Can ARKit and ARCore use Beacon as an Anchor?

160 Views Asked by At

We’re trying to anchor a model using an absolute coordinate system. I’m using a UWB beacon system to know where devices are. I’m now trying to tell ARKit (or ARCore) where the origin Anchor is. I’m trying to use a beacon location as the origin.

Is there an anchor type that will accept a real world beacon as its source?

iBeacon vs UWB

iBeacon is a low-precision Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). With iBeacon, the device position can be estimated with accuracy of 2.5 to 3.5 meters (it's monstrously inaccurate positioning).

A more interesting approach is the "collaboration" of NearbyInteraction and ARKit frameworks based on U1 (Ultra-WideBand) chips. This trio will give you an incomparably preciser positioning.
