Augmented Reality Picture Frames and Portal Art with Unity

Do you want to learn how to create immersive augmented reality experiences using your own custom picture frames? This course is perfect for you! In this course, you will learn how to use the Unity game engine and Vuforia to create augmented reality portals and picture frames.

Suitable for intermediate creators with some experience with Unity and art-making, this course will take you through the process of creating a basic image, enhancing it with augmentations, and using 3D objects, animation, visual effects, and sound to make your art more immersive. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in using augmented reality to take your art making practice to the next level.

The course is structured as follows:

• Setup Unity: In this step, you will learn how to install and set up the Unity game engine, which is the software we will be using to create our augmented reality picture frame.

• Import Vuforia: Vuforia is a software development kit (SDK) that enables the creation of augmented reality (AR) applications. In this step, you will learn how to import Vuforia into your Unity project, which will allow you to use its features to create AR experiences.

• Setup Image Target: An image target is a physical object that serves as a reference point for the AR experience. In this step, you will learn how to set up an image target in Unity, which will allow you to anchor your AR content to a specific point in the real world.

• Make a Scene container with Probuilder: Probuilder is a tool in Unity that allows you to create and edit 3D geometry in your project. In this step, you will learn how to use Probuilder to create a scene container, which will hold all of the AR content for your picture frame.

• Mask out the scene with a portal: A portal is a special type of object that serves as a gateway between different parts of an AR experience. In this step, you will learn how to create a portal in Unity using Probuilder, which will allow you to mask out the AR content in your picture frame.

• Build a scene with 3D assets and polybrush: Polybrush is a tool in Unity that allows you to paint 3D geometry with different materials and textures. In this step, you will learn how to use polybrush to build and customize the AR scene for your picture frame, using 3D assets and other visual effects.

• Adding Animation and Visual Effects: To make your augmented reality picture frame even more immersive, you can add animation and visual effects. In this step, you will learn how to create custom animations and add visual effects such as particle systems and shaders.

• Adding Sound: Sound is an important element in any immersive experience, and you can use it to add an extra layer of immersion to your augmented reality picture frame. In this step, you will learn how to add sound effects and music to your scene to create a fully-realized audio experience.

Throughout the course, you will be guided step-by-step by a knowledgeable instructor who will provide you with clear explanations and demonstrations. You will also have access to course materials, including downloadable assets, to help you follow along and practice on your own.

By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge necessary to create immersive augmented reality picture frames using Unity and Vuforia.
