Build AR experiences, mixed reality games, and QR code scanners, as well as showcase interactive product functionalities in your application with Java Augmented Reality (AR) libraries.


These libraries help developers create AR applications for both smartphones and browsers. The key functions that an AR application can help achieve include the following:

  • 3Dgraphics overlay on top of the real-world
  • Tracking objects through motion tracking
  • Detecting images and overlaying graphics on them
  • Creating shared AR experiences


Also, several APIs and SDKs are available that allow developers to build AR applications in JAVA. Using these, you can enable functions like light estimation, location-based AR, environmental understanding, etc.


Explore these top Java Augmented Reality Libraries to build futuristic capabilities and features in your applications.


Google’s ARCore Java AR library gives developers the right tools and support to create AR applications for two million Android active users.
