Hello.

I am currently developing an app that uses AR Core’s Geospatial API and I would like to add ARDK’s semantic segmentation feature to it.

I need to use ARFoundation and ARDK together, and I have tried various methods, but I am not able to display the Geospatial API and semantic segmentation results on the screen at the same time.

I have looked at some of the past postings, but in general it seems like “not impossible, but not recommended due to many glitches”, so I am not sure if it is possible.

I would like to know if ARFoundation and ARDK can be used together, and if so, how to achieve this.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hello KR\_2000,

Thank you for your patience.

Unfortunately ARFoundation and ARDK cannot be used together, it would have to be one or the other. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi @KR_2000,

Check out this video of a guy using ARDK and Manomotion at the same time [Building an AR App from scratch - DevLog 1 - YouTube](https://youtu.be/1WA7eJ1-Xt4?t=191) You could try something similar with AR Foundation and see if that works. I will also try it myself in a few days/weeks and let you know.
