18 Training content Basic Project Structure What should be paid attention to in Unity when creating a project with Windows Mixed Reality? What settings are supported in Mixed Reality and what effects do they have? The creation of a Unity project for use with Microsoft MR Setup of a specific enviroment for Microsoft MR solutions inside Unity is discussed and the relevant project structures and settings are explored. This incorporates a proper integration of version control and explanation of the various paradigms found in a Mixed Reality production. Deployment of the project to the target devices Limitations and proper handling of the hardware is the focus of this module. After setup of the project we re using the new environment to publish a first demo to the desired Univeral Windows Platform (UWP) output device. The positioning of 3D objects in the real word To make proper use of the Virtual Reality environment, we need to understand the Unity process necessary to structure a scene and furnish it with 3D objects. To seemlessly integrate any geometry into the Microsoft Mixed Reality, various concepts have to be understood first. The ability of the MR solutions to sense it s surroundings and accessing specific data of this kind is explained in detail. Combining the devices abilities as well as a solid Unity scene setup is key to any visualization. Dynamic instantiation at runtime Not everything in the scene can be setup before the application is started on the output device. To be able to change the scene layout or introduce new geometry, dynamic instantiation has to be incorporated at runtime. We discuss the handling of Unity for these situations. This will incorporate Prefabs, object hierarchies and performance considerations. Input in a Mixed Reality scenario Regular input devices like mouse or keyboard are not present in the MR scenario and are substituted by voice commands, gaze directions and tracking controllers. How to apply these special input vectors to a proper 3D application needs to be understood and is discussed here. 18

19 Understanding realtime 3D graphics in detail To visualize any desired setting in a Mixed Reality scenario, it is important to understand the underlying concepts of the displayed 3D graphics as well as their benefits and limitations in production. Various concepts like basic polygons making up the geometry, UV set mapping and textures, shaders and materials as well as lighting setups are discussed and used to refine the look of the output application. Best practices for production in Microsoft MR The ability to avoid the most common pitfalls in production is a very worthwile skill. Experience allows for swift execution of a production idea and in this module we learn how to apply the best fitting strategy to the correct situation. This will allow the students to side step any pitfalls that might otherwise show up down the road. Troubleshooting problems with framerate and performance Productions often suffer from many kinds of ill-tuned assets which show up as playback problems at application runtime. Programming code can be tricky to manage as well. Therefore the students need a solid footing in the ability to troubleshoot and debug their own productions. This is explained in detail in this module. Topics like the profiler and graphical debugging are incorporated as analysis tools for further study of the project internas.

23 Development with Unity on the Apple Augmented Reality Framework ARKit Introduction in Augmented Reality development for Apple mobile devices with ARKit This course provides students with introductory knowledge about Apple s ARKit and Augmented Reality development, on ios 11 devices like iphones or ipads. It covers a basic approach to setting up an ARKit system in Unity, that is then deployed via XCode to an accompanying device for evaluation. This serves as the foundation for the development of convincing AR applications, that integrate 3D graphics seamlessly with a live video feed of a handheld device. Topics like world and feature recognition via the video feed, placement of objects, as well as practical examples for many other AR topics will be demonstrated. Producing interaction with the placed objects is elaborated in the course as a further means of enhancing the AR experience. The ios platform and its complex ecosystem is a key focus in this course and should provide new developers with a jumpstart in this popular class of devices. Duration: 3 Days Price: 1.590,00 Course Location: Krefeld Dates: Target Audience Interface-developer, engineers, 3D-developer. Prerequisites Attendees must have experience in C# development in Unity and have an understanding of setting up Unity scenes for deployment. Theoretical background about 3D coordinate systems and Augmented Reality theory in general is needed, and understanding of 3D geometry and shaders is a plus. Prior ios development knowledge is a plus. All Prices plus 19% VAT. 23

24 Training content ios Development with Unity The development with ios is a complex challenge in the use of Unity to build AR applications. Codesigning and long development cycles are a common problem for many new developers who try to enter the Apple ecosystem. We learn in this training how to deal with device registration, XCode settings, Apple developer profiles, certificate generation and TestFlight publication. Unity is used as a basis for correct scene generation. An entire pipeline from editor to playback device will be explained. AssetStore Conditions and ARKit Plugins Unity is only one of the key elements for the development with ARKit. A part of the magic happens inside internal libraries on the Apple ios website, which need to be available in Unity first. We explain the usage of the AssetStores to integrate a correct ARKit integration plugin and use this knowledge to build our first ARKit connections. Prerequisites for a good AR experience Video integration has its own set of problems and limitations associated with it. Lighting conditions for feature recognition, data precision of extracted features and various other pre-requisites have to be understood, to start a well functioning AR experience. We will discuss the various ways to apply AR to a real world situation and show problematic scenarios that have to be anticipated in development. World Recognition and ARKit background How does the ARKit sense the world and make it possible for us, to integrate our 3D scene into the live video feed? We will take a look at the underlying principle of visual-intertial odometry and the resulting abilities of the recognition algorithms for connecting our hierarchy to the displayed backdrop. Coordinate systems are a key element to combine objects seamlessly with the sensed 3D point cloud data of the ARKit. Intersection hit-testing and dynamic objects Once we have a sense of our surroundings, it is crucial to be able to test for a valid point in the background space, so we can use the intersection to dynamically create a new object at this position. Instantiation is the key to this and together with Prefabs we will discuss a setup for cloning content into our runtime 3D scene. This enables us to place things in the world displayed by the video picture. Plane recognition and anchoring ARKit provides us with various high level information, that we can exploit for positioning purposes. Planes allow us to apply orientation on content according to the surfaces of tables, walls, etc. Dynamic anchoring 24

25 then makes these content elements move and position themselves accordingly in conjunction with the background scene. How to set this up, so it is connected to the various desired GameObjects, is a critical step for placing stuff in a fixed manner in the scene. Light estimation and occlusion For a seamless integration when the content is placed, an estimation of the displayed lighting situation in the video feed is necessary. Fortunately, ARKit provides the user with some data of the light scenario. We then discuss ambient light influences on the content in Unity and integrate the ARKit results. Occlusion is another topic needed for convincing positioning of the prefabs, since they need to hide behind walls or occluding real world elements like tables and such. The ARKit interface to this ability is discussed in detail as well. Debugging and visualizing the world around you Often it s easier to understand a scenario if it is graphically described in a visual overlay. How to show what ARKit is actually doing provides us with the benefit of understanding faulty behaviour in placement and orientation of our objects. This is done by visualizing certain properties of the underlying point-cloud detection and using these informations for a better insight into a displayed scenario. Performance constraints of mobile devices Mobile development presents us with special challenges in performance, since a lot of information has to be processed and displayed on a tiny handheld device in the application of Augmented Reality. Proper 3D geometry and performance constraints on logic and behaviours are paramount to allow for a smooth execution with high framerates on the devices. Since there is also a video feed involved, further processing overhead is present. We will discuss typical performance hogs and how to circumvent them.

32 Training content Geometry exchange between Unity and other software packages Getting the right geometry into Unity via any of the commercially and freely available software packages can be quite tricky. What transfers into Unity and how is the key to setting up the content in Unity for proper shading. The pitfalls of geometry formats are discussed and practical applications of the exchange is shown. Animation transport and separation of mesh shells are some of the deep topics discussed here. Polygons, Textures and UV sets Setting up geometry and it s various properties like normals and shading discontinuities is a basic requirement to have clean surfaces to display. Proper textures and their access in shaders are a very important point to accurately display good looking objects in Physically Based Rendering. UV coordinates and their grouping into sets allows for flexibility when shading an object. The module discusses setup of all these relevant parts in a genralized form across applications and how they re actually used and accessed in Unity through their shader interfaces. Shaders and Materials Understanding the shaders and their corresponding materials inside of Unity is the next step for completing the visualization. Here, all parts are integrated into a complete renderpass, taking surfaces, textures, lights and other influences to produce properly shaded pixel output. These concepts need to be understood at every turn to get the right output from the right input. Physically Based Rendering in theory The finishing touches for displaying special effects like glare and proper anti-aliasing is the domain of posteffects that are applied to the final output of the scene rendering. The module show examples of Unity s abilities to gloss up the final picture. Performance is an important consideration in this scenario and will be investigated by the students.

33 Real-World Interaction via marker tracking with Vuforia for the Microsoft HoloLens Introduction to Augmented Reality development with Vuforia on the Microsoft HoloLens This course provides students with an introduction to Vuforia Augmented Reality applications based on live video feed marker tracking. The positioning of 3D content via customizable marker images merges the scene content in a seemless way with the video picture and allows for astonishing augmentation of reality with virtual objects. The course elaborates on detailed ways to setup the tracking mechanism itself as well as specific prefab and scene setup for adding interaction to the placed objects. As a versatile, but simple to use technique for AR production, this allows new developers to jump right into this topic with a shallow learning curve. Target Audience The target audience are developers intending to start on Augmented Reality development with Unity and Vuforia on mobile devices or desktop computers. Duration: 3 Days Price: 1.590,00 Course Location: Krefeld Dates: Prerequisites Students need an understanding of Unity basics and programming knowledge in C#. Prior experience in Augmented Reality development is a plus. All Prices plus 19% VAT. 33

34 Training content Unity Vuforia integration explained As a target platform for Unity, Vuforia provides complex 2D and 3D marker tracking within an arbitrary video feed. This is based on the search for specific images and silhouettes within a video picture. We discuss the basic requirements for this and configure our Unity scene for initial deployment. AssetStore involvement To gain access to the core samples of the Vuforia SDK, Unity provides specific AssetStore packages for integration into a newly setup project. We will explore the available material and integrate the basic SDK system into our Unity project. Prerequisites for a good tracking experience Video is a tricky medium to work with in realtime 3D and needs a certain understanding of problematic scenarios arising in the process of image recognition. Lighting behaviour and feature recognition in the markers play a big part in successfully tracking any target live image. What constitutes a good marker and what to avoid is valuable knowledge to any AR production with Vuforia. We will show good marker properties based on example and show the different effects when tracking turns out to be problematic. Cameras and scene properties To allow for a correct display of content, the viewing camera has to be configured to work with the Vuforia video feed. We will show how to set this up and work with the correct components for scene display. Image Target and prefabs Image targets are the main tracking entities for positioning scene content. Depending on markers and the target geometry to display, it allows us to position a prefab geometry on top of the tracked marker features. Creating specific prefabs for display is a key element for making the displayed content accessable for the desired animations. Hierarchy grouping and coordinate systems provide us with the freedom to manipulate the prefabs inherent content in a later stage. Cylinder Targets and Multi Targets Flat image targets are not the only trackable content in Vuforia. Mildly distorted images on cylindrical objects can be tracked via Cylinder targets and combined tracking markers made up from more than one image are possible as well. We will look at these features in detail and provide examples for real-world scenarios. 34

35 Object recognition A very useful feature is the ability of Vuforia, to recognize previously registered object shapes within the video feed. This allows for a variety of three dimensional marking situations and provides the developer with a useful tool for many handheld AR applications. The process for this is explained and the scene setup is elaborated in detail. Animations and interacting with positioned prefabs Simply placing something on a marker is usually not enough for a complex AR interaction scenario. Prefabs have to be designed to carry logic and animations to execute at a later stage of the experience. We will look at Mecanim animation scenarios in conjunction with Vuforia and the necessary script logic to be able to interact with the Augmented Reality application. This will create an interesting experience for the AR user and allow us as developers to implement complex scenarios. Registration Interested in classroom or on premise training?
