Learn Augmented Reality—Top Vuforia Tutorials For Beginner— [Updated 2020]

Augmented Reality Software Development Kit (SDK) for mobile devices to create Augmented Reality applications.

Augmented reality (AR) is the real-time use of information in the form of 3D models, text, graphics, audio and other virtual enhancements integrated with real-world objects. It is this “real world” element that differentiates AR from virtual reality. AR integrates and adds value to the user’s interaction with the real world, versus a simulation.

Augmented reality starts with a camera-equipped device — such as a smartphone, a tablet, or smart glasses — loaded with AR software. When a user points the device and looks at an object, the software recognizes it through computer vision technology, which analyzes the video stream.

Pioneering organizations, including GE, Mayo Clinic, and the U.S. Navy, are using AR to improve productivity, quality, and training. By combining the strengths of humans and machines, AR will dramatically increase value creation.

Develop 11 Augmented Reality (AR) applications including using Unity & Vuforia.

Learn the basics fundamentals and programming techniques required for building fully functional Augmented Reality Apps. For this course you will need an Android Smartphone or iPhone.

Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are “augmented” by computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

In Augmented Reality the real view is modified by a computer (Smartphone in this case). Augmented reality enhances one’s current perception of reality, whereas in contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation techniques are basically performed in real time, such as Displaying live scores and statistics inside a live video of a sporting event

Vuforia platform seemed very promising as developers all over the World have used Vuforia for developing Augmented Reality apps. Pokemon Go game is the best example of Augmented Reality. Other than that Augmented Reality apps expand over a wide range of topics from Education, Business, Architecture, Health Industry, Home Decoration and obviously mobile gaming.

This course is designed for students interested in creating Augmented Reality apps. No coding experience is required; all you need is an Android or iOS device for testing your Augmented Reality apps. We will start from basics of Unity, C# platform and then move to higher topics

In the first section you will first understand as to what is Augmented Reality? Next we will look at the four different augmented reality techniques and its application. After this I will explain you what is Virtual Reality and the differences between Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR).

After understanding Augmented Reality next we will look at the basics of Unity as Unity is the main software which we will use for building Augmented Reality apps.

ARONE is the first Augmented Reality Application which you are going to create. In this app you will

Create Vuforia account

Create License Key for the AR app

Upload an Image as Image Target

Understand Vuforia Image Recognition system

Solution to White Image Target problem in Vuforia version 6.2.10

Download 3D model from Unity Asset Store

Place 3D Model on top of Image Target

Download ARONE app database from Vuforia and activate it inside Unity

Build this app for Android & Ios

Virtual Button & Augmented Reality Business Card (AR Business Card) section you will learn the concept of Virtual Button in Vuforia and the six important factors that should be considered while working with Virtual Button.

Next you will create a simple Virtual Button app called Augmented Reality Virtual Button in which you will understand the important function & interface that are required for working with Virtual Button.

After the AR Virtual Button app we will then create and AR Business Card. In the AR Business Card app you will first place multiple virtual buttons on top of an Image Target. Next it will show you how to play video file inside Unity, After this we will write a C# script to play a particular video when the virtual button for a particular video is pressed.
