Augmented reality is a type of technology that has been around for several years. It uses augmented graphics to enhance the user’s experience with their mobile phone, and it can be used in many different ways. The augmented reality compatible smartphones listed below are all available on either iOS or Android devices, making them perfect for anyone who wants to use augmented reality apps!

As a developer, it’s also important to note that if you have a Mac, you could deploy your augmented reality app on either an Android or iOS device. However, if you only have a Windows PC you will only be able to develop for Android platforms.

These are the compatible devices you could consider when developing an app using Unity’s Vuforia plugin.

X-Code Computer Compatibility

You can use either a Mac or a Windows computer when developing for an Android platform. However, if you want to develop the app for an iOS platform, then you will need a Mac computer with X-Code on it (X-code is only available on a Mac computer). X-code is the only deployment app that will allow you to deploy an iOS app.

Unity can be run on both Mac and Windows systems, but it will be important to note that Vuforia Fusion is only compatible with Windows. Vuforia VISLAM and Target are both supported on Mac systems, but it will be important to note that they do not support augmented reality mobile games.
