Front with AR Button
Front without AR Button
Out of the four projects I downloaded this was the fastest out of all of them. It was able to download and run on Unity in under a minute. When running this program, the frame rate was very smooth running at 35 frames per second. There were no runtime errors or scripting errors when running it. I undoubtedly liked the animation of the bird that flew around the tree. Nicole also added some bird noise to add to the environment and ambiance. It a red bird so it stands out from the scene. Because it is red, it doesn't blend in with the rest of the models. I enjoyed the models as well. These models were very nicely detailed and they were nicely texted as well. Everything stands and all the color is appropriate with their counterpart.
The sound is also unique here as well. When the book is not on the screen then the sound doesn't play. When I made my project this was something that couldn't figure out. This was nice because, with mine, it was shoveling, however, if the book wasn't getting pick up by the AR camera and still play when showing the back of the book, so I think the was in fact, really cool. The lighting in the scene was perfect too. All the objects were well light, you were able to see all the objects. The scene itself looked like a sunny day which goes with the book.
On the back of the book, it has an animation with George riding on ballons. This model is very nicely detailed which has him holding onto balloon string. George is also holding the Man with the Yellow Hat’s, hat. I also like how all the ballons are a different color, makes it look like Nicole worked on the littlest of details. Everything just flows together and works well with one another.
I also like how responsive the button is on the back and the front of the book. It can quickly go to and the review and the information to them. I like the little hand that is on the review board. This color helps them stick out and be able to tell which ones are negative and positive reviews. I like how Nicole put her video review. The audio was very clear and clean, you can see Nicole face very clearly in the video. No troubles were running it. When trying to capture the image, it was able to capture really fast and be able to track it very fluently.
One of the things that I thought would need a little improvement would be to put a black background on the text. This would make the white text stand out. This will also help the text look clearer and sharper then it does now. I would also put a box where the “See Review” button. This would also make them look sharper and clear. Other than that, is this was a very excellent project and was made with a lot of care.
