This is a sample project for using Instant Tracking.
SDK: Metaio
Render Software: Unity3D
AI (Unity Plugin): R.A.I.N AI Engine
Script Language: C#

To Test the sample:
·
Make sure you have a camera
connected to your system, it is preferred if it is not fixed easier to control

if you click on any of themyou will see in the inspector “Coordinate System ID”This is the Id number which specify which Marker image is associated with this
marker.This information is predefined in the XML File
“TrackingData_MarkerlessFast”Located at the same folder as the markers
“AssetStreamingAssetsTrackingSamples”You may notice also the T1 & T2 Images in that folder. The
markers & the images there are no need for them but they exist because I
copied the XML file from the Previous sample “Marker Based Tracking
Sample”
