuforia. Worth a try! www.multiset.ai.
