Vuforia provides [[Application Programming Interface]]s (API) in [[C++]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Objective-C]], and the [[.NET Framework|.Net]] languages through an extension to the [[Unity game engine]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/api/index | title=Vuforia SDK Native - Android & iOS API Reference | work=Vuforia Developer}}</ref> In this way, the SDK supports both native development for iOS and Android while also enabling the development of AR applications in Unity that are easily portable to both platforms. AR applications developed using Vuforia are therefore compatible with a broad range of mobile devices including the [[iPhone]] ( [[IPhone 4|4]]/[[IPhone 4S|4S]] ), [[iPad]], and [[Android phone]]s and tablets running [[Android OS]] version 2.2 or greater and an [[ARMv6]] or 7 processor with FPU ([[Floating Point Unit]]) processing capabilities.
