Take a tour inside Unity Labs
Unity Labs的幕后工作
Unity Labs creates prototypes, releases new technologies, publishes scientific papers, gives talks, and works with academia and partners on advanced research. We celebrate moonshot ideas: every project and prototype brings us closer to what Unity will become.
Project Mixed and Augmented Reality Studio
介绍Mixed and Augmented Reality Studio（MARS） 项目
This Unity extension gives developers the power to create games and applications that deliver on the promise of AR: apps that react to, and live in, the real world. At Unite Berlin, we shared a sneak peek of this robust toolset, which enables developers to move beyond building against single planes, and to start building in the real world without an enormous amount of custom coding.

“使用移动和网络摄像头等用户设备获取简单内容这一方面有很多尚未开发的潜力。 我们的使命是充分利用它！“
“As we write software for XR, we need to develop systems that support continually changing requirements due to the pace at which innovation is happening.”
“无论是在游戏，电影还是科学领域，我们都需要利用机器学习来应对不断增加的成本和复杂性。“
“我们将Unity Labs构建为一个可以提供深入思考的地方，专注于图形，渲染和前沿创作。“
“Unity Labs’ collaborative-research approach puts us in prime position to study and advance real-time engines.”
“我们正在为用户设计工具来构建未来。我们的目标是：将现实作为构建目标。”
“We work with bleeding-edge research of all kinds to explore what game authoring and development will look like in 10 years.”
“Unity Labs Grenoble is pushing the math and physics of rendering for better, faster, stronger graphics. We share our discoveries through world-class scientific publications and open-source prototypes.”
“Technical knowledge should not be the boundary of imagination. Instead, thoughts and intents should be interpreted by the machine to become the next programming language.”
“Autonomous robotics and machine learning open the road to game AIs that are both easier to author and more fun to play with.”
