What is AR?

AR applications require a different set of features than VR applications. AR applications need to be able to track the environment and place virtual objects in the real world. Unity offers an ARKit plugin that allows developers to create AR applications for iOS devices. Unreal Engine 4 also has built-in AR support through its ARKit plugin. In addition, both engines support Google's ARCore platform.
