Submission: Bring art to life with AR

Learn to create marker-based AR apps, which make digital models appear over marker images in the real world. In the challenge, you’ll breathe life into a 2D work of art.

Beginner Mobile Optimization

 app is an application that can recognize images (called markers) in the real world and then make content appear in the app. You may have seen applications that use this kind of technology to make AR content for movie posters, product labels, card games, and even business cards.

In this project, you’ll make a marker-based app with a user interface that lets the user control a 3D model, text, and audio.

Submission: AR friend

Create with AR: markers and planes Quiz

Make an app that detects flat surfaces and allows the user to spawn a portal on their floor or wall. Then complete a challenge to create an interactive character app.

In this project, you’ll create an AR app that makes use of plane detection technology. iOS and Android devices have the ability to detect flat surfaces — or planes — in your physical environment. This includes horizontal planes like the floor or a table, and vertical planes like the walls. 

You will create an app where the user will be able to tap on a plane in order to place a portal onto it. This portal will be a window into a virtual 3D environment that the user can peer into and explore. 

You will also complete a challenge where you design an app that allows the user to place a character on a table and interact with it.

In this learning experience, you’ll port an existing desktop game to mobile and redesign it to be a fully functioning (and fun!) AR experience. You’ll conduct research, create a design document, modify visual scripts, and regularly playtest your app. At the conclusion of this project, you’ll also design and create your own fully realized AR application.

In this challenge, you'll create an interactive AR face filter for a hypothetical client to promote ocean conservation.

An environmental company is developing an educational app designed to help get middle school students (ages 11-13) interested in ocean conservation. The app will feature different types of interactive experiences; some will be directly educational, while others will be themed entertainment. You’ve been tasked with creating an ocean-themed AR face filter. Users should be able to choose from a selection of filter features to create their own custom look. 

The client recognizes that it is challenging to create deeply educational content through a face filter, but would like you to make it as educational as possible.

Your client is inspired by the visuals in this Underwater Snapchat filter. 

They like the immersiveness of the school of fish AR app, which allows the user to visualize fish swimming all around them.

They also really like the educational qualities of this Scuba Dive Simulator app, but recognize this is not an example of AR.

To successfully complete this challenge, you must meet the following requirements: 

1.  Your app must include at least three of the following features:

2.  You must provide three different choices for each of the features that you implement. For example, if you select particle effects, the user must be able to choose between three different effects in the filter.

Below is an example of the type of project you might make to fulfill these requirements, though yours could be completely different.

The example project uses the following assets from the Unity Asset Store:

Simple Boids (Flocks of birds, fish, and insects) by Nick Vesalov #NVJOB 

Here are some key things to consider as you work on your submission:

You’re free to reuse and modify any assets you used in this course in any way you like. You can also add extra assets of your own design or from resource sites such as the Unity Asset Store or Sketchfab. The only requirements are that the assets are ocean-themed and appropriate for the user age group.

Important: Make sure that you use any third-party assets in accordance with the license provided by the asset creator.

How will your users select the filter features? Design any UI elements that you wish to use and implement them in Unity. You can use the UI prefab from the previous project as a starting point, or design your own. If you need further resources on how to create user interfaces in Unity, Creative Core: UI is a great place to start.

Create the graphs that you need to make your app work. Remember to make separate graphs for each major part of the functionality to keep things organized and easy to understand. You can reuse and modify all of the graphs that you created in the previous project or design your own. If you need further resources on working with Visual Scripting, try our Introduction to Visual Scripting.

After you’ve fulfilled the requirements, please submit and share your project! Before you do though, make sure you’ve thoroughly playtested it — or even better, have a friend or family member playtest it.

Follow these instructions to submit your project: 

1.  Take a screenshot of your project, or do a screen-recording walking through it.

2.  Add a submission title and description. Make sure to include the video recording. If you have additional details to share about your process or the project that you have created, you can share them in the description too.

Note: If you aren’t comfortable recording your own face for the submission, you can point the camera at this illustrated face instead. AR Foundation registers this illustration as a valid face and will display your filters.

5.  Check your submission preview and then complete the CAPTCHA test and select Submit and continue. 

We highly recommend that you comment on at least one other creator's submission. Did they successfully complete the challenge? What do you like about the project? What would be a cool new feature they might consider adding?
