Hi Folks,

I spent the whole day in experimenting with the ARCU and QR-Code trackers -  
But in the end ML2 gives me just a direction where the target is estimated, not  
the correct position (distance) in the real world, like Vuforia of ARKit does, right?  
Or do I make something wrong?

Happy help you with this. Can you verify that the marker size specified in the API matches the physical dimensions of the marker you are trying to track in the real world?

Thanks for the hint - in fact that was the problem!  
WHAT AN ACCURATE TRACKING! Congrats to the ML2 Team!
