Welcome to this tutorial to create a treasure hunting app, inclusive with and without vision!

Aim:

The idea of this tutorial is to do an augmented reality treasure hunt app on Android smartphone thanks to Unity. Why ? To get started with Unity, which is used to make video games, to learn how to make a smartphone application and become familiar with the packages (ie use features already designed by others) and the asset store (which is used to download elements for your Unity video games). Moreover, this treasure hunt is accessible without vision, as we can find the treasure without looking just with the audio feedback.

A important part of this tutorial comes from what I learned with this tutorial: https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/unity/quickstart-android

and with this on: https://unity3d.com/fr/learn/tutorials/topics/mobile-touch/building-your-unity-game-android-device-testing

Use the tutorial

Several possibilities exist, depending on your level of familiarity with the technologies used.

• Do you already master Unity and ARCore? The quick explanation is found on page (link) >> ""in a nutshell" <<.
• You know Unity but you need to know the steps? See page (link) >>"step by step"<<.
• You have never used Unity, and you want to have a tutorial where very thing is detailed and explained? The page (link) >> "all the steps and explanations"<< is for you.

Unity, what is it?

Unity is a video game engine.

• It allows you to create video games and applications for smartphone, PC, website and even TV.
• It works on Windows, Mac and Linux
• It allows to do 2D and 3D
• It offers a set of 2D and 3D objects, free and paid, to download on the asset store.

Augmented Reality, what is it?

Augmented reality consists of adding virtual elements (here, a treasure that makes noise) in the real world (here, the treasure will have a place: on the floor, a table, the ceiling).
