If you are looking to get started with the Unity platform and want to get started with code. Here is a great Github repo with a detailed overview and some well-structured code samples: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/arfoundation-samples

Try AR Foundation samples: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/arfoundation-samples - can you run some of those and confirm they run fine?

Sure, you can create AR apps for Android and iOS with Unity's AR Foundation package. For examples, check out the AR Foundation Samples repo.

The ARFoundation Samples repo is up-to-date, but you need to use the correct branch for your specific version of Unity. See the README's "What version should I use?" section.

This code is Unity's sample code which toggles between enabling and disabling the plane detection. You can check all their samples from here. Save the script and go back to Unity editor.

So I activated the light estimation in the ARCameraManager Object and used the provided sample script as starting point. I get values for the ambient spherical harmonics and main light direction for example, but for some reason I don't get any values for average brightness, color correction or main light intensity. I want to use those values to control a directional light to created shadows mainly.

and this is the one for trackable image (like qr code): https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/arfoundation-samples/blob/main/Assets/Scenes/ImageTracking/BasicImageTracking/TrackedImageInfoManager.cs

Unity. Can't say much. It's the most popular choice for 2D game development. But somehow, my heart wasn't in writing in C#. Also, for some entirely subjective reason, I had a skeptical attitude towards the engine.

Install Unity Hub from Unity's official website.

Sooo. Unity. It's a 3D game engine created by a company of the same name. It was published in 2005 and is one of the most used game engines in the world due to its simplicity, the number of documents, and the easy way to publish games on all platforms.

Unity is a popular game engine and development platform that is widely used for creating games, as well as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, and features that enable developers to build interactive and immersive experiences across various platforms.

Creating 3D Videos: After downloading the desired models, you can import them into 3D software like Unity or Unreal Engine. These platforms allow you to create 3D scenes and animations, which can be exported as video files.

The next step I need help with is finding the right platform to market myself on. I’ve already been recommended Unity and Yahaha. Any guidance related to these will be appreciated, and if you have experience or recommendations for similar platforms, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Also, if you really want to make a game, you could try learning C# (it's very similar to Java) and use https://unity.com/ (Unity 3D is free if you have less than $100K of revenue/funding within the past 12 months).
