How to make an Augmented Reality App in 2024: Overview
You will get a baby-step by baby-step guide for beginners on how to create an interactive augmented reality (AR) app with Unity and your very own brain! Unity is one of the leading game development engines in the mixed reality / extended reality / augmented reality / XR market. It’s used to make games that can be deployed to the PlayStation, the Xbox, the PC, the Mac, the phone and much more! You can download it for FREE here: www.unity3d.com. Learning how to make AR apps like this will be super important to become a contributor of the metaverse (whether with Meta/Facebook's or elsewhere). So start now!
What’s AR? AR apps are any type of application that allows you to mix in virtual objects in the real-world through the visual field of a device (like a phone or smart glasses).
In this introduction tutorial video I will preview all the details of this step-by-step guide video series that will help you in creating your first XR app for the mobile phone. You will get a preview of the design process (broken down to a very simplistic pipeline), some of the coding you will be doing, some of the 3d modeling and, of course, the resulting product! Most importantly though, this video will pump you up for the upcoming tutorial videos where we go from simple (non-complex) design and ideation to coding up in Unity your first augmented reality game for the iPhone. The process for making an augmented reality app in 2022 or in making one in 2021 is going to be pretty much the same. While the technology is advancing incredibly fast, the stability in some of the frameworks like AR foundation (Unity) is pretty darn good and will be future proof at least for a year or even more. Most importantly though, is that the concepts you learn now, will carry through to your next project.
This introduction will summarize the upcoming AR tutorial videos:
How to install (and what to install) Unity, Xcode, Blender, Visual Studio Code -- which are the programs we will need to get started (and they are all free!)
How to simplify the design of an AR app or a game
How to make a prototype in UNITY once the design process is completed
How to make simple 3d models using blender (also a free program) for our game
How to move from prototype to final product while adding embellishments
and of course, throughout this process, we will debug and test on the phone!
Throughout this beginner's guide to AR foundation we will code together and we will make mistakes together because that’s how coding really manifests in the real world! So, let’s get hyped!!!
