Leveraging Unity 3D and Vuforia Engine for Augmented Reality Application Development

Augmented Reality (AR) integration via handheld devices is a subject of significant interest for mobile applications and interactions between humans and machines. The mobile AR technique integrates intelligent display, registration tracking, virtual and reality convergence, and interactions between humans and computers on mobile devices or intelligent platforms. Thus, allowing the 3D virtual object to be wholly interlinked with the consumer's real scene, broadening the perceived distance. There has been research and applications in different subjects. However, these technologies must be included in the primary education level. Considerable research is lacking in terms of designing an application. The Vuforia SDK's AR application is a gateway for linking the virtual world to reality. The mobile terminal's display combines the actual video and the virtual object, allowing for 3D monitoring and registry. This paper describes the steps in designing a game or application and implementing augmented reality technology using Unity 3D and proposes a comprehensive framework for building an application using AR technique.
