Augmented Reality for UE4

To celebrate the release of the new v2.0 AR plugin, I’ve created a new AR demo.

Using the latest version of the plugin, I’ve made a version of the original Apollo 11 HoloLens demo that can be experienced on a PC with webcam, without owning an actual HoloLens device.

  • This looks like a great update. A few questions (as active users of the earlier version):
  • Does this work in UE5?
  • Is everything handled within Unreal or does ARToolkit still need camera setup outside the application? It sounds like it may be all managed in Unreal now that you’re using their media framework?
  • Can markers be managed solely in UE5 or do they need to be pre-configured with ARToolkit?

  • It works on 4.27 , UE5 version is on the way.
  • It uses the media framework on windows and android. No need to set anything outside of unreal.
  • Markers need to be prepared outside of unreal.

Hi ,
The plugin is awesome.
My target is to package this plugin to IOS on mac. Follow the doc, I finished Step1-8, but when i open the .uproject file, it comes this error. Do you have any idea to solve it?
Help please! I struggled for several days.

c. iOS

  1. You will need a Mac computer to package your code project for IOS devices!
  2. Install the latest xcode from apple app store
  3. Setup your iOS development environment,
    Setting Up an Unreal Engine Project for iOS | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
  4. Go to edit → project settings → iOS and import your mobile provision and certificate files
  5. Copy the SampleProject directory to your project directory
  6. your project by double clicking on the .uproject file
  7. Click on rebuild missing modules when prompted
  8. For IOS is necessary to add the following line to the Project Settings > IOS > Extra PList Data>Additional PList Data : <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key><string>Camera is used for AR functionality</string>
  9. File → Package project → iOS

Hi Adam,

I hope you’re well.

Could you please let me know how to obtain version 2.0 of the plugin, or the latest version that is compatible with both Android and iOS? The website currently only offers version 2.3 for download, which is compatible with Windows only.

Thank you!

I did like it! thanks. it is fun to watch
