Category: AR Project

I have been having a lot of problems with multiple tracking in AR. I spent several days of my break trying to solve the code.

I did manage in the end to create the multiple image tracking. However, I was not able to mix the multiple tracking with the sound.

I searched for several days and made about 27 builds but had no luck integrating the sound.

I found one possible solution, which was an integration with Vuforia. However, the free versiion had a watermark and I wanted to be able to create something native to Unity.

Since the sound was the core of my project, I decided to reduce it to one target image and one animation.

Once the image is scanned, the band member will appear and its music will appear as well.

I absolutely loved the idea of this project, which is why I want to propose it as something scaleable in the future.

I am planning on continuing the exploration of the capabilities of Unity in AR and hopefully the fully customizable AR band will be possible in the future 🙂

This week I presented the concept and the visuals to the class for the first time

Fourtunately, they all really liked the idea.

I didn’t have enough time to start the build, so I showed a concept video of how everything should look.

I have never done AR before in Unity, much less with multiple trackers and songs, so I am a little worried that I won’t ba able to achieve it.

For this week, I decided to work on the materials for the dead version of each character and the cards for each side, as well as the general base.

I started designing the characters and their outfits.

I wanted them to have a rap/cool style.

Each character will represent one color.

First of all, to start with this project, I needed to find a sound to use.

This was going to determine the whole aesthetic of my project.

One thing I knew for sure was that I had to found sounds royalty free and with no copyright.

I tried looking in youtube but I couldn’t find tracks that were split in different instruments.

I tried looking in music pages but the same thing happened.

I decided I had to do it myself, which is why I ended up using Garage Band, to create my own beats.

After a working for a long time on the rest of the projects, I finally had time to start working on the AR.

This week we had the mid crit, and even thought I didn’t have anything physical prepared to show, I presented all of my options to the tutor and the class. These ideas were a lot different that the ones I had after the first week of classes.

These are were my options:

After discussing it with two of my tutors, I decided to go with the first one (the music experience). I liked the idea of using AR and sounds, even though it could get complex.
