World-scale AR. AR Foundation + Mapbox

Hi. I’m trying to accomplish the following task. I want to use AR Foundation to see objects whose positions are defined in the real world. In other words, I have an array of latitudes and longitudes, and I want objects to be created at these coordinates that I can view in AR.

Mapbox had similar samples, but they are already outdated and based on the old Unity AR implementation. There is also no integration with AR Foundation for Mapbox, and it’s not planned.

I also tried this asset:

However, it didn’t meet my expectations. Objects behave very strangely.

Are there any examples of how this can be implemented? Or any ready-made solutions? Or can someone simply share their thoughts?

How exactly do they behave? Did you try to reach support of the asset?

Yes, I’ve already contacted support. Waiting for a response.
But I’m also interested in whether there are any other solutions or any advice on how to implement this using AR Foundation (and Mapbox if needed).

I found Indoor Atlas.
Is it suitable for your needs?

Provided Features:

  • Indoor Positioning: Powered by a 6-layer sensor fusion core delivering robust performance with minimal infrastructure.
  • Augmented Reality: Create new user experiences with location-aware AR navigation and virtual content.
  • Geofencing: Show relevant content at the right time in the right place and adapt your app’s logic based on device’s location.
  • Wayfinding & POIs: Enable navigation from point A to point B and add metadata to your indoor maps.
  • Data API: Get insights about devices’ whereabouts and enable location-aware Business Intelligence.
  • Asset tracking: Cross-platform solution for monitoring whereabouts of a fleet of devices across multiple venues.

Thank you. This SDK seems to be the most suitable in terms of functionality. However, unfortunately, it’s quite expensive for our project right now.

Hello! I have been experimenting with AR Geo, which is Google’s spatial localization technology for AR object placement. This technology allows objects to be intuitively positioned at specific latitude and longitude coordinates, making it a powerful tool for precise AR experiences. If you’re interested in using this type of technology, I think it’s a great choice!

Hello! Thank you for your reply. We will check it!

Google’s Geospatial Creator is the only geospatial provider among Unity’s officially supported AR Foundation platforms. However, note that Geospatial Creator is fully Google’s product. Unity is not affiliated and cannot provide support.

If you have access to the physical locations where you want to place your objects, I also personally might suggest that you look at Niantic Lightship ARDK (which is also an independent product and not affiliated with Unity).
