We’re definitely getting closer to perfect AR, however, and Google is one of the companies leading the pack, with their augmented reality SDK and technology, which is dubbed ‘ARCore’.

But what’s ARCore all about? What phones are supported? Most importantly, should you even care about ARCore at all?
