Final Project

We have to refine our prototype into a complete working and functional product experience for our final project.

Based on the prototype I did in task 3, I wanted to add background music to it and also add one more scene as my prototype looks very simple.

For the background music, what I did at first is just create a normal button with a hover effect and also a script to make it able to mute and unmute the sound, but it only works in one scene. I wanted the music to play in the whole app (3 scenes), and also have the mute and unmute buttons. 

So I look for lots of tutorial videos, many of them are 10 to 25 minutes videos, I followed them step by step but still can't work, in the end, a 5 minutes video saved me :)

However, I did what I wanted by creating a button under the canvas (Sound button), and adding 2 images under the "Sound button" (the sound on and sound off icon image). After that, create a "SoundManager" C# script and followed the video's steps in Visual Studio Code. And finally, I got the music to play through my whole app and have a button to mute and unmute the audio.

Then, I also changed the colours of the letters or words to emphasize the letters or words that the users scanned.

And here's the final video walkthrough/presentation of my App:

REFLECTIONS

This project is finally completed! It is actually an interesting and fun module to me, but not when things don't work in Unity:) Especially when I watched a lot of long videos, but in the end, a 5-minute video helped me, and my feeling was so complicated:) But I'm still glad I learned how to make AR applications using Unity. It's so cool and fun, and I never thought I can learn and make my own AR application. Seeing that the file in Unity can be built and run on my mobile phone, I think I'm about to cry. I want to thank Mr. Razif for his feedback and for making his class interesting and fun. Thank you, sir, and everyone who helped me in this module.
