This is the code repository for Unity 2018 Augmented Reality Projects, published by Packt.
Build four immersive and fun AR applications using ARKit, ARCore, and Vuforia
Augmented Reality allows for radical innovations in countless areas. It magically blends the physical and virtual worlds, bringing applications from a screen into your hands. Meanwhile, Unity has now become the leading platform to develop augmented reality experiences, as it provides a great pipeline for working with 3D assets.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Build and run AR applications for specific headsets, including HoloLens and Daydream
- Create 3D scenes with Unity and other 3D tools while learning about world space and scale
- Move around your AR scenes using locomotion and teleportation
- Create filters or overlays that work in tandem with facial recognition software
- Use GPS, geolocation services, and the camera feed to create a fitness application
