Is it possible with any of the AR plugins that are currently in Flutter, to build something similar to this kind of app:

If yes, what would be a good example to get started?
If not, what would be another good approach regarding this?
I don't know the real capabilities of Flutter in Augmented Reality area.

I am trying to build an augmented reality application using flutter and i came to know that there are two libraries available for flutter
arcore_flutter_plugin for Android and arkit_flutter_plugin for IOS can anybody suggest me how can i implement snapchat like camera filters and record that video.
I don't think this is the correct approach to get a working face-filter project.
As far as I know - I am working on a similar project - the best choice as of now is DeepAR, which may enable you to work with some sort of Snapchat like face-filter.
Is it possible to embed a game created using the unreal engine in a flutter application, so that once I open the flutter application, I can navigate to a particular page to start the game and also communicate between flutter app and the Unreal Engine game?
I found that its possible to embed unity in flutter https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_unity_widget. This is what I am looking for but with the Unreal Engine. Is it possible to do the same with the Unreal Engine?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...
...From the research I've done, no it isn't possible. The recommended way of doing game dev in Flutter is by using the Flame game engine. Unfortunately, the tutorial on the repo seems to be a bit outdated but here's one that should be better. However, this seems like a complex but potential solution to your problem, here's the tutorial that the repo is based on.
To be clear, there is no native way to run UE games in Flutter
I have to make an app that uses virtual reality, so should I drop the idea of using Flutter?
yes as much as I have seen flutter does support AR,I have been following a flutter developer on twitter he posts some cool AR stuff built with flutter here's a plugin ARCore he has built for flutter.
here are some of sample AR videos from the developer himself

Can I build 3D (OpenGL) apps with Flutter?
Today we don’t support for 3D via OpenGL ES or similar.We have long-term plans to expose an optimized 3D API, but right now we’re focused on 2D.
https://flutter.dev/docs/resources/faq#can-i-build-3d-opengl-apps-with-flutter
there aren't any OpenGL bindings supported by flutter. Flutter is only a 2d only application.

I am not sure how VR would work at all on flutter.
You can use google's ar core with flutter. Check out the arcore_flutter_plugin to work with ar in a flutter.
As of now, there aren't any packages that specifically target VR. But you can use ARKIT arkit_flutter_plugin.
NOTE: ARCORE only works with android. And ARKIT only works with iOS.
I recently created a Flutter plugin for AR that supports both Android and iOS by wrapping around ARCore and ARKit: https://pub.dev/packages/ar_flutter_plugin
The plugin is a work in progress, but it already supports collaborative AR and sharing content through Google's Cloud Anchor Service and a lot of other useful features
I am developing an Augmented Reality app to be integrated into a website using Unity.I need to take output in WebGL. I am using Vuforia to create AR experience. Since Vuforia is not supported with WebGL, i am not able to build. Please suggest an alternate method or how to do Augmented reality in Unity for Web. Is there any alternative to Vuforia?
The good news is yes, you definitely can build an AR experience on the web!
The bad news is that none of the current libraries built for doing so offer a Unity plugin.. Meaning you'll either have to create a wrapper, do some complicated RPC call to talk to the JS library via Unity, or completely scrap Unity altogether and use only the library. To my knowledge, the best browser-based AR library is AR.js. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope you're able to achieve your goals. Good luck!
This is probably a bit late in the thread. But I'd like to add an option which might help. You can definitely build your AR app in web using WebGL as output. There is easy way to integrate it with a webiste too. SLAM based AR like Google ARCore is a great example to do it.
There are two options:
You can build such an app from scratch which will obviously take more time. Because apart from development, setting up hosting infrastructure is a challenge.
Otherwise, if you want to scale such AR web app development with low or no code and cloud ready hosting, you can use a SaaS platform called Marvin XR.
You can login and try it out for FREE: https://www.marvinxr.com:8443
Hope this helps the other folks who stumble upon this thread.
Can we create an augmented reality desktop application using unity which can convert all images from a school textbook into 3D objects. ? If yes, then what will be the procedure and what other tools do we need. ? It is our final year project and we really need help in this.
If watermark will not be an issue than you can use Vuforia library.
https://developer.vuforia.com/
It has nice unity integration and you can archive what you are up to in almost no time :). But it is not supporting desktop build out of the box, but below you have alternative libraries that do:

I can't say how good they are because I have never used them.
You can try artoolkit, stable and simple. Easyar is good but a little young.
I recommend using ARToolKit. You can target OSX, Windows and Linux if you need to. Also using the Unity plugin it should be easy for you to get started.
And if you decide to go on mobile later it also has support for iOS and Android.

They also have an active forum where you can ask questions and find help if you have the need:
