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).

[Research] Traditional Poster Design (4CTA1214)

Image
As you can see from the superman poster, there are only four main colours used which includes red, blue, yellow and brown. All elements are filled in with block colours with no shading which was a common colour theme for traditional posters of this kind. This poster may have been used to advertise a new Superman comic or movie depending on the year it was created. The expression on the characters face fits the title shown on the poster explaining that he is returning. This poster advertised Coca Cola, and looks as though this specific poster was used in the USA - due to the currency used. The whole aim of the poster is to incorporate this drink into working peoples daily lives. This is seen by the slogan, 'Work refreshed' and the small graphics on the bottom right of the poster. Displayed is a man working in a factory environment and a lady is working in an office environment both drinking cola during their breaks - to feel refreshed. In some ways the bottle and
