# ARCore for All
Google ARCore for "unsupported" Android devices

## See Experimental Branch
This branch is unlikely to work on most devices.
**Please check out the [service mod](https://github.com/tomthecarrot/arcore-for-all/tree/service-mod) branch** of this repo to help us develop the latest experiment to bring ARCore to more devices. Thanks!

## Summary
Google's ARCore developer preview for Android is awesome. Unfortunately, my Android phone (Samsung GS8+) is not on the supported list, and apps built with ARCore exit at start on my device. However, its hardware actually can run ARCore!

## Developer Preview 2
ARCore has been updated to Preview 2 by Google. More devices are now supported. Another project on GitHub, [ARCore Patch](https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/arcore-patch), aims to extend unofficial device support for the new version.

## Developer Preview 1
Please see below for research on the first preview build.
