http://tosolini.com - Tosolini Productions presents an augmented reality illusion leveraging ARCore and a Matterport model. 
ARCore is Google’s mobile platform for augmented reality content, focused on attaching virtual objects to real world spaces. 

Here, we utilize ARCore’s newly released Augmented Images capability and Unity3d to track a portal setup to an image on a laptop screen. 

The image on the screen (planet Earth, in this case) is used to activate and keep the model aligned as the phone moves freely within the space. The portal’s selective rendering helps create a sense of depth, forming the illusion of a box that recedes into the computer screen. This experiment runs on an Android device.
