Overview

The project is organized as a standard Unity application with dedicated directories for assets, scenes, scripts, package dependencies, and project-level configuration. It is suitable for:

• AR simulation and concept validation
• Fast iteration on scene logic and scripts
• Testing Unity/XR project configurations
• Local development and team collaboration via version control

---

Key Features

• Unity project scaffold ready for AR simulation workflows
• Isolated folder structure for scenes and scripts
• Managed package dependencies via Unity Package Manager
• Editable project settings for graphics, input, physics, XR, and build behavior
• Compatible with iterative development in Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio

Important Notes

• Assets/ contains source assets you should version control.
• Packages/manifest.json defines Unity package dependencies.
• ProjectSettings/ captures editor and runtime configuration.
• Library/, Temp/, and most Logs/ content are generated artifacts.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

1. Unity Hub installed
2. A Unity Editor version matching ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt
3. Git installed

Setup Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repository-url>
   cd Unity_AR_simulation

2. Open Unity Hub and add this project folder.
3. Launch the project with the recommended Unity Editor version.
4. Open a scene from Assets/Scenes/.
5. Press Play in Unity Editor to run the simulation.

---

Build and Run

Run in Editor

• Open the main simulation scene.
• Press Play.

Build (General)

1. Open File > Build Settings.
2. Select target platform (Android, iOS, Windows, etc.).
3. Add required scenes to build.
4. Configure player settings and XR options.
5. Build and run.

Suggested Branch Strategy

• main: stable branch
• feature/<name>: new features
• fix/<name>: bug fixes
• chore/<name>: maintenance

---

Troubleshooting

Unity version mismatch

• Check ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt and install that editor version in Unity Hub.

Packages not resolving

• Verify internet access and package registry settings.
• Reopen project to trigger package restore.
• Remove Library/ (if safe) and reopen to force reimport.

Scripts not compiling

• Check Console for C# errors.
• Ensure script class names match file names when required.
• Confirm API compatibility settings in Project Settings.

---

Roadmap

• Add detailed scene-level documentation
• Add architecture notes for AR interaction systems
• Introduce automated validation checks
• Add platform-specific deployment guides

---

Contributing

1. Fork and create a feature branch.
2. Keep commits focused and descriptive.
3. Open a pull request with:
   • What changed
   • Why it changed
   • How it was tested
4. Request review and address feedback.
