Introduction

Vuforia is an Augmented Reality Software Development Kit (SDK) for all mobile devices that allows for quick and easy creation of Augmented Reality applications. It uses computer vision techniques to recognize and track images and simple 3D objects, such as figures, in real-time. The SDK supports a variety of 2D and 3D target types.

Since Vuforia is able to work on all devices, it is a quick and easy way to create VR applications. In this tutorial, we are going to make something inspired by the Harry Potter world, the moving news paper. 

In the film, Harry picks up a news paper and is immediately captivated by the moving images on the news paper showing the recent events. We can emulate something like this in Unity using Vuforia. Here is a video if you are curious what this will look like. and you have never seen the films
