Build a virtual remote control car and then bring it to life with the power of augmented reality using your mobile device’s camera. Not only will you learn how to set up the movement and UI controls for a 3D modeled car, but also how to use Unity and the AR Foundation package for cross-platform development to place and drive your car in the physical world. Further, you will also take the first steps into occlusion – the process of hiding virtual objects with real-world physical objects – to further blur the line between the virtual and real-world space.
You will learn how to:
- Create and place a 3D modeled car in AR
- Script a car model for typical car movement (acceleration, turning, etc.)
- Detect AR planes for your car to drive on
- Implement UI elements to control your AR car
- Set up basic occlusion to hide your car when blocked by physical objects (e.g. under tables)
