Description

AR Foundation is a specialized framework designed specifically for augmented reality development, enabling the creation of immersive experiences that can be deployed seamlessly across various mobile and wearable AR devices. It incorporates essential capabilities from leading AR technologies such as ARKit, ARCore, Magic Leap, and HoloLens, while also offering distinctive features unique to Unity for developing robust applications that can be distributed to internal teams or published on any app store. This framework allows developers to leverage a cohesive workflow that integrates all these functionalities. Furthermore, AR Foundation provides the flexibility to carry forward features that may not currently be available when transitioning between different AR platforms. Should a feature be active on one platform but absent on another, the framework includes provisions to ensure it can be seamlessly activated later. When the feature becomes available on the new platform, developers can easily integrate it by simply updating their packages, eliminating the need for a complete app rebuild. Additionally, Unity users can benefit from an array of innovative features and workflows, including the Universal Render Pipeline and ECS, enhancing their AR development experience even further. This comprehensive approach positions AR Foundation as an invaluable tool for developers in the rapidly evolving field of augmented reality.

Description

MRTK-Unity is a Microsoft-led initiative that offers a comprehensive suite of components and functionalities designed to streamline the development of mixed reality applications across various platforms using Unity. It includes a versatile input system and foundational elements for spatial interaction and user interface creation. The framework allows developers to quickly prototype through in-editor simulations, providing instant feedback on modifications made. Additionally, it serves as an adaptable system where developers can easily interchange essential components. Among its features is a button control that accommodates multiple input methods, inclusive of the articulated hand tracking available on HoloLens 2. Users can also access a standard UI for the manipulation of objects within a three-dimensional environment. There are scripts available for object manipulation with either one or two hands, and a 2D-style plane that supports scrolling through articulated hand input. The toolkit includes scripts to enhance object interactivity with visual feedback and theme customization. Furthermore, it offers various object positioning behaviors, such as tag-along, body-lock, constant view size, and surface magnetism, along with a script designed for arranging an array of objects in a three-dimensional configuration, making it a robust choice for MR app developers. Ultimately, MRTK-Unity empowers developers to create immersive experiences with greater efficiency and flexibility.
