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.
