Vuforia Image Target Workshop

We created a new 3D Unity project and enabled Vuforia in the project settings.
We added an AR camera to the scene and ensured that the World Center Mode was set to 'DEVICE'.


We created a new license on the development portal to get a new development (License) key for our new project. After pasting this into the Vuforia Engine Configuration settings, we added a database to our license so we could add a target.

We added a 3D object, our .od file to this target and added this to the database.


We then downloaded the database, making sure to select the Unity Editor as the development platform.


We then imported this database into Unity.



We added a 3D scan to the AR camera which added this GameObject to the scene. 
We made sure that the object target was set to the Vuforia Camera so that the camera knew what object it was searching for.





We then added a cube to the ObjectTarget and placed this in the plane.





Below is a video of the cube appearing when the object is held to my webcam camera.



After we got the cube to work, I decided to download a 3D animated character from the asset store and made sure this was a child of the ObjectTarget GameObject.



Below is a video of the character appearing when the object is held to my webcam camera.

Chris showed us a previous student project that used AR to display an animated 3D wolf on a 2D image target (clothing).

Logo Design

I specifically wanted my logo to be an SG as these are my initials. Therefore I attempted to a few different designs until I found the one that I liked. For this post, I have put my logos on blackgrounds so that they are visible. This was my original logo however I wanted to change this slightly as I feel as though it didn't fit the feel of my website and was too simple. When creating this logo, I took into consideration my background and the type of style I wanted to go for. I was inspired by my favourite game FEZ as I really like what they did with the title of the game. If you look at their logo closely you can see the logo from both angles and really liked this effect. I decided to put the S and the G at different angles as it resembles a butterfly. When you see my logo from a different angle it looks as though a butterfly is flapping it's wings which I believe fits well with my background. I played around with the design of my previous...

Bootstrap Template

Image
I decided to use a bootstrap template for my website as I thought this may have made elements faster to implement as the template would already be responsive. I researched the benefits of using bootstrap and according to Christopher Gimmer in his 2014 blog 'Top 5 Reasons to use Bootstrap', he stated in his conclusion that, "...there are several benefits to using Bootstrap. The framework allows for rapid, responsive development that is consistent and well supported by the development and design community." His five reasons were, "Speed of Development, Responsiveness, Consistency, Customizable, Support" which I understand and agree with and therefore believe it is beneficial to use bootstrap in this project. This specific bootstrap template was similar to my mockup design and therefore by editing the code this template could look similar to what I had designed and invisioned.
