Getting started

When dealing with AR Applications and games, there are bound to be prerequisites, and with this book this will be no different.

The following are the requirements for an Apple Mac computer:

• macOS 11
• Xcode 9
• Mono Framework 5.14.0
• Unity 2017
• ARKit

It is suggested that you have a 2013 or later model Mac computer, as older versions do not support the Metal API for graphics.

When you install Unity on a Mac, it will install Visual Studio for Mac as well; the catch is it requires Mono Framework to run, so be sure to download and install everything.

Here are the requirements for a Windows computer:

• Windows 10
• 8 GB of RAM or more
• Unity
• ARCore
• JDK 8 or higher
• Visual Studio
• Android Studio
