Background: I've never been especially tech savvy, but a couple months ago took a sudden interest in this kinda thing. I've been learning more from trial and error than study, the hands-on approach, so have very little knowledge of things like terminology and proper method even in regards to the things I can reliably do. This tends to result in situations where I have all the pieces to the puzzle but can't quite see how they fit, or look up the answer. I think I'm in one now and, having recently reinstalled Reddit, would rather ask for help than beat my head against a wall for a few hours. I'm trying to install a patch for an .apk (Found here: https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/arcore-patch). that calls for use of adb, as well as a handful of other things. Most of these I either have or can likely get on Termux. I'm just not entirely sure if this is a thing I can use Termux for, and if so how. Can I run Termux packages via what I think is called an adb shell, or run the shell via Termux? Looking it up I found a few things that would suggest so (Such as: https://technastic.com/adb-fastboot-android/?), but they're mostly in regards to doing so on another phone instead of your own, and don't really mention the wireless adb option; which is absolutely fucking great aside from the fact that it's almost always ignored by exaltly these kinda things that it would be awesome for. So, to recap: I have Termux, I have most of the things I need in the form of Termux packages, and I have apps that let me run an adb shell on myself via wifi. How exactly do I combine these things to accomplish the task at hand?

I don't know houw you would do it on ios but you should be able to do it on android if the phone supports it with.this library from google: https://developers.google.com/ar

once that is done, you need to download the apk for the ARCore, wget https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/releases/download/sdk-preview2/arcore-preview2.apk

Clone this repo and open Android Studio on the hello_ar directory. https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/tree/master/samples/hello_ar_kotlin

I haven’t developed AR in Unity, but scanning a marker with ARCore (native android) is actually very easy. Here’s some samples: https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/tree/master/samples

Found a fix. I found out v1.27.0 is the latest working version. I downloaded it from github

If you have any control on the choice of the source/webcam, I'd recommend using a camera that can sense depth from the start (lidar cameras, like Intel RealSense if you are building something like a commercial robot; or a consumer device with lidar capabilities like iPad Pros since 2020, because they come with SDKs to do what you want from the start. E.g. https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/arkit/ or https://developers.google.com/ar/ or android devices). The problem is that without first-hand depth information, you need some way to guess that: you can train vision models to estimate coarse depth (e.g. https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_CVPRW_2019/papers/Deep%20Vision%20Workshop/Ren_Deep_Robust_Single_Image_Depth_Estimation_Neural_Network_Using_Scene_CVPRW_2019_paper.pdf) but I am not sure if they are "exact" enough for your use case.

You guys are right that Unity doesn't support building for arm64 Linux. It looks like the op could potentially install Android on the Raspberry Pi, which may allow them to run Android APKs built with Unity. However, AR Core is needed in order for Unity's AR functionality to work, and I suspect it would take additional work to get AR Core working on the Pi with an external camera and gyroscope.

If the phone doesn't support ARCore, then you would have to implement all of the world / surface detection yourself inside your application code, which is very difficult problem to solve.
