Introduction

President Washington and the Hedgehog is a marker AR physics-based mobile game that you can play with a one-dollar bill.

Marker AR is a way to overlay digital content on top of real-world objects, using computer vision techniques. It's usually used for extended information display. Physics-based game usually simulates physical collision and gravity to give players a more realistic experience. The project is intended to explore a way to combine physics-based experience into a real-world object with marker AR. It is built in Unity game engine, with Vuforia to support marker recognition.
