Augmented Reality (AR) Development for Professionals
Introduction
Welcome to the world of augmented reality (AR) development, where imagination and technology converge to create captivating digital experiences. In this dynamic and transformative field, opportunities abound for those eager to shape the future of interactive reality.
Imagine architects and interior designers using AR to visualize and showcase their designs in real-time, allowing clients to explore virtual spaces and make informed decisions before construction even begins. Medical professionals can leverage AR to improve patient outcomes, with the ability to overlay anatomical models or visualize complex procedures, enhancing surgical precision and training opportunities.
In the realm of education, AR opens up a new world of interactive and immersive learning experiences. Students can engage with historical events by virtually stepping into the past, or explore the depths of the ocean without leaving the classroom. Museums and cultural institutions can augment exhibits with additional information, creating interactive and enriching experiences for visitors.
Our training program is designed to unlock the secrets of AR development and empower you with the knowledge and skills necessary to bring your wildest ideas to life. Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to expand your expertise or a curious beginner taking your first steps, this immersive learning experience will guide you through the intricacies of AR creation.
What is covered by this course?
Whether you're a seasoned C# developer looking to delve into AR or someone new to both Unity and AR development, we have the perfect learning path for you. We offer two flavours to cater to your specific needs and background.
Flavor 1: Unity Basics and AR Development (Recommended for those without Unity knowledge)
If you are new to Unity, this flavor is tailored to provide you with a solid foundation in both Unity and AR development. We will start by introducing you to the Unity environment, its interface, and essential concepts. You'll gain an understanding of Unity's scripting language, C#, and its integration with Unity's powerful features.
Throughout this introductory phase, you'll learn how to create interactive scenes, manipulate objects, and implement basic gameplay mechanics in Unity. This preparatory knowledge will equip you with the necessary skills to transition seamlessly into AR development.
Once you are familiar with the Unity basics, we will dive into the exciting world of AR. You'll explore AR concepts, such as marker detection, tracking, and object placement. Through hands-on exercises and guided projects, you will gain practical experience in building AR applications, gradually advancing from simple AR interactions to more complex and immersive experiences.
Flavor 2: AR Development for Unity Experts (Recommended for those familiar with Unity)
For individuals who already possess a solid foundation in Unity, this flavor allows you to skip the introductory Unity tutorials and dive directly into AR development. With your existing knowledge of Unity and C#, we will focus on leveraging Unity's AR-specific tools, libraries, and frameworks to develop engaging and interactive AR applications.
Through a series of in-depth modules and practical exercises, we will explore advanced AR topics, such as surface detection, plane tracking, and spatial mapping. You'll discover techniques for realistic object rendering, lighting, and interaction in AR environments, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in augmented reality.
Whichever flavor you choose, our instructor will guide you through the intricacies of AR development, providing comprehensive explanations, code samples, and hands-on support.
By the end of this training, you will have developed a solid understanding of AR development principles, regardless of your previous Unity experience. Whether you are new to Unity or an experienced Unity developer, you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to create captivating AR experiences that bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds.
