Hello,
I asked this question at “answers”, but someone anwered that I should ask it here, because it was a broad question.
Is it possible to make augmented reality on a video file? Let’s say I have Plane and movie playing on it. On that movie is a red car moving from left to right. I want a box to appear on the red car and follow the car to the right side. Is this possible to make? or augmented reality is only for real time video capturing from a mobile for example.
Hi!
In order for you to track the car in realtime on the video you would have to analyze the video frames in some computer vision algorithms. Not that easy to do, and I am not aware of any package that lets you do this easily inside Unity.
However, if you know beforehand what video file you are going to use, you could encode your own “tracking data” to use when playing back the video file. You could use a simple textfile to mark the position of the car at different points in time and space.
