Learn how plane detection identifies surfaces so AR objects can be placed naturally.
Plane detection is a technology that can identify flat surfaces, like floors, tables, and walls, so augmented reality objects can be placed upon them.
A mobile device or AR headset can analyze depth through technologies like LiDAR, and it can understand visual features to find surface patterns. The device classifies any surface it sees as horizontal or vertical and provides anchors for 3D objects to be placed.
A user wants to hang a piece of digital artwork on their wall. The Trace AR app uses plane detection to recognize where the wall is, so the frame can align perfectly with the physical geometry
Plane detection is an essential technology that makes AR content realistic and believable by aligning it to physical surfaces.
