Unity3D How to Create Augmented Reality Without Marker?

Question

I'm already make an augmented reality app that can read images marker, but I wonder if i can make augmented reality without marker in unity. Can anyone tell me how?

Answer 1

Maybe What you need is SLAM, I think. Simultaneous Localization And Mapping, and is markerless, just recognite and track the environment.

These are 2 videos about slam:

One is from kudan, one is from wikitude. If this feature is what you want. Then I am sure that what you need is SLAM.

You can get more from:

• wikitude slam
• kudan

And, vuforia is not adviced. In fact, Smart Terrain does recoginate the environment, it still need a marker.

Answer 2

You can use Google ARCore, Vuforia or 8thWall SDKs. All of them have motion tracking or extended tracking. So you do not have to use markers. You can take a look at ARCore HelloAR example:
