Applications of Mixed Reality with Unity and Arduino

الملخص

: in a fast-developing world of augmented reality and virtual reality, where advancement in both AR and VR has been unprecedent. there is a case to be made with mixed reality also. Basically, mixed reality a form of augmented reality where physical interactions can be made with computer generated objects placed in the user’s environment using physical input methods. This can have a profound impact on the way augmented reality application are developed and can open a world of endless possibilities for AR applications.

In this paper, a study of mixed reality application development is carried out using Unity as a development environment for mixed reality applications, along with Arduino for the development of different input/output methods used within the experience.

Unity is a game development engine that can be utilized to develop AR/VR/MR applications. The extensive toolkit in Unity enables developers to create applications with 3d models that can be experienced though AR glasses or devices capable of AR. Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Using Arduino microcontrollers and a variety of sensors, input and output methods, AR experiences can be made interactable physically.
