This is a technical demonstration of using ArcGIS Maps SDK inside Unreal Engine 5.

This tutorial starts with ArcGIS already installed. To learn how to install the plugin: https://developers.arcgis.com/unreal-...

To follow along with this tutorial you will need to sign up for an early access account with ESRI and ArcGIS as well as an ArcGIS developer account. These are free to set up and are used to test the plugin in its beta version.

Thank you for taking the time to watch this tutorial/overview, I hope you find it useful for your projects. This workflow is very exciting as using GIS data within game engines in combination with AI could be useful in helping solve real world problems with virtual simulations using digital twins.

I will continue to explore this plugin and post updates to my experiments and findings. To learn more about ESRI check out the link below:
