Notation et examens
Excellent introduction to Augmented Reality but not to ARCore. I was expecting to see at least how to create a basic hello world app in ARCore but nothing technical is provided. The course is too short.
Must go for it, if you are willing to understand AR at a very basic level. Teaches the AR and ARCore foundation using simplest possible explanation.
The course was awesome, I learned a lots of things
