So ultimately the reason ARKit is better is because Apple could afford to do the work to tightly couple the VIO algorithms to the sensors and spend *a lot* of time calibrating them to eliminate errors / uncertainty in the pose calculations.
…e well understood in the industry, and there are quite a few implementations already in the market. So the fact that Apple uses VIO doesn’t mean much in itself. We need to look at why their system is so robust.
