Huawei AREngine (Unity version) series-1.AREngine introduction (including SDK)

1) What is AREngine?

      Huawei AREngine (Unity version) is a Huawei AR development SDK similar to ARCore and ARKit.

      Huawei AREngine is only applicable to mobile phones starting from the Huawei Mate20 series and the system is Hongmeng system. Because ARCore cannot run on Huawei phones after Mate20 or Hongmeng 3.0 system , if we want to develop AR applications on Huawei phones, we need to use Huawei’s own AREngine. (The author recommends that you use Mate20 to learn AR development, because Mate20 supports AREngine and can run ARCore, and it comes with the GooglePlay framework. To learn ARCore, you need to download Google Service For ARCore, which is also much more convenient.)

      In 2019 or 21, Huawei AREngine failed to negotiate cooperation with Unity, so there was no Unity version of AREngine SDK . Now Huawei AREngine recommends developers to use Android Studio to develop AREngine. But we know that developing AR applications in Unity is definitely more convenient than Android Studio , so if we want to use the Unity version of Huawei AREngine, we need to use the old version of Huawei AREngineUnity version package. But now the Unity version of AREngine can no longer be found on the official website of Huawei AREngine , so I need the author to share it with you!
