AR applications allow people to interact with the real world through digitally enhanced content. This AR Unity 3D book helps you demystify AR technology using your existing knowledge of Unity, enables you to build multiple AR projects with real-world utility and a professional workflow, and shows you how to use AR Foundation for building apps.
Explore the world of augmented reality development with the latest features of Unity and step-by-step tutorial-style examples with easy-to-understand explanations
Key Features
Build functional and interactive augmented reality applications using the Unity 3D game engine
Learn to use Unity's XR and AR components, including AR Foundation and other standard Unity features
Implement common AR application user experiences needed to build engaging applications
Book DescriptionAugmented reality applications allow people to interact meaningfully with the real world through digitally enhanced content.
The book starts by helping you set up for AR development, installing the Unity 3D game engine, required packages, and other tools to develop for Android (ARCore) and/or iOS (ARKit) mobile devices. Then we jump right into the building and running AR scenes, learning about AR Foundation components, other Unity features, C# coding, troubleshooting, and testing. We create a framework for building AR applications that manages user interaction modes, user interface panels, and AR onboarding graphics that you will save as a template for reuse in other projects in this book. Using this framework, you will build multiple projects, starting with a virtual photo gallery that lets you place your favorite framed photos on your real-world walls, and interactively edit these virtual objects. Other projects include an educational image tracking app for exploring the solar system, and a fun selfie app to put masks and accessories on your face. The book provides practical advice and best practices that will have you up and running quickly.
By the end of this AR book, you will be able to build your own AR applications, engaging your users in new and innovative ways.
