Overview of this book

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. Using a practical and project-based approach, Unity 2018 Augmented Reality Projects educates you about the specifics of augmented reality development in Unity 2018. This book teaches you how to use Unity in order to develop AR applications which can be experienced with devices such as HoloLens and Daydream. You will learn to integrate, animate, and overlay 3D objects on your camera feed, before gradually moving on to implementing sensor-based AR applications. In addition to this, you will explore the technical considerations that are especially important and possibly unique to AR. The projects in the book demonstrate how you can build a variety of AR experiences, whilst also giving insights into C# programming as well as the Unity 3D game engine via the interactive Unity Editor. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to develop rich, interactive augmented reality experiences for a range of AR devices and platforms using Unity.

To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, you should have some knowledge of the Unity Editor, UI, and build processes. In addition to this, it is highly advised that you have some skill with C# that is above the beginners' level, as this book does not go into how to write C# code. Lastly, it is suggested that you should have, at the very least, taken a look at other programming languages, such as Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, and Java, and are able to get the gist of what is happening with the code that you will encounter in this book at a glance.

The only requirements are basic knowledge of the Unity Game Engine and C#, as they are the primary focuses of this book.
