The SDK is the result of a long-standing collaboration between Esri and Epic Games. ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine offers a set of tools for bringing data from ArcGIS directly into the Unreal Engine 5 development environment.Įsri has released version 1.0 of the ArcGIS Maps SDK (Software Development Kit) for Unreal Engine, which is designed to enable developers to build ‘world-scale’ AR, tabletop AR, and VR experiences for a range of sectors including AEC, utilities, and transportation.Īccording to Euan Cameron CTO, developer technology at Esri, the SDK will allow developers to use the Unreal Engine 5 game engine to create new classes of applications around their data, creating immersive ways to visualize and interact with real-world GIS assets that complement their current workflows.
