Creating an AR project with the AR (Core) template
Unity have kindly created a project template, which does the required work for AR projects of adding the AR Foundation package, and provides a sample scene that already has the core AR GameObjects needed for an AR project.
In this recipe, you’ll learn how to create a new project from the provided template, open the sample scene and add a 3D object, and then set up the Build Settings config for deployment on an Android device.
