Rapidly Build 12 iPhone/Android Augmented Reality (AR) Apps (Udemy.com)

IMPORTANT:

(1) There are several compatibility issues with Unity 2018, so, please download this version of Unity: 2017.2.0f3

(2) The 3D models used in the course will eventually get updated/deleted  at the Unity Asset store but there will always be new models to use, so, use your imagination and go wild!

Augmented Reality is the future

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.  

Though still in its infancy, AR is poised to enter the mainstream; according to one estimate, spending on AR technology will hit $60 billion in 2020.

• How to add various Visual Effects such as explosions, fog, snow, ocean water, fire, gunfire and more.

• How to add 3D text, sound effects and music to your AR Apps.  

• How to build a story narrative by creating animated AR cut scenes.  

• How to create “user defined target” Apps which does not require a pre-defined marker.  

List of Augmented Reality (AR) Apps You Will Create

1. Drag and Drop AR App
With this AR App, you can manipulate AR objects by using touch gestures; we will create an AR App which could be used to move, scale and rotate 3D furniture in your room.

2. Augmented Reality Business Card
An interactive and dynamic AR business card with multiple video players (with pause button) which may be used to showcase your company’s capabilities.

3. User Defined Target - Markerless Augmented Reality App
This App does not require a pre-defined marker to generate an AR object and the user is free to choose any target close to him/her. This provides a lot of flexibility and significantly improves the “user-friendliness” of your AR Apps.

4. Augmented Reality Book
Learn how to create AR books which come alive with animated characters, animals and objects. AR books are becoming extremely popular and it is great time to learn how to build them.

5. Augmented Reality Minimalist Christmas Card
We will create a stylish and cool Minimalist AR Christmas card with animated snow, 3D text and music. After creating this AR card, you will be able to create virtually any type of AR greeting cards.

6. Augmented Reality Animated Cut Scene
You will learn how to create a full-fledged cut scene with “animated characters”. This will enable you to create computer generated (CG) animations for computer games, advertising and films.
