This class will teach you the fundamentals of augmented reality (AR), and how to build an AR experience using ARCore. Through the four week course, you'll learn:
- How to identify different types of AR experiences
- Tools and platforms used in the AR landscape
- What makes AR feel "real"
- Popular use cases for AR
- How to create an AR use flow
- How AR experiences work
- Tools like Google Poly and Unity to build AR experiences
- Next steps to start building an AR experience using ARCore and other tools
This course will break down complex AR concepts to make them easy to understand, while also sharing expert tips and knowledge from Daydream's ARCore team. The course is great for beginners who are just getting started with AR or ARCore.
