Bluetooth LE (Beacon) to trigger the contents in AR app
It is possible, in an augmented reality application with Vuforia use in simultaneous markers (image targets) and Bluetooth LE (Beacon) to trigger the contents?
Thank you
Yes it is possible. But since Unity doesn't support Bluetooth access by default, you have to create a native Android app which acts as a bridge between the native Bluetooth API and your unity App.
I bought in the "asset store" the asset "Bluetooth LE for iOS and Android " which I already have succeeded in putting to recognize the beacons for a particular mac address . However I am not able to make that should trigger the contents of the increased Vuforia reality. Can you help ?
PS: excuse my bad English
@nmachado, What do you exactly mean by increased vuforia reality? Can you provide some more clarity.
@nmachado, Any Bluetooth LE device, (A beacon for instance) will only give you an approximate distance from the device based on the signal strength. You will not be able to use them as precisely as an Vuforia image target. For achieving more accuracy, you can combine the values from multiple beacons placed in all side of the room. And thus finding position of the device with increased accuracy. But you won't be able to use a beacon as an image target unless you stick an image target on top of the beacon
@anildas Hi,I am trying to do a project with the help of beacons.I am stuck at this point since I dont know how to connect to a android or IOS device using unity and get info about beacons.I know there are plugins available.How to create a plugin to get data from beacons.I do not know Java or IOS.All I know is Unity and Csharp.
