Native Android Implementation: Built for Performance

The new Android SDK has been architected specifically for the Android platform. It leverages Kotlin and modern development practices. This native-first approach delivers advantages that Android developers can immediately recognize:

• Seamless ARCore Integration: Deep integration with Google's ARCore platform ensures optimal tracking performance.
• Modern Architecture: Built with Kotlin coroutines, ViewModel, and lifecycle-aware components for better app performance.
• Optimized Resource Usage: Efficient memory management minimizes battery consumption, enhancing user experience.
• Material Design Compliance: UI components adhere to Android design guidelines for a consistent look and feel.

Instant Apps Support: Zero-Friction AR Experiences

The standout feature of MultiSet's Android SDK is its comprehensive support for Google Play Instant Apps. This integration transforms how users discover and interact with location-based AR content:

• Instant Access: Users can experience AR content immediately by scanning QR codes or tapping NFC tags.
• No Installation Required: Experiences load in seconds and stay within the 15MB Instant App limit.
• Seamless Transition: There is a natural upgrade path to full app installation for engaged users.
• URL-Addressable: AR experiences can be easily shared via standard web links.

This capability transforms AR into an ambient computing layer accessible anywhere. Retail stores can offer virtual try-ons, museums can provide interactive guides, and venues can deliver wayfinding—all without requiring app installation.
