mock AR device in editor?

Hi,

I am complete UE noob, I hope my question will make sense.

If I want to test out an AR project, do I need to build it and deploy it on a device every single time? Or is there a mock device in the editor that allows for testing without having to build and deploy?

Thanks.

Yeah, its so annoying waiting 4-5 min every time to build to phone :frowning:

I emulate AR on PC builds of my apps by creating a fake ground plane on which objects can be placed. You can check if AR is supported at run-time to do this. You need to also implement some former of camera control to look around with mouse/controller.

I have to to build and deploy (remotely) to test each iteration on my iPhone, how pray tell do you exactly emulate AR on PC using fake ground plane?
