Description

Augmented Reality allows for radical innovations in countless areas. It magically blends the physical and virtual worlds, bringing applications from a screen into your hands. Meanwhile, Unity has now become the leading platform to develop augmented reality experiences, as it provides a great pipeline for working with 3D assets. Using a practical and project-based approach, Unity 2018 Augmented Reality Projects educates you about the specifics of augmented reality development in Unity 2018. This book teaches you how to use Unity in order to develop AR applications which can be experienced with devices such as HoloLens and Daydream. You will learn to integrate, animate, and overlay 3D objects on your camera feed, before gradually moving on to implementing sensor-based AR applications. In addition to this, you will explore the technical considerations that are especially important and possibly unique to AR. The projects in the book demonstrate how you can build a variety of AR experiences, whilst also giving insights into C# programming as well as the Unity 3D game engine via the interactive Unity Editor. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to develop rich, interactive augmented reality experiences for a range of AR devices and platforms using Unity.

This book is very well written. The author adds real examples, excellent discussion and subtle humor (which is always a plus). He approaches the topic of AR with the beginner thought of, and goes into great detail to get him her an excellent understanding of the topic. The examples are well thought out, and the style is simplistic yet highly informative.This would have been a 5 star rating, my only downside is it did not take a real project and build up to show how everything is put together in context in a real life example.

While there are some good ideas presented in this book, crucial steps are omitted, and certain syntactical details like dll import names are flat out wrong (not matching the name of the actual dll files) with some projects, especially the later ones. There's no coverage about what the "OPENCV_DIR" variable is or does -- the author just drops it in there as if you've already gone through a nonexistent tutorial on environment variables. There's no coverage about building an OpenCV plugin from macOS, or about why there's only one precompiled lib file instead of the four he tells you to look for (if compiling from the source is required, he needs to say that instead of telling us that the precompiled binaries are just as good).Overall, there's enough basic material to be worth a few bucks, but it was certainly not worth $50.
