Easy way to start is explore the examples inside this project. Just need Unity and OAK device. - Clone the repository to location on your local machine ```shell git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-unity.git ``` - Install Unity (recommend latest 2021.3.x LTS) ## Windows 10/11 - If you're using Windows 10/11 you don't need to install anything special to have OAK device up and running. ## MacOS - libusb1 development package (MacOS & Linux only) ```shell brew install libusb ``` - OpenCV 4.5 ```shell brew install opencv@4 ``` (see below how to compile the C++ library) ## Linux ### Ubuntu - libusb1 development package (MacOS & Linux only) ```shell sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev cmake git-all ``` - OpenCV 4.5 ```shell sudo apt install libopencv-dev ``` ### Fedora ```shell sudo dnf install libusb1-devel opencv-devel cmake gcc gcc-c++ git ``` if you get any message related to udev rules try: ```shell echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-movidius.rules sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger `````` --- Steps: - Open Unity project under folder `OAKForUnity/URP` - Click on menu option "OAK For Unity" -> "Example scenes" - Hit play **Important: Connect OAK device using USB3 cable for optimal experience** # Examples Unity project `OAKForUnity/URP` includes following examples. Each example has its own unity scene and C# script showing how to use the results from the pipeline and has its own C++ pipeline. Unity scenes could be found under folder `Plugins/OAKForUnity/Example scenes/` and C++ pipelines under folder `src/` ## Playground Main menu to explore all the examples Go to menu on top: "OAK For Unity"->"Example scenes" and hit play ## Streams Access to device camera streams, including stereo, depth and disparity ## Point cloud / VFX Point cloud generation from depth ## Face Detection Face detector model running on OAK ## Face Emotion Face detector model running on OAK ## Object Detection Object detection using tiny yolo model ## Head Pose Head pose estimation ## Unity Bridge ### Color camera preview Color camera preview using depthai-python example. ### Hand Traking (Blaze hands through Unity Bridge) Hand tracking using excellent python [repo](https://github.com/geaxgx/depthai_hand_tracker) from geaxgx Requirements to run this example: ```shell git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-unity.git git submodule update --init --recursive cd unity_bridge python -m pip install -r requirements.txt python .\depthai_hand_tracking_unity_bridge.py --use_world_landmarks --gesture ``` Using right hand gesture "FIST" + hand rotation controls scene sun rotation.

For more information take a look at [Unity Bridge](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-unity/raw/main/#unity-bridge-python) # Build C++ library ## How it works Unity standard plugin mechanism (usual in other platforms) is based on dynamic library interface between C# and C++ (depthai-core library) in this case. We provide some prebuild libraries with the unity project, but also full source code could be found under `src/` folder to build library your own. ## How to integrate your own pipelines In case you want to extend the unity project or your own project with your own pipelines, you need to develop C++ depthai pipeline, C# interface and compile dynamic library. Under folder `src` you could find the C++ pipelines implementation for plugin examples, that could be good starting point to develop your own pipeline. Before C++ implementation, there is option to develop in python and use [unity bridge](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-unity/raw/main/#unity-bridge-python) to experiment inside unity. To build the plugin library follow steps below: ### Windows 10/11 ```shell git submodule update --init --recursive cmake -S. -Bbuild -D'BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON' cmake --build build --config Release --parallel 12 mkdir OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/Windows cp build/Release/depthai-unity.dll OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/Windows cp build/depthai-core/Release/depthai-*.dll OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/Windows ``` ### MacOS (dylib) ```shell git submodule update --init --recursive cmake -S. -Bbuild -D'BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON' cmake --build build --config Release --parallel 8 mkdir OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/macOS cp build/libdepthai-unity.dylib OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/macOS cp build/depthai-core/libdepthai-* OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/macOS ``` ### Linux (.so) ```shell git submodule update --init --recursive cmake -S. -Bbuild -D'BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON' cmake --build build --config Release --parallel 4 mkdir -p OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/Linux cp build/libdepthai-unity.so OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/Linux cp build/depthai-core/libdepthai-* OAKForUnity/URP/Assets/Plugins/OAKForUnity/NativePlugin/Linux ``` We provide a small framework, taking care of unity life-cycle, so it's easy to extend the interface with your specifc use cases and custom models. ## How to integrate on your own unity project Unity project includes main menu to navigate throught the examples. In case you want to integrate the core of the plugin with your own project, it's easy to export the core framework as .unitypackage. We're currently working to provide the plugin through Scopely and Unity AssetStore so would be much easier to add the plugin to your project. # Unity Bridge (python) Since we released the initial version of the plugin, we got many feedback about the pain points to develop and extend the plugin. One main recurrent feedback is the need to develop the pipeline in C++ making slow the developing cycle. We know by self-experience. DepthAI library comes also in Python flavour, so many community projects are available only on Python. Also developing with python is much more convenient, even to develop only a prototype, as there is no need to compile and reload dynamic libraries. In the future we want to explore also the creation of C# wrapper around depthai-core C++ library. Unity Bridge is simple TCP socket bridge between Unity C# (using Netly) and Python, enabling reliable client/server approach: - Reliable client/server approach based on TCP socket, similar to other unity python integrations like ROS-TCP connector - Allows faster dev interations without C++ implementation and compilation - Allows to integrate very easly community projects only available on Python - Allows to develop prototype and after validation, develop the pipeline in C++ if you prefer to pack in dynamic library - Allows to deploy application on other client platforms (lightweight, not supported like VR, mobile, ...) thanks to the client-server architecture - for example, external VR apps ## How it works Unity app would act as client, DepthAI python app would act as server. **Remember to start the server before playing the unity scene** In this initial version, client is expecting to request image and results to the server. On Unity side, we decided to rely on Netly framework as it's production ready and bullet-proof on many projects during time. It's integrated on the same framework that request results from dynamic library, so it's very similar to integrate and even allow compatibility between the standard C++ and python modes in the future. ## Installation Requirements are very similar to run any depthai python application. For python we recommend to use conda environment: ```shell conda create -n depthai-unity-env python==3.10 -y conda activate depthai-unity-env cd unity_bridge python -m pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ## How to integrate external projects Usually DepthAI application runs on main loop (while) where oak camera pipeline is running and returning results from AI models. ### python server app We used the [color camera preview example](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python/raw/main/examples/ColorCamera/rgb_preview.py) from the python repository to illustrate the process and you can find under `unity_bridge/test_unity_bridge.py` - Initialize unity bridge - Prepare data serialization - Send data back to Unity We prepared dynamic serialization to make more easy send data back to unity from python. ``python test_unity_bridge.py`` Start python server with OAK color camera preview, waiting for client to connect. ### unity client app Inside the unity project, you will find new folders under `Example Scenes` and `Scripts` called `UnityBridge` Open scene called `Test` and hit play. You should see oak color camera preview and some placeholder results from python. **Important: start server first before starting client** **Important: remember OAK devices can only run one pipeline at time, so it's not possible to run C++ examples if python server app is running at same time, so remember stop server app, in case you want to run other apps** ## Hand Tracking - depthai_hand_tracker by geaxgx start server: ``python .\depthai_hand_tracking_unity_bridge.py --use_world_landmarks --gesture`` unity client scene: HandTracking.unity under folder `Example Scenes/UnityBridge` # What's new - 2024/1/30: Complete examples with python unity bridge and hand tracking example # Known issues - If you're using OAK-1 (don't have stereo depth support) you need to disable depth on the examples, to prevent crash. UseDepth = false; config.confidenceThreshold = 0; - If you just use the precompiled depthai-unity library inside Unity, be sure you're using latest version. # Roadmap Help build the roadmap checking out our **[Roadmap discussion](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-unity/issues/1)** and feel free to explain about your use case. # Contributions and Acknowledgments First of all, Special thanks to **@sliwowitz** and **@onuralpszr** for their contribution and patience with Linux support ! ## Community Projects Are you building spatial app using OAK For Unity?
