Unity3D How to Create Augmented Reality Without Marker?

Question

I'm already make an augmented reality app that can read images marker, but I wonder if i can make augmented reality without marker in unity. Can anyone tell me how?

Answer 1

You can use Google ARCore, Vuforia or 8thWall SDKs. All of them have motion tracking or extended tracking. So you do not have to use markers. You can take a look at ARCore HelloAR example:

Answer 2

Maybe What you need is SLAM, I think. Simultaneous Localization And Mapping, and is markerless, just recognite and track the environment.

These are 2 videos about slam:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YLzcWX-gWU

One is from kudan, one is from wikitude. If this feature is what you want. Then I am sure that what you need is SLAM.

You can get more from:

• wikitude slam
• kudan

And, vuforia is not adviced. In fact, Smart Terrain does recoginate the environment, it still need a marker.

Answer 3

you can using ARUnity. ARUnity is the Unity plugin for ARToolKit. (Well the marker would be some kind of image which is used for tracking. ARToolKit calls it NFT.)

You can download it here: http://www.artoolkit.org/download-artoolkit-sdk (Scroll down for the ARUnity download link)

Documentation is available here: http://www.artoolkit.org/documentation/doku.php?id=6_Unity:unity_getting_started

Best is, it is free and open-source :).
