Is it possible to load 3D models dynamically / from the web (cloud), using Kudan SDK and Unity?
I want to make an app, which uses SLAM tracking & user can load products dynamically from the web? I have a grid of 3D models the user can click on to augment on screen.
Because if I don't do this? I will have to update the app on the app store in order to give my users new 3D products/models right?
You can use the following Unity tool to download assets from the web: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/DownloadingAssetBundles.html

we are developing and AR artwork viewing app. users can browse artworks in our app which is based on flutter and artworks could be checked in AR by loading unity part. we use AWS as server to provie artworks images in flutter. right now the problem is that we dont know how to send image of artwork from flutter to unity.
I try to use TrueDepth data from iPhoneX(Xs, Xr, new iPadPro) for Unity App.
Current ARKit plugin for Unity doesn't seem to access to TrueDepth. So I think I need to create native plugin in Objective-c.
How to create a plugin which enable Unity to access to TrueDepth?
Just obtaining RGB and D from iOS is enough.
Basically, I would like to make similar app in the link with Unity.

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.

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'm wondering what options do I have to merge a 2D game into WinRT app that's already developed. I've developed couple of games in Unity3D but not sure if they can be played as a part of WinRT app (launch on button click).
I've heard Microsoft provide XNA framework for game development. Would that be of any help in my case? The requirement is to launch game on button click and get back to app on back button click.
Please let me know if there's better approach/tool available.
Firstly you say you want to merge a game with a WinRT app - Do you mean you want to put a game inside another application, so perhaps have an app as a launch pad for you game? If you want to target WinRT with Unity I just looked at the platforms that Unity targets and Universal Windows Platform is listed there. You could write the application part in Unity couldn't you ? So that the app is just the first scene that you see. That might seem strange, but if you had to use unity and the app was just a small application with not too many requirements you could do it that way.
Xna has been discontinued. You should use other frameworks.
If you want to write it from scratch I would suggest that you write it as WinRT application (Universal Windows Platform) so that you can define the application UI in Xaml and write the game with a dedicated graphics/game api such as SharpDX http://sharpdx.org/ (which is a wrapper around DirectX) or perhaps even better, take a look at Win2D http://microsoft.github.io/Win2D/html/Introduction.htm which is a very impressive 2d graphics api.
In practice, both SharpDX and Win2D would target one of the Xaml controls that give you access to a swap-chain (eg SwapChainPanel, SwapChainBackgroundPanel, CanvasControl etc). These Xaml controls are integrated into the Xaml UI and can simply pop up when you need them and viola, your game is running.
Since it was a 2D game that I wanted to integrate with my WinRT app, I decided to go with Scirra Contstruct 2, designed specifically for 2D games. It exported the project as website which I hosted on my server and used a WebView within my app to load the game. Not only the performance is good, but, as a bi-product, it made the game cross platform.
Do I need Unity 3D? Once I make a game with unity 3d how do I 'port' it to the web instead of having it as a download? Can I do it with C#?
First you need to install a plugin from Unity called unity web player.
Then export your game to the web format, i think it is the first option in the build menu.
You upload it to your server and just play.
