AR FOUNDATION

Dislike

Unity runtime fee is most disliked thing i experinced and there are few other things unity should work on mainly webAR. as it takes lots time to open in mobile web so it needs to be a bit lightweight.

Dislike

The available resources(tutorials) are less for AR and if more is available then more people can come into this field. Takes up a lot of GPU space just like most creation software. The development on current AR experience solely depends on the improvement of such software.

Dislike

Updates that introduce issues.

    Oct 25, 2022
    As a AR developer I always prefer to use Unity for my creations. It provides one of the best and latest features for creating the most realistic Augmented Reality experience. The AI used by Unity functions helps in best real time occlusion and tracking of objects. If you are a beginner or a professional, Unity is the best option in experience wise and something that provides employability to developers.
