• Package manager:
  • build setting: switch to target platform
  • install AR foundation + ARCore XR from Unity registry in Package Manager
  • build setting > Player setting:
    1. OpenGL before vulkan
    2. min api : android api level 26 (store 30)
    3. scripting backend: ILL2CPP
    4. uncheck armv7 and check arm64
    5. xr plug-in, check ARCore
  • create XR > AR session + AR session origin
  • asset > create XR > reference image library (to load marker image)
  • ar session origin > add component > ar tracked image manager
    • (put library there)

• markerless means more task for phone to calculate
  • surface detection + motion tracking+ environment lighting
  • detection limitation:
    • surface w no texture, bad lighting, transparent and reflective surface, moving objects

• build step:

  • create XR > AR session + AR session origin
  • ar session origin > add component > ar plane manager
    1. outliner > create XR > AR Default Plane, put it prefab
    2. drag that plane prefab into AR Plane Manager (plane prefab)
    3. direction mode: horizontal
  • ar session origin > add component > ar raycast manager
  • ar session origin > add component > AR environment prob manager
  • (extra) Direction Light > add component > HDRLightEstimation.cs (put ar camera there)
    • then, at ar camera manager, light estimation : everything
  • (extra) ar session origin > add component > PlaceOnPlane.cs (place holderPrefab there, above raycast manager there)

in short:

1. AR Session
2. AR session origin (ar plane mgr < place prefab; ar raycast mgr; ar env prob mgr)
   1. ar camera
3. light (hdrLightEmission)

extra interactive

• package add: XR interactive toolkit (no for new input, go ahead for update)
• root of interactive prefab root GameObject: - add
  • AR selection(mode:single/mult)/Translation/Rotation/Scale interactable component
    • (selection > put obj for selection visualizer)
    • [opt: use AR Select interactable – Single]
  • collider
• base quad obj with new material (unlit/transparent > with texture)
• Extra 2:
  • AR camera: > add AR gesture mgr
  • AR session: > add XR interaction mgr
  • AR session: > add AR placement interactable (put to place prefab there, select mode: single/multi)
    • [opt: use AR Placement interactable – Single]

• image with moving sprite
  • ctrl+6: animation panel, select the image, and create, and drag image seq into animation
  • make the image not blocking user click, uncheck Image > Raycast Target
