AddAnchor

ARGeospatialAnchor AddAnchor(
  this ARAnchorManager anchorManager,
  double latitude,
  double longitude,
  double altitude,
  Quaternion eunRotation
)

Creates a new anchor at the specified geodetic location and orientation relative to the Earth.

Latitude and longitude are defined by the WGS84 specification, and altitude values are defined by the elevation above the WGS84 ellipsoid.

Creating anchors near the north pole or south pole is not supported. If the latitude is within 0.1 degrees of the north pole or south pole (90 degrees or -90 degrees), this function will return null.

The rotation provided by eunRotation is a rotation with respect to an east-up-north coordinate frame. An identity rotation will have the anchor oriented such that X+ points to the east, Y+ points up away from the center of the earth, and Z+ points to the north.

To create a quaternion that represents a clockwise angle theta from north around the +Y anchor frame axis, use the following formula: Quaternion.AngleAxis(180f - theta, Vector3.up);

An anchor's tracking state will be TrackingState.None while AREarthManager.EarthTrackingState is TrackingState.None. The tracking state will permanently become TrackingState.None if the configuration is set to GeospatialMode.Disabled.

Details

Parameters

`anchorManager`	The ARAnchorManager instance.
`latitude`	The latitude of the anchor relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid.
`longitude`	The longitude of the anchor relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid.
`altitude`	The altitude of the anchor relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid.
`eunRotation`	The rotation of the anchor with respect to the east-up-north coordinate frame where X+ points east, Y+ points up away from gravity, and Z+ points north. A rotation about the Y+ axis creates a rotation counterclockwise from north.

Returns

If successful, a ARGeospatialAnchor, otherwise, null.

AddCloudReferencePoint

ARCloudReferencePoint AddCloudReferencePoint(
  this ARAnchorManager referencePointManager,
  ARAnchor referencePoint
)

Creates a new cloud reference point using an existing local Reference Point.

Deprecated. Please use HostCloudAnchor(ARAnchor) instead.

Details

Parameters

`referencePointManager`	The ARAnchorManager instance.
`referencePoint`	The local `ARAnchor` to be used as the basis to host a new cloud reference point.

Returns

If successful, a ARCloudReferencePoint, otherwise null.

EstimateFeatureMapQualityForHosting

FeatureMapQuality EstimateFeatureMapQualityForHosting(
  this ARAnchorManager anchorManager,
  Pose pose
)

Estimates the quality of the visual feature points seen by ARCore in the preceding few seconds and visible from the provided camera pose .

Cloud Anchors hosted using higher feature map quality will generally result in easier and more accurately resolved ARCloudAnchor poses. If feature map quality cannot be estimated for the given pose , a warning message "Failed to estimate feature map quality" with the error status is logged and FeatureMapQuality.Insufficient is returned.

Details

Parameters

`anchorManager`	The ARAnchorManager instance.
`pose`	The camera pose to use in estimating the quality.

Returns

The estimated feature map quality.

HostCloudAnchor

ARCloudAnchor HostCloudAnchor(
  this ARAnchorManager anchorManager,
  ARAnchor anchor
)

Creates a new Cloud Anchor using an existing local ARAnchor.

The sample code below illustrates how to host a Cloud Anchor.

private ARCloudAnchor _cloudAnchor;
void HostCloudAnchor(Pose pose)
{
    // Create a local anchor, you may also use another ARAnchor you already have.
    ARAnchor localAnchor = AnchorManager.AddAnchor(pose);
    // Request the Cloud Anchor.
    _cloudAnchor = AnchorManager.HostCloudAnchor(localAnchor);
}
void Update()
{
    if (_cloudAnchor)
    {
        // Check the Cloud Anchor state.
        CloudAnchorState cloudAnchorState = _cloudAnchor.cloudAnchorState;
        if (cloudAnchorState == CloudAnchorState.Success)
        {
            myOtherGameObject.transform.SetParent(_cloudAnchor.transform, false);
            _cloudAnchor = null;
        }
        else if (cloudAnchorState == CloudAnchorState.TaskInProgress)
        {
            // Wait, not ready yet.
        }
        else
        {
            // An error has occurred.
        }
    }
}

HostCloudAnchor

ARCloudAnchor HostCloudAnchor(
  this ARAnchorManager anchorManager,
  ARAnchor anchor,
  int ttlDays

Details

Parameters

`anchorManager`	The ARAnchorManager instance.
`anchor`	The local `ARAnchor` to be used as the basis to host a new Cloud Anchor.
`ttlDays`	The lifetime of the anchor in days. Must be positive. The maximum allowed value is 1 if using an API Key to authenticate with the ARCore Cloud Anchor service, otherwise the maximum allowed value is 365.

ResolveCloudAnchorId

ARCloudAnchor ResolveCloudAnchorId(
  this ARAnchorManager anchorManager,
  string cloudAnchorId
)

private ARCloudAnchor _cloudAnchor;
void ResolveCloudAnchor(string cloudAnchorId)
{
    // Request the Cloud Anchor.
    _cloudAnchor = AnchorManager.ResolveCloudAnchorId(cloudAnchorId);
}
void Update()
{
    if (_cloudAnchor)
    {
        // Check the Cloud Anchor state.
        CloudAnchorState cloudAnchorState = _cloudAnchor.cloudAnchorState;
        if (cloudAnchorState == CloudAnchorState.Success)
        {
            myOtherGameObject.transform.SetParent(_cloudAnchor.transform, false);
            _cloudAnchor = null;
        }

        {
            // Wait, not ready yet.

        else
        {
            // An error has occurred.
        }
