Create Augmented Reality Application

What do I need to create an augmented reality application?

Introduction

If you're thinking about creating an augmented reality application, it's important that you understand the requirements. The most important thing is that your device must support AR technologies. You can find out if your phone or tablet supports Vuforia or Google Tango by visiting the manufacturer's website or downloading an app like "Device Info" from the App Store or Google Play Store (depending on your device).

A smartphone or tablet (the AR app will only work on Apple's iOS 11 and newer iPhones, iPads and iPods, Android smartphones and tablets with the Google Play Store installed, or Microsoft HoloLens)

To make an augmented reality app, you will need a smartphone or tablet (the AR app will only work on Apple's iOS 11 and newer iPhones, iPads and iPods, Android smartphones and tablets with the Google Play Store installed, or Microsoft HoloLens).

The best way to learn how to create an augmented reality application is by taking a course on Udacity.com. There are many different courses available for both Unity3D and Vuforia (the two most popular choices). You can also find plenty of resources online that explain how each technology works in detail if you want something even more detailed than what's covered in these videos!

A computer running Unity3D 2017.3

To create an augmented reality application and run it on your device, you need to have a computer running Unity3D 2017.3 or higher. You will also need a Google Cardboard VR headset and an Android phone with Google Play Services installed (or an iPhone with iTunes).

The Vuforia Engine SDK for Unity

The Vuforia Engine SDK for Unity is the best way to create an augmented reality app. It's available on the Unity Asset Store, so you can download and install it quickly. You'll also need a smartphone or tablet (the AR app will only work on Apple's iOS 11 and newer iPhones, iPads and iPods, Android smartphones and tablets with the Google Play Store installed, or Microsoft HoloLens)

Once you've got all that setup under your belt—and if you're using a Mac computer like me—you're ready to get started!

You can use a lot of different devices to view AR apps.

The first thing to consider when creating an augmented reality app is what kind of device you'll be using it on. If you're just getting started with AR, the best bet would be a phone or tablet—but it can also work on other devices like smart glasses or head-mounted displays (HMDs).

• Smartphones: The most popular way to view AR apps is through your phone's camera and display. You can use any smartphone running iOS 11 or higher and Android 7+ with an HMD that supports Google Daydream VR app. This includes the Google Pixel 2 XL, Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Note 9/S10e/S20e etc., LG G7 ThinQ Phablet Phone , Nokia 6 plus phablet phone , Huawei P30 Pro phablet phone .
• Tablets: There are many different tablets available in the market today so finding one that suits your needs may not be easy but there are some good options out there like Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Tablets with S Pen stylus pen support which makes writing notes easier without having to take out your phone every time!
