Creating an Augmented Reality Game

In this chapter, we will be exploring augmented reality (AR) using Xamarin.Forms. We will be using custom renderers to inject platform-specific code, UrhoSharp to render the scene and handle input, and MessagingCenter to pass internal messages around in the app.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Overview of the project
  • Setting up the project
  • Using ARKit
  • Using ARCore
