Firstly, thanks very much for the very useful and well moderated forum. I am AR enthusiast from Italy that is particularly interested in the application of this technology to create AR experiences in cities and architecture. I have no experience in game development and very limited knowledge of programming. Luckily it is full of great guides out there and I am willing to learn! I face a dilemma. Which engine to use for AR development? Unity or Ureal? Below some considerations that I came up with after looking for threads similar to this one. Unreal: -PRO: many free add-ons, high quality of images, -CONS: Low quality of AR demos and videos (shaky and not fluid) Unity: -PRO: High quality of AR demos and videos (Fluid and stable), Vuforia easy to use, large dev community. -CONS: few free add-ons, quality of images slightly lower than Unreal. Based on your experience with AR which one would you suggest me? Which one is easier to approach for a beginner like me? Many thanks in advance! :lol: Fregazoid
