World Map is the space-mapping state and set of anchors from a world-tracking Augmented Reality session for ARKit and ARCore frameworks.
The session state in a World Map includes awareness of the physical space the user moves the iOS or Android device in (which arkit or arcore frameworks use to determine the device's position and orientation), as well as many Anchor objects added to the session (which can represent detected real-world features or virtual content placed by your app).
World Map is useful for Multiuser AR experiences and Persistent AR experiences for arkit or arcore frameworks.
