Businesses around the world are embracing the potential application of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in building their products. This emerging technology is being used across leading industries such as —

Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to understand the importance of building customized solutions that cater to the needs of their audience as well as leave a powerful everlasting impact on their users. This can be achieved through “branding”, a technique that is commonly used while designing applications, websites and other products to increase business visibility and potential reach.

In this article, I will be showing you how you…

· Step 1: Create a folder that contains all the textures
· Step 2: Download a texture
· Step 3: Drop the texture into your Unity project
· Step 4: Apply the downloaded texture to the sphere
· Step 5: Make your basketball bounce

In this article, you will learn how to make a basketball using Materials and Textures in Unity. This microconcept can be extended to create any kind of ball i.e football, tennis ball, snooker balls. That said, it is not just limited to creating balls. …

In this article, I will show you how you can make your Game Objects bounce. This is useful when you need to make a ball bounce off the floor, the walls, or the ceiling. Let’s see how we can achieve this in Unity.

The key step here is to use a Physics material and change the properties of it so that it behaves like a bouncy object. It is easier than you think.

Here are the steps —

Step 1: Add a plane and a sphere to an empty scene.

The plane represents the floor and the sphere will be the ball that bounces on that floor.

What are you going to learn?

Most of the time when you are using Game Objects in Unity, you would like to add some color to them so that all your Game Objects look different from each other.

In this article, I will show you a simple method to apply any color to a Cube.

This same technique can be used to-
👉 apply color to all your Game Objects
👉 build your own library of colors for your game, application, or AR/VR experience

P.S — To make it easier to understand, I will treat “material” and “color” as the same thing for the rest of…

This list is a compilation of AR/VR terminologies from all over the web. I used to refer to this list each time I came across a term, but didn’t remember what it meant exactly. I am sure you might find this useful too.

Accelerometer — measures acceleration; for ARCore-capable smartphones, it helps enable motion tracking.

Anchors — user-defined points of interest upon which AR objects are placed. Anchors are created and updated relative to geometry (planes, points, etc.) that ARCore detects in the environment.

Asset — refers to any 3D model.

Augmented Reality (AR) — a direct or indirect live…

In this article we are going to create a simple Augmented Reality Experience where you can place a cube on any plane surface. This serves as a perfect Hello World Example to get started with Augmented Reality. We are gonna be using Unity and a bunch of packages to do so. There is absolutely zero coding involved in this Hello World Example.

Before diving into the practical steps, let’s understand a few things first. A lot of the steps that you see ahead will seem like “magic”. It’s as if you are just following instructions, blindly. You won’t understand the…

Introduction

Augmented Reality Glasses are smart wearables that put virtual content right in front of our eyes. The Vuzix Blaze Smart Glasses is one such example. Even though I don’t have the hardware (i.e Vuzix Blaze Smart Glasses), I was curious to know how can a developer who is passionate about Augmented Reality can get started with AR Glasses App development. This is a short article where I mention how Vuzix Blade App Development is similar to Android Development and what you, as an Android Developer, should look forward to.
