Vuforia is a platform for building augmented reality applications using computer vision. It allows developers to create AR apps that can track images, objects and other targets in real-time. Vuforia supports both Android and iOS applications and integrates with the Unity game engine. To develop with Vuforia, developers import the Vuforia SDK into Unity, add tracking targets using the Target Manager, and deploy the Unity application to mobile devices.
