Unity and Google are committed to making augmented reality (AR) mainstream. As we continue to work together towards that goal, let’s take a moment to celebrate this year’s advancements and where handheld AR is going in the next 12 months.

Unity和Google致力于使增强现实(AR)成为主流。 在我们朝着这个目标继续努力的过程中，让我们花点时间庆祝今年的进步以及未来12个月手持式AR的发展趋势。

Throughout 2018, Google and Unity collaborated to expand the possibilities of ARCore development on Unity. ARCore released near monthly updates to enhance its featureset, helping pave the way for standout games like Ghostbusters World and Jurassic World™ Alive. Unity focused its efforts on the introduction of the AR Foundation framework, a common API that makes it even easier to create AR experiences. While you may be familiar with some of the enhancements, let’s take a quick look at the evolution of ARCore on Unity:

在整个2018年，Google和Unity协作以扩大在Unity上进行ARCore开发的可能性。 ARCore将近每月发布一次更新，以增强其功能集，从而为Ghostbusters World和Jurassic World™Alive等出色游戏铺平道路。 Unity将精力集中在引入AR Foundation框架上， AR Foundation框架是一个通用API，使创建AR体验更加容易。 尽管您可能熟悉其中的一些增强功能，但让我们快速看一下ARCore on Unity的演变：

未来是什么 (What’s ahead)

Looking forward to the next 12 months, ARCore development on Unity will continue to evolve in exciting new ways. While many of the details around specific features and timing is hush-hush, here are a few things you can look forward to next year:

展望未来的12个月，ARCore在Unity上的开发将继续以令人兴奋的新方式发展。 虽然围绕特定功能和时间的许多细节都是悄悄话，但您可以期待明年一些注意事项：

AR Foundation

AR基金会

After adding support for ARCore and the release of a few features in 2018, you can expect Unity’s AR Foundation to mature in 2019. This framework will expand beyond handheld AR development and include wearable AR development. This will make AR development easier across industries and use cases. We’ll continue to share more details on this developments over the course of the year.

在添加了对ARCore的支持并在2018年发布了一些功能之后，您可以期望Unity的AR Foundation在2019年成熟。此框架将扩展到手持式AR开发之外，并包括可穿戴式AR开发。 这将使跨行业和用例的AR开发更加容易。 在这一年中，我们将继续分享有关此事发展的更多细节。

Scaling up device support

扩大设备支持

Making sure ARCore is widely available is key for maintaining a healthy ecosystem that supports your handheld AR projects. Expect Google to rollout support for even more devices next year, expanding upon the already 250 million globally supported devices.

确保ARCore广泛可用对于维护支持手持式AR项目的健康生态系统至关重要。 预计Google明年将推出对更多设备的支持，以扩大已经支持的 2.5亿个全球支持的设备 。

Connected experiences

互联体验

If 2018’s release of ARCore Cloud Anchors and the announce of Unity’s partnership with Google Cloud on Connected Games isn’t telling enough, we’re all-in on helping creators make connected experiences. Next year, Unity will open up access to mobile Connected Games services including matchmaking, game hosting, and much more.

如果2018年发布的ARCore Cloud Anchors以及Unity与Google Cloud on Connected Games的合作伙伴关系的宣告还不够充分，那么我们将全力以赴帮助创作者创造互联体验。 明年，Unity将开放对移动互联游戏服务的访问，其中包括对接会，游戏托管等。
