Build intelligent AR applications

Unity MARS brings environment and sensor data into the creative workflow, so you can build intelligent AR apps that are context-aware and responsive to physical space and can work in any location with any type of data.

SPECIALIZED WORK ENVIRONMENT

Professional-grade workflows for AR development

A user interface (UI) specifically designed for AR:

Author complex, data-oriented apps visually
Test experiences without leaving the Unity Editor
Deliver apps with runtime logic that adapt responsively to the real world and work across platforms

“We don’t see ourselves creating AR applications without [Unity] MARS going forward.”

Will Humphrey, Lead Creative & Studio Manager, Sugar Creative

“Using the [Unity] MARS simulation view we’re able to quickly iterate content while testing it in a variety of unique environments, all without making a single build.”

Jamie Innes, Creative Product Lead, Fictioneers

Key benefits

WYSIWYG authoring experience

Author complex, data-oriented apps visually with a customized window for AR creators that includes tools and UI that give you the power to see, prototype, test, and visualize robust AR apps as they will run in the real world.

Intelligent real-world recognition

The query system gives apps contextually relevant behavior based on the user’s surroundings. Pull in any kind of data – semantic object recognition, location data, map data, product data and more – from any source to include in your AR experience.

Responsive visual authoring

The procedural authoring system uses proxies to represent real-world objects, conditions, and actions as a framework.

Test in the Unity Editor

Test your AR experiences against a variety of examples of indoor and outdoor spaces without needing real-world data on hand or physically testing the experience in every real-world environment you want your app to work in.

Fuzzy authoring

Use gizmos for “fuzzy authoring” to define minimum and maximum measurements for real-world objects rather than coding precise measurements.

Multiplatform AR dev framework

Build your experience once and deploy across all AR platforms, including ARKit, ARCore, Magic Leap and Hololens devices, with AR Foundation. AR Foundation is the preferred method for bringing real-world understanding into Unity MARS.
