What is ‘Unite’ ?

Of course, No need of introduction. I know you know what Unite is. Unite is Unity’s Iconic events which held all around the world. Unite Europe (This time Unite Berlin), Unite Tokyo, Unite Seoul, Unite Los Angeles, Unite India, Unite Singapore are some of them. It’s a great place where talent and creative minded people gather. Concept artists, character designers, animators, game developers, gameplay writers, innovators and many not mentioned other people get together. Most of the time people are from the same country, same region and may include people from other regions around the world.

Meals and great parties. (Unity knows how to make people enjoy the event.)
Encourage new game developers. Don’t forget to visit showcase and give feedbacks.

Why ‘Unite Europe’ ?

Unite Europe and Unite US events are the Unity’s best events. (See disclaimer below). So Why Unite Europe special?

I think many of you have heard about Vuforia, An Augmented Reality SDK for creating Cross Platform AR experiences. Vuforia Engine got integrated as a platform to Unity from version 2017.2 and later. (Make sure you put a tick to Vuforia Augmented Reality Support when you installing Unity.)

There is a project called which is a concept by Sindresorhus. You can create Awesome projects on platforms and frameworks with a curated list of best content(awesome content) on the particular platform or framework you choose. Awesome lists are published under CC0 1.0 Universal license which means they are in public domain.

I have created few awesome lists like

So I searched for a Awesome list to get started on Vuforia. Oops! I couldn’t find one. So I created one and It’s is live at awesome-vuforia.

I have added some content which I followed to get in to Vuforia. But still lot of blank topics. So I request community to complete this Awesome list with awesome content on Vuforia so anybody who need to learn Vuforia able to get use of it. (Do not for get to read contribution guide before adding content.)

If you don’t know about contributing to GitHub projects, but if you like to help me on filling it, comment here your Vuforia links so I’ll add them to list.
