Leveraging sensors with plugins

As previously stated, we can access the information provided by any exposed piece of hardware and send that information to our applications and/or games we create within Unity. The catch is that if there isn’t an implementation within Unity or the SDKs we are using for AR applications, we will need to create a plugin with a wrapper to access that sensor.

This is also heavily dependent on which devices we want to target and whether we want to target both iOS and Android-based devices without any implementations done for us. If so, then we need to create the plugin ourselves. We can’t just write a plugin in C#, though; we would need native plugins to call upon these sensors to do our bidding. This means that ...
