Youtube Tutorial

To get hands on with unity I went on Youtube to understand how to create AR apps using unity.
I found this tutorial on how to make an Augmented Reality App in just 6 mins! 

He explains what are the requirements that are needed to create a functioning AR app and how to program it. The video was easy to understand and I recommend it to anyone who's like me getting their first hands on experience in AR and unity.

The Youtube Channel that I visited was: MatthewHallberg.



This tutorial led me to finding another software  plugin that is used to create AR called Vuforia which I will explain in my next post.

3.3            Interaction with AR Object using Leap Motion For this experiment, Leap Motion sensor is used with an older version of Unity 5.51f1 along with LeapMotion_CoreAssets_4.1.6 and Interaction_Engine_0.3.1. Open a new project on Unity 5.5, Step 1: Import the Packages “LeapMotion_CoreAssets_4.1.6” and “Interaction_Engine_0.3.1” into the project file. Step 2: Find the “Leap_Hands_Demo_Desktop” scene under Leap Motion > Examples > Scenes and open the scene. Step 3: Create a 3D object Plane and position it (0, 0, 0) on (x, y, z) axes. Step 4: Create a two 3D Object Cube and scale it appropriately and place it on the plane. Step 5 : Create Materials to differentiate the colors of the cube from each other and assign them accordingly. Also Click on Add component to add the Rigid Body script to each of them individually. Step 6: Find the “InteractionManager” Prefab and drag it onto the main hierarchy. Step 7:   Expand the Hand
