We used ARKit & ARCore, the leading technologies in the industry, for building the FurnitARe application. With the power of ARKit & ARCore, we could achieve markerless surface recognition and object placement which has proven to be an effective solution that provides an opportunity to get impeccable experience from the augmented reality.
