Google Cloud & Microsoft Azure Spatial Anchors for Mobile AR Overview

As a follow up to our previous multiplayer self hosting video, I wanted to take a look at how you could integrate it into an ARKit or ARCore application. I thought AR Cloud Anchors would be a pretty good showcase and learning experience, and then I remembered I don't have access to multiple AR phones.
So instead, here is an overview comparing briefly some of the research I was doing with Google Cloud Anchors and Microsoft Spatial Anchors into a short overview video.

Thanks for the summary. The Azure example isn't specifically multiplayer but would allow you to call anchors across devices

[@hamzzashaffi]

Never used cloud anchors but now I'll definitely dive deep into it. Thanks for the video!

[@FusedVR]

Awesome, would love to see what you end up building :)

[@leong.1270]

Big Thanks for this Video! This realy helped me to choose the tool i will use in my current projekt.

[@FusedVR]

glad it helpped

[@mohammadrasoulfard-habibi3066]

great channel, How much to put a persistent cloud anchor? many thanks

[@alexandruxmaris]

Great stuff

[@FusedVR]

thanks!

[@0GRANATE0]

One of my questions which never got solved was: How big can the room be where I try to save anchors? Imagine a big shoping mal, could I have anchors on multiple floors in the same session?

[@astralartz2478]

Just rewatching these videos - Niantic Lightship is now an alternative too.

[@FusedVR]

very true

[@far-red]

Kind of too general/ surface level/ obvious comparison, what make sense is to see what they each can do (as in google and azure) do they complement each other or are they they same...

[@robottinkeracademy]

I have used Apple Geo-locations, they aren't available everywhere for some reason.

[@FusedVR]

it should be right? because it doesnt rely on the cloud and is instead peer to peer?

[@robottinkeracademy]

@@FusedVR the peer to peer is used with world tracking but geo-location is all cloud spatial data.

[@FusedVR]

@@robottinkeracademy ah i see, ill have to read more about that. im assuming even in this case, Apple doesnt provide their own cloud so it would still need to be synced on another provider right?

[@sergeiromanoff]

Microsoft is more transparent with pricing.. but it's about 7000 times more expensive than google in the first paid tier! Am I missing something?
