Summary

In this project, we'll examine the technologies that led to another key moment in the history of XR—Pokemon GO—which brought Augmented Reality to the masses and made it a mainstream concept. We will highlight the technologies that AR and MR share in common with VR, and also cover additional technologies that only AR and MR use, and discuss the various AR and MR frameworks available for working with AR in Unity.
 

Project Objective

 
Describe the technologies related to AR and MR and explain how they are used
Go into more detail about holographic AR vs ‘in video AR,’ which is really MR
Describe what ‘spatial computing’ means
Describe specific features in Unity that allow you to work with AR and MR
Describe AR vendor SDKs and what is built into Unity Native API [TBD which ones]
Describe AR API features and which ones are supported by which SDKs
Determine what safety concerns an AR or MR app might have for users and bystanders
Describe how GPS can be used with mapping APIs to generate world scale AR/MR apps
Discuss what types of emerging AR UX paradigms you see in common apps
Create a visual representation of a software application such as a user flow diagram or wireframes.
