Glossary

The following terms have precise in-house meanings (that are usually identical to the common scientific meaning of the term, if such exists):

Pose​

Unity Pose of an object, comprising .position and .rotation fields.

Entity​

Primitive data type defined by ConjureKit that represents a virtual asset or session participant inside of the session's (relative) coordinate system.

EntityAction​

Stores an arbitrary property associated with an Entity in the form of a string-byte[] key-value pair.

Session​

Abstracts a Hagall multi-user networked AR session. A session provides co-located participants with coherent relative positioning such that the same virtual objects appear in the same physical location for all participants.

Participant​

A device within a session.

Native SLAM​

"SLAM" stands for "Simultaneous Location and Mapping".

Mobile devices provide native SLAM capabilities that interface with ARFoundation, and that drive the pose of participant Entities inside of ConjureKit Sessions.
