Import easyar plugin to enable ar functionality

This tutorial describes how to enable the EasyAR plugin in Unity.

Use compatible unity version

Ensure you have installed a compatible Unity version (Unity 2021.3 or later). It is recommended to use the latest version of Unity 2022.3 or Unity 6.3.

Import easyar sense unity plugin

On the download page, you will see two versions of the Unity plugin: EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin and EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin (for Mega). The main differences between these two versions are:

  • EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin: Does not contain Mega support files and cannot be used for Mega development. EasyAR provides downloads of historical versions starting from 4.6.
  • EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin (for Mega): Contains Mega support files and can be used for Mega development. EasyAR does not provide downloads of historical versions.

When Mega functionality is not required, it is recommended to use EasyAR Sense Unity Plugin.
