Augmented Reality Cloth Facemasks with Unity and Vuforia

Description

In this course, you will learn how to create a one-of-a-kind augmented reality cloth face mask that showcases your creativity and technical skills. Led by an experienced artist, animator, and augmented reality developer, you will learn how to design a character with simple shapes, create a repeating pattern based on your character and designs, sublimate a cloth face mask, build an augmented reality experience for your face mask using Unity and Vuforia, code a rotation animation with C#, improve the tracking of your experience by tweaking the design, add 3D models to the experience, add custom animation to each of the 3D models using the timeline, and build an augmented reality app for an android phone.

Requirements: To complete the course, you will need access to photo editing software (such as Photoshop), sublimation paper, a sublimation printer, Teflon sheets, thermal tape, a heat press, Unity 3D, and 3D modeling software. You should also have experience with Unity and other creative tools and a knack for crafting.
