what do I need for starting making ARs with unity ?
Hello
I want to make an android app witch has an AR on it . I want to use unity . I didn't work with it until now .
Q1) I already have unity . is it enough ? do I need some other programs or sdk ? ( for making AR . [ android ] )
Q2) can I write my codes in java ? or only C# / C++ ?
Q3) I want to change the color and the shape of the 3d obj. (AR) so I want a UI . can I make my UI directly on the camera view ? only with unity ? ( the user can be able to see the UI and use it when he is seeing the AR on the phone .)
sorry for my weried questions ...

Q1) I would suggest you use Vuforia, it's well-documented and comes with a free Unity package: https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/getting-started-unity-extension
Q2) Unity supports C#, UnityScript (a modified version of JavaScript) and Boo, so you can script in any of those languages. However. you're required to use C# if you want to respond to Vuforia API events, e.g. if you want to know when a target is found. More info here.
Q3) Yes, I would suggest you implement the UI in Unity. Changing the color of the 3D object used for the augmented reality is no problem using Vuforia.
