Another great tute. Dont forget to enable multiple image tracking. Select the AR camera > Vuforia behaviour (script) > Max Simultaneous Tracking (2 or more). This means your targets dont disappear when viewing multiple.

[@taishilim1715]

where could I find it? i mean i manage to get to the VuforiaBehaiviour script.. I cannot find the Max Simultaneous Tracking

[@emrek1]

Press "Open Vuforia configuration" button below. They moved those details to there.

[@DinoPie]

Thanks.

[@zondleDotCom]

Would love to see this taken a bit further. Thanks so much for a great overview!

[@crisbelda5945]

It worked like a charm! Thanks a lot and congrats!!

[@userunknownxx1]

This sounds nice I'll probably follow your steps in the future to make a small ar game.

[@danschultz6293]

Thank you for this. Really cool tut :)

[@HungLe-xg7rr]

wonderful tutorial, thank you!

[@jatinaggarwal0803]

I am facing a problem , where textures in "scene view " are appearing white. When I run the project in play mode or exported to my android device, the image targets are being recognized which allows me to continue with my project however it makes it really difficult to align virtual buttons on the image target. Please help.

[@iconesarquitetura3686]

How do I use my AR project in my phone device? Do you have a Tut for this?

[@benediktusdejuandro4084]

hey man, i don't know why my marker pict doesnt appear, just white color in there, do u know what is the problem and the solution, please help me if u can. thank you.

[@yoonsiklevijoo9255]

Hello, Can you let me know why when I turn on the play button, my webcam shows flipped screen?

[@GWebcob]

[@icaruscraft2144]

BEST. CHANNEL. EVER.

[@oldschoolguy3319]

this is majestic, thanks for the tut. one question, can i actually code a player controller for it and controll it?

[@DimitarUzunov1412]

Very useful, thanks :)

[@ydtan1]

Is it possible to draw curve lines out from the marker? How can I do it?

[@BlackPandaStudios]

so say Instead of predefined reference images, what would be the best way to have someone scan in there own to use and pick what model to project onto it? :)

[@albanrousselin3612]

when i try with my web cam it doesn show on the scene, but the little camera image moves, just cant see the image on the scene...

[@uniquerobotics2019]

where did you get the low poly model from?

[@priviledgemachuwaire9257]

hey thanks its a nice video but what i can i do to make my 3d object still appear with the camera off(turning off the game scene) and i want my 3d to still appear in the card please help thanks

[@loshagrl]

Hey thanks for the great tutorial. Do you know if it's possible to send the App or the file to somebody else and open it on another Android or iPhone? Thanks.

[@eddiexgames4887]

so if the card is more detailed its easier to track?

[@user-dd7ph6ng6j]

Hi. Thank you for helpful tutoral but where's the wolf image?

[@makarawash]

Could you please make a tutorial about exporting to android and ios?? My screen goes black on my phone when I open the android app.

[@lawrencealfredramos2204]

[@lutaayahuzaifahidris3679]

[@gautamsharma9823]

I have a problem after adding vuforia package ,there is no option for 'AR CAMERA' inside PREFABS folder .please help me thank u.

[@tenzo6190]

Can you tell the why the camera quality drops significantly? Do we need some special options?

[@vanorley20]

Hello, good video, I have a problem, I am developing an AR app with Vuforia that consists of a 3D model to learn human anatomy, with the touch I can rotate, scale, move and select each part of the body and it shows me a label, I also have buttons; ** that when the 3D model is in the same direction as a Canvas button, pressing it also selects the 3D Model ** How can I make sure that the Model is not selected when I press a button?

[@daltonroperez9296]

Hello, Could I animate a display text only?

[@fallendagger2766]

hey this is a great tutorial bro but im trying to do a first person shooting game using ar but its not working can u help me

[@002uzumaki]

Thanks for the video. Can you make a tutorial about how you made player move like that in your game jam game?

[@ChillmodeGaming]

[@marcosperez3519]

I thank you that worked perfectly (y)

[@bennguyen1313]

How does unity do the tracking? Can it use any camera? I'd like to do a standalone apk for the android and use that camera!

[@pipolfeliz]

how could i get this to samsung vr gear? if possible

[@mazzfotovideo]

any idea, why doesnt work in 64 bits? some patch?

[@ginnanboy8698]

Hello, At 12:55, various information are given about the cards in “Console - Clear on play”. However, I got this message: “OnLevelWasLoaded was found on VuforiaAbstractBehaviour This message has been deprecated and will be removed in a later version of Unity. Add a delegate to SceneManager.sceneLoaded instead to get notifications after scene loading has completed” How can I fix this problem?

[@powersx2508]

Thank you so much!

[@shravanvavadiya1979]

Hey, Can you please make a video to solve the camera jitter issue that happens in Vuforia? I searched a lot but didn't get a good solution. There are many augmented reality videos that shows some wonderful augmentation. Can you let me know the one which sdk they might be using? Thanks in advance.Anyways I have been watching all your AR videos and they are great.Thanks for all those videos too.

[@om1t_]

My images are black in unity. Do you know what is going on?

[@dineshnayak4043]

great keep going

[@patrickooi]

I'm new to Unity and Vuforia but I managed to get this working! Yay! So what's next? I can't seem to generate a standalone app that works on my MAC and my other option is to create an iOS app, which is beyond me! Any suggestions?

[@bouzeffourmohamed7436]

Thankss alot man

[@nooralibutt2690]

Perfect ... Please do more videos on it (Y)

[@thenazeer]

does unity vuforia Assest support 64 bit today ?

[@Respectstudios3d]

Nice, thanks. I wonder, is there something specific that have to be done, for this to work on Mobile (iOS \ Android), or if you export it, it will use the camera ?

[@jtwiglesworth8841]

There is and it's fairly simple.

[@villagraned777]

Muchas gracias. Dios te bendiga enormemente.

[@harshonthego]

hello ,I want to create this but i want that when I make my marker in front of my laptop camera It should Play a song . Can you help me with this problem ? I dont want to use camera for viewing only i want camera t read my target image and then play a song which will i connect to that target image

[@lukasthompson8299]

Write a script to activate a sound when the object becomes visible.

[@Chopi]

Reall interesting!

[@scans6916]

Hi! AWESOME! thank you for this tutorial this was what I was looking for! but you need to help me... I'm a biology teacher and I had this SUPER idea... I need your advice to know if this is possible... I would like to create an augmented reality for my students to see other species from other ecosystems... so the idea would be to place some "recognition cards" in different places for them to look for them and then see with a tablet what species there is... is that possible? are there free 3D animal models around on the internet? or anyway to do them fast (there's no need for a real 3d actually)? is there any way to do it without a "recognition card"? maybe taking real picture of the places and use real background to make models appear? what do you tell me? let me know! thanks

[@alkistrentsios6476]

how we turn it in android ?what about SDK?

[@slimenian3457]

Nicee! :)

[@Chabal93]

Can i mouve the name "vuforia" from app !!!

[@guillermogutierrez5118]

The object (card) is not the problem when dealing with the Ace of hearts. There just isn't enough contrast in the picture. Too much white and little of any other color. This makes it hard to track. The other one worked fine because of the big Spade in the middle.

[@gibaair3800]

thank you good tutorial

[@faisalbani16]

how to import fbx files?

[@milosnik747]

I believe that the rear side of a card could be a very decent target image since they are so knotty.

[@WaltonV]

So in this video, only one dog model can stand on the AR at the time? It would be very interesting with many models held together on the AR. Grats!

[@Jbssidra]

if you upload a video how to track cubes and other objects it will be very best for me as i am exploring vuforia from many weeks

[@megagrv7119]

How to import that fbx file

[@LuisPerez-hp6pj]

Hi! Im Luis, thank you for all the tutorials you do, I'm really learning and improving my skills tho I started one month ago. My question is, may you make a tutorial explaining how to create a quiz game in AR? I mean, you choose the correct answer scanning the correct target. It would be really useful for me. Thank you anyway! : )

[@saurabkunwar6137]

Hey can you make tutorials on how to make car game, physics and AI

[@afrazlone1994]

Is there any way that i can see these 3d models in my mobile phone instead of my laptop's webcam?

[@n3ken]

Hey Afraz, I will answer you here: discordapp.com/invite/etX2zJB just ask under #general thanks! ;3

[@ginnanboy8698]

Hello N3K EN, Can you make a tutorial on how to make the augmented 3D object to do some animation with a sound effect (for example, an attack animation) after you say “attack”, on a Android device? (Basically using speech to control your augmented object.) It would be a nice addition to this tutorial. Also it would be cool if you could switch scenes, for example when you say “scene 2” or “next/previous scene”.

[@NileshKumar-yq3or]

I have a problem the image is getting white when i import it in database in image target.

[@adityasanjaya838]

Change it in 2D and Sprite

[@tpmer4299]

nice! :)

[@Alex1tmacthebestnba]

Is it possible in vuforia to add coordinates from the gps instead of image so the item can be shown in the real world in your specific coordinates?

[@blakstorm12]

Alex1tmacthebestnba That's exactly what I want to know 👍🏼

[@Alex1tmacthebestnba]

Hey Retrofred!I've found out that with vuforia is not possible to do that :/

[@kelvinjardin7443]

This is possible with Wikitude or Kudan. www.wikitude.com/ www.kudan.eu/

[@cesararteaga5679]

hey man! how you import the 3d model to unity? just grab it? could be a .max file how you do it?

[@theearthburner6159]

César it's a file with extension (.blend)

[@fabriziolograsso752]

do other tutorial on augmented reality?

[@dylanchan924]

how to build app

[@karbs3036]

thank you for this nice video. i've a problem when trying to build to android, i get the error msg "Unable to convert classes into dex format. See the console for details". Any suggestions pllzz. (when i build without imported package, it works)

[@n3ken]

Hey Kar, will you explain further here: discordapp.com/invite/etX2zJB under #programming_help? thanks! ;3

[@simocennetten5239]

thank you

[@manulaser7947]

Where did you find low wolf ? (sorry for my bad english)

[@doggo4616]

He made it.

[@theearthburner6159]

it's low poly wolf

[@seabeckstarlite]

any reason i cant get this to work on the phone i dont have a webcam i followed along but it never shows my model when i view the card

[@adityasanjaya838]

You should change your platform from PC to Android or iOS... (*If you still have the problem)

[@varunvc7706]

In video it is suggested to download 32 bit.. I have downloaded 64 bit unity.. is that ok?

[@n3ken]

64bit is now supported!

[@Tutterzoid]

Tracking image needs to be 3 or 4 stars for good tracking ... 5 stars for great tracking :)

[@MocciaJ]

This tutorial is so great. But when I drop my AR camera into the hierarchy it is missing all of the many components shown in yours. Instead I only have Transform, Audio Listener, Vuforia Behaviour (script) and Default Initialization Error Handler (Script.) any ideas why my AR camera is missing so many functions? I tried redownloading the vuforia package and loading it into new Unity projects but same results.

[@marloes0043]

Same problem

[@MocciaJ]

glad I'm not crazy, please let me know if you solve it and I will do the same

[@marloes0043]

Solved it! Import the AR camera into the scene, then when you click on it you see two scripts (Vuforia Behaviour script and Default initialization error handler). If you look at the vuforia behaviour script there is this button thingy, click on that. It will take you to a new field in the inspector, there you can add the license key and under datasets you can find the Load database (for your image targets) and activate thing. Hope this helps (:

[@TamalPlays]

+marloes0043 thanks :)

[@ollieedmonds3925]

Which button do you mean, as I am having the same issue. Many thanks

[@eyewishwalrus]

SO do you have to have ti really low poly?

[@patrickooi]

No, you can have 3D objects with rendered textured

[@minthihazaw4691]

Nice video. Thanks very much for this tutorial. Unfortunately my country can't support by Vuforia Developer :( Now trying with VPN :D

[@placebo_yue]

wait, why do i need unity 32 bits again? i have 64, i'd like to avoid downloading another versión if there's an alternative

[@n3ken]

They support 64 bits now! Ayy :D

[@samuelegarritano2529]

I have a problem. why in ARCamera , I dont have : Database Load Behaviour (script) ? :( In Inspector ARCamera, I have only: trasform Vuforia Behaviour ( script ) Default Initialization error handler ( script ) . while in your video there are many more things ? thanks

[@luca0793]

Because he has used another versione of vuforia (not the last one) but the 5-5-9. I have the same problem and I notice that goes fine with this version :-)

[@samuelegarritano2529]

ciao Luca, grazie per la risposta. hai altre soluzioni?? magari utilizzando altri programmi. mi piacerebbe realizzare qualcosa di simile indipendentemente dal software utilizzato. ciao

[@luca0793]

Samuele Garritano purtroppo no, anche io sono alle prime armi (sto facendo questa demo per una tesi di laurea) ed è l'unica cosa che al momento so fare e consigliarti (scusami prima per l'inglese, ho notato il cognome ma volevo andare sul sicuro)

[@samuelegarritano2529]

mi hanno girato questo link: github.com/diogok/yaar devo ancora approfondire la cosa. si tratta di un applicazione java per i browser . ed un altro è questa : github.com/jcmellado/js-aruco , ma mi hanno consigliato di studiarmi il primo. ti ripeto che al momento non ho ancora approfondito nulla. se fatti con vuforia e superi le visualizzazioni del traker rischi di dover pagare le licenze . ma prendi tutto quello che ti sto dicendo con beneficio di inventario :)

[@albanrousselin3612]

english please i have the same problem

[@edgarpanganiban9339]

Hey dude, just want to ask. Is the Unity 64-bit editor still doesn't support the AR pluggins in Windows 64-bit???

[@n3ken]

I don't think it's about the bits. Unity 2017.2 and 2017.3 have integrated AR now. so latest 5.6 and 2017.1 should be supporting. thanks! ;3

[@edgarpanganiban9339]

Thanks for the reply ...I downloaded 5.6 32-bit just to be sure and its working. Btw, if you dont mind, can you create a video or atleast send me a link that teach on how to integrate my ar app from unity to android???

[@user-dg9el2zj2z]

Hi! Can you tell please in which program you've made 3d models? Is it free? I want to do a B.A. project and need this information. Please help me if you can!

[@n3ken]

Blender, it is a freeware! Cheers

[@user-dg9el2zj2z]

thanks!

[@vandameh.a2235]

where is the code? I mean... ok you are using someone else's code but how does this work?

[@TaviOcan]

Do you really need a surface to track? It can't be set to appear in a certain place instead of an object? Thanks!

[@modelisationLolito]

with vuforia no but with kudan yes you can use markerless tracking

[@TaviOcan]

Thank you :) Just found out that what i'm looking for it's GPS tracking +AR but I can't find any tutorial for that. I will check Kudan :D

[@modelisationLolito]

+Tavi Ocan but gps based location just permit to show a 3d model if gps position are good it's like a button and more other that consumm much battery

[@vickylance]

GPS suckz... you need a seriously accurate gps for what u are doin

[@n3ken]

Unless you live in a city, GPS will suck indeed.

[@aeoncg]

hey how can i use on mobile. I have done all this stuff on mac & now I have android mobile..pls pls suggest

Thank for replying..

[@zach8901]

how to do connect your phone to the camera instead of the webcam?

[@n3ken]

You build it to an APK, or you link your device to unity, which I'm probably going to explain how at some point soon in a video

[@jodvcx714]

How do you do it because my webcam is really bad?

[@pixelgames3776]
