week 1

Hi! Welcome! This will be my independent project blog where i would be updating about my thought progresses and ideas :D

heres a short introduction - im winnie lee, a digital media design student in year 2,

so anyway onwards to my brain farts-

So reviewing what ive tried and done before- mostly graphic based works . Im feel comfortable leaning onto that side as that is mostly my forte, although so i wouldn't want to be afraid of playing around with technologies too but due to y weakness in motion graphic, i really have to limit myself a lot in certain areas.

So,brainstorming ideas on what i can actually do:

- coding, i enjoy coding and have more than enough mentors if i am stuck on it. - animation / illustration (2d based)

Although while trying to come up with ideas, i really am not sure what CAN BE DONE and what CANT BE DONE. I can’t find any research on google about the ideas im thinking of, or either im just looking up the wrong things. Eitherways, heres a short proposal on what i felt like i COULD actually do?

- 2D AR animation game

i rather chose this instead of a heavy coding based website because MWAD is going to be a more heavy coding based and i feel like if theres way too much coding within the same 15 weeks i probably would become illiterate, so i decide to be more animation art based, something that i too have passion and enjoy doing too.

Although illustration / animation is something im comfortable with doing, i am very illiterate about AR based games / interactive projects so this is going to be quite a learning curve for me.

WHAT IM NOT SURE I CAN DO

- make the game interactive with other objects? (i wish i knew how to explain words hah)

idea concept to get an idea of what im talking about:

a journal/storybook with photographs inside about a couple who has broken up, the photographs are scannable AR memories - each memory have an individual storyline of how the one of them have hurt each other and you, the player whos looking at the memory can change the course of the storyline by giving them something they wished they had given each other during that time.

The objects will be physical objects and will be hidden in the same pages or around the book, wishing they could change the course of their relationship

The whole concept is probably going to be 2D based, like the only 3d AR part is the photograph poping out as you scan it? or if i could make that 2D too that would be alright. I just really don’t know what can be done and what couldn’t.

quick rough sketch of idea:

-----

some research/ annotated citations that i have done about 2D AR/ AR GAMES:

Learn how to make dynamic Menus that work with AR and non AR projects

Learn to place AR objects onto a surface using a tap.

Learn to place AR objects onto a surface using an automatic placement technique

Learn where to and how to add free high quality models to your project.

Learn how to add animations to those models

Learn to link the Model to the AR world and have animations change based on position.

Learn how to integrate a UI into your project

Requirements

You’ll need a basic understanding of Unity and be at least a beginner at using it.

You need to know what Augmented reality is.

You’ll need a computer that can run AR, you’ll also need a phone that can run Augmented Reality too.

Description

This is the first AR course of its kind, there are 2 Key parts to this course… 1) First I’m going to teach you how to create a very simple furniture placement app, but thats not all!

2) I’ll also give you the full template code for an actual AR Photo Camera app and teach you how to edit the template and add your own Gameobjects aswell. You can even download a developed app built from that template NOW from the android store, just search “AR Photo Tutorial Satwant” on the Google Play Store.

You’ll be coding in Unity and using Unity’s official ARFoundation package, so the code you write will work on Android & IOS AR devices.

More details: The first part is a simple AR furniture placement course.

1) Create a menu that will display the objects people can place.

2) Learn to automatically place those Gameobjects on the ground.

3) Learn where you can download different Gameobjects for free.

4) Have those Gameobjects automatically rotate towards the camera

5) Additional Videos like hiding the ARPlane and Adding light estimation.

The second part involves editing the template for an actual AR Photo app. The template allows for

1) Changing the icons and Gameobjects to be anything you want.

2) Rotating objects using fingers.

3) Simple scaling objects with two fingers.

4) Taking a photo of the Augmented Reality image with environment.

5) Adding sound and animating the gameobjects.

Without the ability to drop items to your games, how is the user meant to interact? I’ll make sure you get this fundamental skill under your belt.

So who is this course for? Well, if you have basic knowledge in unity and would like to add AR to your skills whether its developing for AR on Android or IOS, this course is for you. If you do NOT know the basics of unity, and don’t know how to build or install unity, this course isn’t for you.

The best way to know if this course is right for you, is try out the first few free videos, if you get stuck drop me a line too, I’d be happy to help. If you learn from them and enjoy them, this course is for you! You will need an AR compatible phone, iPhone or android, I’ve designed the course on an android but the code works for both and I even show you it working on an IOS device. I’ve even designed some parts of the course to work if you DONT have an AR phone aswell so you can still learn and work in the unity editor. Try out those tutorials for free too 🙂

ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE ARFOUNDATION IS VERY NEW. Unity might decide to change it which is out of my control. If you’ve done programming before then you’re aware of version changes, but I thought I should still warn you, nothing in coding is perfect! 🙂

Who this course is for:

A beginner or intermediate Unity developer who would like to learn how to create AR apps.

Someone who wants to understand how to create an essential menu they can use for all AR projects going forward.
