Video Playback with Image Tracking

Discover how to implement video playback in augmented reality triggered by image markers using Unity and AR Foundation. Learn to configure the AR Tracked Image Manager, set up video players aligned with reference images, and build a functional AR scene that plays videos anchored to real-world images.

We'll cover the following...

We will explore how to play a video upon image (or markerA marker refers to a specific physical object, pattern, or image that an AR system uses to trigger the display of digital content or information in the real world. When the AR device’s camera detects this marker, it calculates its position and orientation to accurately overlay and anchor digital objects or animations in relation to the marker in the user’s view. Markers are crucial for creating interactive AR experiences because they provide a reference point for integrating virtual content with the physical environment, making it possible to spawn AR components, such as 3D models or information overlays, precisely where the marker is located.) detection by our device.

Scene setup

Given below are the steps to set up a quick scene:

  • Duplicate the “ARImageTracking” scene from the previous lesson and rename it to “ARVideoPlayback.”

  • Clean up the “Hierarchy” window by removing the Lean Touch component.

These steps will provide us with the necessary GameObjects in the scene to start with.
