Deploying our AR to PC – XZIMG Augmented Vision

Posted on by Syazmedia PLT in Tutorial, XZIMG Augmented Vision

Now that we have completed our first AR simple project as per our previous tutorial, lets try to deploy our XZIMG Augmented Vision project to PC

Accessing the Build Settings

Go to File, select Build Settings

You will see something like this

Add Current Scene to our Build

Click Add Open Scene to add our current scene to our build

Our scene has now been added to our build. It will be listed in Scenes In Build

Building the Application

Press the Build button

A window appears asking where you want to store the built application. You can store it wherever you feel is convenient. I usually create a folder called Output inside my project folder, once you selected your own folder, press Select Folder

The Application will start building

The completed Application will be stored at our selected folder

Testing the application

When you run the Application, this window will appear. I recommend to check the Windowed option, so that it is easier to move the AR app around when its running, otherwise it will run fullscreen. Its just a preference though

There it is, our application is playing happily from our PC
