CS428 Virtual and Augmented Reality

Week 2 Homework - Due Friday 9/6 at 9pm Chicago Time

By this Friday at 9pm Chicago time you should have Unity set up and running with Vuforia and have gone through the 'getting started with Vuforia in Unity' tutorial. As part of that you should create or download a 3d model of your choice and have that model stand on the Astronaut image target (either printed out or on your phone or laptop screen) when the camera points at it. Make sure the model is an appropriate size to see it on the Astronaut image target. Take a screenshot showing the 3d model standing on the image target and add that to a new webpage that you add to your 428 website and a page of text on your initial thoughts about uses for this technology, assuming you were viewing it through your phone, and then through a pair of AR glasses that you were always wearing. If you use a model you found on the web be sure it is available for use and give appropriate attribution to its creator(s).
