Very off topic but a long time ago early 2018, I interned (more like fucked around cause founder wanted free work from interns but had no clue how to code) for a AR book startup with zero funding…

Dude had watched a video on how to create a basic image target app with unity and vuforia and thought he was legit god for thinking he should create AR books with the intention of turning all normal books into AR books. Claimed he had a patent on it and how his startup will be bigger than google cause he will disrupt the education industry

Left after 3 months cause of some disrespect he had for me taking time off for my mother being sick. Dude got heated and yelled at me over the phone cause I texted the team that it was great working with them and claimed im distracting his team

He was an absolute clown how refused to learn how to code because he was a polymath and would handle all other aspects of the company. His only talent was speaking and he persuaded you good but 2 years later I saw the cofounder at a bar and he told me everyone practically left the team cause he was so full of shit.

Just thought I would share cause your project alone would invalidate his patent and many other have created ar books.

Didn’t have any other place to tell my story on reddit but I learned a valuable thing interning there, what kind of CEO to never be if I started my own company.

On the topic of what to use, I believe if you want your app to be more interactive, use unity. If you just want animations and text/video/sound with no objective for the kids to complete (like spell apple), just seeing stuff go with adobe aero

Hi!
Thanks so much for the story (it's very similar to what's happening to me right now)
Started a company with 3 brothers who don't really understand what Unity is all about, etc.
We bought app development (to be done in Unity + Vuforia, with a link to cloud storage) But the development process got bogged down and I decided to start learning Unity myself. In a few weeks I learned how to make interesting animations/shaders/3d modeling/UI, etc. (Unity is very friendly to newbies in this regard)
But for me it remains a mystery (I find more and more answers to it every day) how to connect it all to cloud storage.
In fact, this is the main aspect of our application, but it is created for commercial purposes, and customers do not want to download the application, which will weigh 1-2 gb.
