ARCore Virtual Forest
A quick ARCore test where users tap to place randomized trees, rocks, and bushes onto detected planes to build their own virtual forest.

A test of the ARCore Unity plugin on a Galaxy S8 running ARCore Dev Preview 2. The app lets you tap to place randomized low-poly objects — trees, rocks, and bushes — onto detected planes to build a virtual forest in your real environment.
Plane detection works well once you move the phone laterally to help the algorithm find flat surfaces; holding still delays acquisition. Several tree types appear in the demo: bushy round-topped trees, minimal cube-form trees, and a layered conical pine. Objects respect the detected plane and cast shadows that match the room lighting.
