• Vuforia Unity Extension

Vuvoria (https://developer.vuforia.com/downloads/sdk)

One of augmented reality SDK, we will use the Unity extension feature because of its simplicity. To download you need to register first, and the you can choose the downloads for unity extension from the developer menu.

• Android SDK

Android SDK + Android Studio bundle (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#resources)

This was needed to compile the application we made in Unity to APK package for Android installation.

Android SDK only (this is an alternative for android studio bundle, using command line interface)

In the same page as above, scroll down and download the sdk tools

After that, using command line interface, go to the extracted tools directory, go to tools -> bin folder, then run the following command

sdkmanager.bat “build-tools;25.0.3” “platform-tools” “platforms;android-25”

this will install the required tools for exporting to android application, the download will be around 500Mb, so be patient.

Android SDK Tools (if unity have bugs with the latest version, replace the tools directory in android sdk with this one)
