In this augmented reality tutorial I am going to go over image recognition and how to use API's in Unity 3D so you can make your augmented reality apps smarter. I feel like the real killer application of AR is using it as more of a tool rather than a game. I will going over some basics using http get requests in Unity with the WWW class. I will also show you how to request information from API's in Unity.
I FORGOT TO MENTION: If you are using the project from Github I forget to add my Vuforia license key to the ARCamera object in the scene. Just click to open Vuforia configuration and add it there.
