Overview of this book

Are you a mobile developer or web developer who wants to create immersive and cool Augmented Reality apps with the latest Google ARCore platform? If so, this book will help you jump right into developing with ARCore and will help you create a step by step AR app easily. This book will teach you how to implement the core features of ARCore starting from the fundamentals of 3D rendering to more advanced concepts such as lighting, shaders, Machine Learning, and others. We’ll begin with the basics of building a project on three platforms: web, Android, and Unity. Next, we’ll go through the ARCore concepts of motion tracking, environmental understanding, and light estimation. For each core concept, you’ll work on a practical project to use and extend the ARCore feature, from learning the basics of 3D rendering and lighting to exploring more advanced concepts. You’ll write custom shaders to light virtual objects in AR, then build a neural network to recognize the environment and explore even grander applications by using ARCore in mixed reality. At the end of the book, you’ll see how to implement motion tracking and environment learning, create animations and sounds, generate virtual characters, and simulate them on your screen.

Exploring the samples

Now that we have an AR-enabled web browser, we can proceed to exploring some examples. Follow the instructions in the mentioned steps to explore the samples:

  1. Open Command Prompt or shell to the Android folder and enter this:
git clone https://github.com/google-ar/three.ar.js.git
  1. Ensure that your http-server web browser is running from the Android folder. If you need to start the server again, just run the command from the last exercise.
  2. Point your web AR-enabled browser (WebARCore) on your device to a valid endpoint URL. Again, check the last exercise if you forgot how to do this. If the page goes black or is unresponsive, you may have to reset the app. Just shut down the WebARCore browser app and restart it.
  1. Browse to the three.ar.js/examples/ folder. Inside this folder, you will find a set of example HTML pages of AR apps developed with...
