arcore-android-sdk VS tech-tuesday-tutorials

I don't know houw you would do it on ios but you should be able to do it on android if the phone supports it with.this library from google: https://developers.google.com/ar

once that is done, you need to download the apk for the ARCore, wget https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/releases/download/sdk-preview2/arcore-preview2.apk

Clone this repo and open Android Studio on the hello_ar directory. https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/tree/master/samples/hello_ar_kotlin

I haven’t developed AR in Unity, but scanning a marker with ARCore (native android) is actually very easy. Here’s some samples: https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/tree/master/samples

Found a fix. I found out v1.27.0 is the latest working version. I downloaded it from github

If you have any control on the choice of the source/webcam, I'd recommend using a camera that can sense depth from the start (lidar cameras, like Intel RealSense if you are building something like a commercial robot; or a consumer device with lidar capabilities like iPad Pros since 2020, because they come with SDKs to do what you want from the start. E.g. https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/arkit/ or https://developers.google.com/ar/ or android devices). The problem is that without first-hand depth information, you need some way to guess that: you can train vision models to estimate coarse depth (e.g. https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_CVPRW_2019/papers/Deep%20Vision%20Workshop/Ren_Deep_Robust_Single_Image_Depth_Estimation_Neural_Network_Using_Scene_CVPRW_2019_paper.pdf) but I am not sure if they are "exact" enough for your use case.

You guys are right that Unity doesn't support building for arm64 Linux. It looks like the op could potentially install Android on the Raspberry Pi, which may allow them to run Android APKs built with Unity. However, AR Core is needed in order for Unity's AR functionality to work, and I suspect it would take additional work to get AR Core working on the Pi with an external camera and gyroscope.

If the phone doesn't support ARCore, then you would have to implement all of the world / surface detection yourself inside your application code, which is very difficult problem to solve.

Start by downloading a base project from my Github or follow the first tutorial from this series before going forward.

Follow the first tutorial from my AR intro series to setup a new Unity project for Augmented Reality use or download the base project from here.

This time we will create an Android AR app that displays 3D models on images! The finished project is in my Github if you just want to test this out without coding it yourself.

This was a long step-by-step guide on how to install Unity Game Engine and Google ARCore plugin! You can use this as a base whenever you start building new AR apps on Unity. You can also download this starting project from my Github.
