Augmented Reality AR with Unity & Vuforia for Android & iOS

We download and install the Unity software that we will need to create our apps with augmented reality (AR)

A quick presentation of the software we're going to use for augmented reality, Unity (Part 1)

We begin to learn about this fantastic program for our Augmented Reality (AR) projects (Part 2)

Let's create our first Augmented Reality project

We're going to register an account on the official Vuforia website and create a key for our project

We use an app to scan an image of a book to use as a target image

Let's go to our account in Vuforia to create a database with the image of the book we saved

Let's choose a character from the Unity Asset Store for our Augmented Reality (AR) application

Let's see how to set up our Android smartphone to enable developer options

We do the build on an Android smartphone to test our project

We create the build for iOS and we install Xcode and test the app on a iPhone (or iPad)

We make more realistic the model on the target image by adding a shadow

The presentation of what we're going to do in this new project with images target and Vuforia

We set up the new Augmented Reality project in Unity

We go to create the Project Key for the new project and the database with the Images to recognize

We start working with the first image target of the second project, the sun

In this lesson we create the second image target with a house that appears above a lawn

In this lesson we set the third target image and insert the sea and the boat

Let's create the script with the code to make the boat move

In this lesson we are going to set up and study the script that monitors when the image is recognized and when it is lost

We set the code that will make the boat move only when the image is recognized

In this lesson we add the code to return the boat to the beginning of the sheet every time it reaches the end of it - Part 1

In this lesson we add the code to return the boat to the beginning of the sheet every time it reaches the end of it - Part 2

We create a material to make the wall invisible

Let's set up a new image target with a sports car that turn around

We create the lights for our sports car

Let's complete the effects for the lights of our sports car

In this lesson we create the script for the recognition of the image target tracking and we implement the code to make the lights appear and disappear when the image is docked or lost (Part 1)

In this lesson we create the script for the recognition of the image target tracking and we implement the code to make the lights appear and disappear when the image is docked or lost (Part 2)

Let's set a new image target, the forest

We import and set forest elements in our scene, trees, rocks, flowers, grass...

We are going to download characters from the Asset Store and insert a log splitter in our forest

We create a script that makes the woodcutter clickable

Let's set the code to start the lumberjack animation only on the click

In this lesson we lengthen the timing of the character's animation and then at the end of the animation we reset its rotation to the original position

We set a new image target, this time will be a spaceship with a flaming tail

We move the spaceship and when it reaches the end of the sheet we make it reappear at it's initial position

We import the first asteroid and make it move and go back in the original position when it reaches the end of the sheet

In this lesson we make the asteroid roll on itself and then we add a second one to the scene

Let's go back to the first image target, the one with the sun and add our earth that goes around the sun

We insert a sphere to the image target of the house that starts from the top and rolls depending on how the sheet is folded

In this lesson we create the scripts that serve to give gravity to the sphere and make it reappear in the last position it was in

We add a nice headlight effect to our car and let the rear lights flash

We are going to set the last image target for the cover of our book

We add a fire effect under the writing and also we add a subtitle

A rundown of all the image targets created in this second project

We create the image database on Vuforia and import it into our project

Let's go to Google's Blocks site to import two items for our postcard

We insert the code to make the heart spin around and we make it clickable

We put the write "Click Me" which then will disappears when clicked on the heart and we create the animation to bring the UFO down on the postcard

We show and then hide a text at the end of the animation

We set a plan and a 3D writing on the right postcard

We create the scripts to start a music every time we open the postcard and make it stop each time we close it

We add the new image to the Vuforia database and import the new target image postcard

We begin to shape our carousel, part one

The second part of the lesson in which we build our carousel

Let's start to give some movement to the carousel

We write the code to spin the light in the Base1 spheres

We create a colored roof for our carousel

We move horses through scripts

We add music that starts whenever the carousel appears

Presentation and setting up of the new project, a video viewer

We go to the Asset Store to get the 3d TV, we import it into the project and we show the first video in it

We create the buttons that will help us change the videos on the TV

We create the 3 scripts that we will need to make the three buttons start the videos on the TV

We are going to modify the scripts to be able to block the videos if they are already active

We are going to discover and use the User Defined Image Target

Let's go get a character, a zombie, and an animation where he dances and we import him into our scene

Let's set the animation for the zombie

We modify the canvas to improve the appearance of the app

We prepare the cylinder to be used for our application

Let's set up the new project for the Cylindrical Target

We create the database with the image in Vuforia and import it into Unity

We import the planes from the Asset Store into our project and run them around the cylinder

We import the zombie, we make it run and we associate the animation with the run

We make the custom settings for the new project

We set up the Ground Plane and put a robot to test

We are going to import a custom-made animation for our robot and test it again

We create the build in an iPhone 7 Plus and test it

We put a full-size car in the scene and test it with an iPhone 7 Plus by placing it in the street

First part of the lesson in which we deal with Mid Air and float a drone in the air

Let's continue with Vuforia's Mid Air lesson with Unity
