AR Foundation

Use the AR Foundation package to add high-level functionality for working with augmented reality. Unity 2018.1 includes built-in multi-platform support for AR. These APIs are in the UnityEngine.XR.ARSubsystems namespace, and consist of a number of Subsystems, e.g., XRPlaneSubsystem. Several XR Subsystems comprise the low-level API for interacting with AR. The AR Foundation package wraps this low-level API into a cohesive whole and enhances it with additional utilities, such as AR session lifecycle management and the creation of GameObjects to represent detected features in the environment.

Branch Guidelines

• master ==> Target this branch for changes that need to be in the most recent preview package. Then cherry-pick changes from this branch into older, non-staging branches. master will eventually branch to 2.1.x once work on a newer release begins.

• 2.0.x - Target this branch for changes that should be in the 2.0.x package versions.

• 2.0.x-staging - Only merge to this branch from 2.0.x in preparation for a release. This package should ideally contain the exact contents of the latest release on staging Bintray. So before a new release QA would validate against 2.0.x and then a merge would take place into 2.0.x-staging.

• 1.1.x - Target this branch for changes that should be in the 1.1.x package versions.

• 1.1.x-staging - Only merge to this branch from 1.1.x in preparation for a release. This package should ideally contain the exact contents of the latest release on staging Bintray. So before a new release QA would validate against 1.1.x and then a merge would take place into 1.1.x-staging.

• 1.0.x - Target this branch for changes that should be in the 1.0.x package versions.

• 1.0.x-staging - Only merge to this branch from 1.0.x in preparation for a release. This package should ideally contain the exact contents of the latest release on staging Bintray. So before a new release QA would validate against 1.0.x and then a merge would take place into 1.0.x-staging.
