Simple AR Android App

Overview

This project is a small Augmented Reality prototype developed in Unity using AR Foundation. The goal was to demonstrate core AR development skills through a clean and interactive experience.

Players can scan their surroundings, detect real-world surfaces, place a character in the environment, and freely move it using a virtual joystick.

Features

• AR Plane Detection
• Real-Time Surface Scanning
• Character Placement
• Virtual Joystick Movement
• Character Animation
• Mobile-Friendly Interface
• Built with Unity and AR Foundation

Technologies Used

• Unity
• C#
• AR Foundation
• ARCore (Android)
• XR Interaction Systems

Project Goals

This project was created as a technical demonstration focused on:

• Understanding AR workflows
• Mobile AR interaction design
• Character control systems
• User interface integration
• Real-world environment tracking

Controls

1. Move your device to scan the environment.
2. Wait for a valid surface to be detected.
3. Place the character on the detected plane.
4. Use the virtual joystick to move around the real-world space.

Development Notes

The project was intentionally kept simple to focus on the core AR experience and demonstrate practical implementation of AR Foundation features in a short development timeframe.
