They allow you to build standalone native applications that work with ArcGIS services, web maps and web scenes, as well as supporting full offline capabilities (whether that’s taking web maps and services offline, or working directly with local files and packages). We have ArcGIS Runtime SDKs for .NET<\/a>, Android<\/a>, iOS<\/a>, Qt<\/a>, and Java<\/a> which, depending on the SDK you pick, let you build apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS.<\/p>\n Tuesday, July 12th<\/sup>, 4pm – 5pm PDT, SDCC Room 01 AB<\/p>\n This session serves as a great introduction to the Runtime SDKs, their capabilities, why you should use them, and an overview of the API. It’s ideal for developers new to ArcGIS Runtime as well as managers and program managers evaluating the technology.<\/p>\n Thursday, July 14th<\/sup>, 1pm – 2pm PDT, SDCC Room 07 AB<\/p>\n This session provides a summary of the latest capabilities we’ve added to ArcGIS Runtime and is a good way to bring yourself up-to-speed with the current state of the Runtime SDKs. It also covers our plans for the next few releases and typically includes a bunch of cool demos. The Road Ahead session is not recorded, so make sure to fit this into your schedule if you need to know our roadmap and plans (although you could get a head start by checking out this blog post<\/a>).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" The ArcGIS Maps SDKs are brand new products designed to bring ArcGIS directly into the Unity and Unreal Engine experiences. Game engines provide immersive, photorealistic environments to explore your GIS data. In addition to building apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, game engines also support specialized AR and VR devices, which can open up whole new ways of looking at, interacting with, and understanding your geospatial data that would otherwise be hard to do.<\/p>\n Tuesday, July 12th<\/sup>, 2:30pm – 3:30pm PDT, ADCC Room 03<\/p>\n Attend this session to learn all about the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity. You’ll learn about their architecture, capabilities, how they integrate with the Unity and Unreal Engine tools, and what our goals and roadmap are for these new SDKs. You’ll also see some hands on demos showing real-world data being brought straight into these immersive 3D and XR experiences. This is a great session whether you’re a developer, or a manager looking to understand whether the ArcGIS Maps SDKs are right for you.<\/p>\n Thursday July 14th<\/sup>, 2:30pm – 3:30pm PDT, SDCC Room 31 ABC<\/p>\n This session will present an overview of Esri’s vision on how XR applies to GIS. We’ll discuss how Esri technology can be used to power VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) experiences across a variety of industries, including demos of both Unity and Unreal Engine with mobile devices and headsets such as Microsoft HoloLens and Oculus Quest.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" Tuesday (9am – 6pm) Stop by the ArcGIS Developers area on the Expo floor to meet engineers working on the Runtime SDKs and Maps SDKs.
