    Hi Team,

    Using Unity MARS how can we detect real-time objects.
    Please suggest any supporting tutorials.
    Appreciate your response.

    Regards,
    Naveen

    Hello @naveen-ds,

    Out of the Box MARS doesn't offer object recognition; for this you will have to use another package and write a provider for MARS to do so (https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mars@1.3/manual/SoftwareDevelopmentGuide.html#providers)

    Depending on what your goals are you could use Apple's content anchors https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/content_anchors/scanning_and_detecting_3d_objects or you could use a machine learning model with Barracuda (https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.barracuda@2.1/manual/index.html) and use it within MARS, again you will need to write a provider for it.

    Hey Naveen, just as @jmunozarUTech suggested, I'd use Barracuda. You can make a quick implementation using this mediapipe model and further build over it. You'll just need to make a port to Unity.

    It's hard to believe that there hasn't been someone to incorporate this fundamental feature into MARS.
    I would personally really appreciate it.
    @eslicenses, did you achieve?

    My guess is that MARS is an augmented reality framework, not a convolutional neural network thus they won't be adding support for that. Sure it would make work lighter but I'd focus on adding other features instead of this one.
