We’ve covered the basics of AR targeting in the first few lessons and now we move on to an exciting feature: a virtual button that can recognize when you are touching it. I used Photoshop and designed a custom image Target in the style of a game board. There are placeholders for 3D models of a cube and a sphere, and there is a “button” as well.
The completed scene when run on your Android device will recognize button press and switch from a sphere to a cube hovering over the game board display.
The possibilities for interactive displays and art exhibits are endless. I look forward to seeing how this technology will grow and develop to be used more in the future. Feel free to contact me if you need any projects completed using this amazing technology.
