Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to develop an AR application using ARCore and RTK to produce high-accuracy location data. How can I use RTK location data instead of GPS data in the Geospatial API?
What is RTK?
AR Foundation does not have a geospatial API. Please direct your question about ARCore to Google: Issues · google-ar/arcore-unity-extensions · GitHub
RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technology used in precise positioning systems. It enhances the accuracy of satellite-based positioning systems like GPS (Global Positioning System). RTK achieves this by transmitting data between fixed base stations and mobile receivers, improving position accuracy down to millimeter levels. I will use this device to obtain GPS data and utilize it instead of my phone’s location.

I am also wondering about this problem. I have trimble HPS2 GNSS which can connect to android, ios, tablet and accurately locate the coordinates of the device. Can Arkit or ar foundation use these coordinates to accurately track the model?
AR Foundation does not implement any AR capabilities. It is an interface that developers can use to integrate AR capabilities into Unity. So yes, it’s possible to write your own AR Foundation implementation using some custom piece of hardware.
Neither ARCore nor ARKit have any capability to inject data into their pipelines though. You would need to build an entire AR framework yourself if you wanted to use position data from this sensor.
