Launch AR on Android

The Android client uses Chrome WebXR and on-device ARCore, so no separate app is required. Space Studio generates an AR link for the current map and Content.

Requirements

  • An Android phone or tablet that supports ARCore.
  • The latest stable Chrome, with permission to use the camera and motion tracking.
  • A stable network connection. The first launch loads the map, Content, and AR runtime.
  • A Ready map with Launch available in the Space Studio top bar.

Launch from Space Studio

  1. Open a Ready map from Spatial Maps.
  2. In the Space Studio top bar, select Launch.
  3. Select Android. The tab is hidden if Android launch is not enabled in the current deployment.
  4. Scan the QR code with the Android device, or send the link to the device and open it in Chrome.
  5. Grant camera access, then start AR from the page.

ARCore first establishes smooth local tracking. 01Spatial then aligns the map coordinate system with the current AR session. During initialization, face a mapped area with fixed visual detail and move the device slowly. Avoid aiming only at a blank wall or the floor.

Acceptance checks

  • Content remains fixed in the real world instead of moving with the camera.
  • Approaching the same object from different directions produces the same alignment.
  • After a brief occlusion or rapid motion, Content returns to the correct location when tracking stabilizes.
  • If the page cannot localize, move to a feature-rich area that was included in the scan and try again.

The QR code and link contain map access credentials. Do not publish them on a public website, in a public chat, or in logs. For a public experience, use an authorized production distribution entry instead of a temporary Space Studio link.
