The project was based on creating a cereal box and can world in which the user can see the cereal box and cans through AR medium and watch the cans and cereal box transform in front of their eyes. It was a fantastic experience given my first experiments with Unity3D and Vuforia but definitely helped me understand the power of these tools to create Augmented Reality applications.
The application is divided into two different scenes –
- CS491_Project01 – It describes the world in fantasy, be it royalty, the game of thrones, star trek, Avengers, or something fun like Kungfu Panda. To run this scene, open the project CS491_Project01 in Unity3D. If testing in the classroom please make sure that the selected webcam is Logitech.Using this application you can see and visualize –
a. Cerealbox 2 as Game of Thrones – Put cereal box 2 in front of the camera and Visualize royalty, visualize dragons, visualize fire, Valar morghulis. The most royal of all the flakes, it’s the royal flakes. The stark flag bearer stands as the mascot in front of the castle and will protect the throne from all the home. Eat the cereal to be healthy, stronger and wiser.The models used in the scene are –
