🐦 AR Bird Aerodynamics — Unity + Vuforia

An interactive Augmented Reality (AR) app built with Unity (URP) and Vuforia.
The app anchors 3D bird models to real-world image targets and allows users to switch between them.
A custom particle system with a virtual fan model simulates airflow, helping visualize aerodynamic forces like lift, drag, and resistance for each bird.

Features

• Marker-based AR using 2D image targets
• Multiple 3D bird models with switching support
• Airflow simulation via particle systems
• Visualization of aerodynamic forces (lift, drag, resistance)
• Built on Unity URP for optimized rendering

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Unity 2021.x (or newer)
• Vuforia Engine (installed via Unity Package Manager)
• AR-capable mobile device (for testing builds)

Setup

1. Clone this repo:

    git clone https://github.com/R-Anurag/Educational-AR-Bird-Aerodynamics-Simulator-App.git
   

2. Open the project in Unity Hub.

3. Import Vuforia Engine via Window → Package Manager (or import your package).

4. Add your Vuforia License Key under:
   Edit → Project Settings → Vuforia Engine → App License Key

5. Build & Run on an Android/iOS device.
