I won’t bore you with an intro. You’re here to build an AR app. Let’s get started.
What You’ll Need
- Vuforia Studio — Sign up for a free trial: https://studio.vuforia.com/
- A 3D model you want to view in AR. There’s tons of great free content on GrabCAD, Turbosquid, and Sketchfab.
- A smartphone (iOS/Android), or various wearable devices, including the Microsoft Hololens. See the complete list here.
- The Vuforia View app (Android, iOS, Windows)
1) Install and Run Vuforia Studio
While Vuforia Studio is installed on your computer, and the files for your projects are stored on your computer, the application/editor runs in your browser. This is because what you’re building is actually a web application, using typical web development frameworks like AngularJS and CSS. But we won’t get into that now.
