Are you aware of the Google’s mega move towards Augmented Reality Technology? Do you know who the competitors of Apple’s ARkit are? Do you still wonder about the most popping term Augmented Reality?

Recently, after the launch of Apple ARkit platform for iOS; Google, being one among the top firms wishing to be the next big augmented reality company has also announced similar platform for Android known as ARCore.
