Installing Unity & Vuforia- I followed a list of YouTube recordings uploaded by my lecturer from my previous university titled (Week 5 - Unity + Vuforia)
- I installed unity version (2022.3.20f1)
- Even though this is not the latest version of Unity, Josh suggested that the version with LTS written on the side is better because Unity is constantly updating the software.
- I installed Vuforia Engine from the website.

I created a license in Vuforia so I can use the AR camera in my project.
Creating a Sample Image Target
- The most important thing is for your image target to be scannable in the sense that it is high-quality and has unique characteristics. E.g if it was just a regular square as your subject, it would be harder to scan because a lot of objects in our surroundings possess similar corners or edges.
- Should aim for 5 stars after uploading the image on Vuforia
- Can view more information on the website
- 1 unit in Unity is 1 metre in real life

Adding Sample 3D Object on Image Target
- I got the low poly tree from the Unity Asset store and imported it into my project
- wondering how large can I make the 3D model
Animating 3D Model
I created a bouncing animation for my 3D model.
Creating the UI Design
- I added buttons to control when the animation starts and stops by creating two animations; the bounce and the idle.
- if you want custom fonts, you need to download and import them into the assets folder before you can see them in Unity.
- Button functions: If you want the game object to disappear, go to OnClick > GameObject > SetActive(bool) and untick the box.
