AR Development (Unity)

Build immersive Augmented Reality experiences. Master Unity 3D and AR Foundation to create apps that blend digital content with the real world.

Augmented Reality is changing how we interact with the world. This course teaches you to build mobile AR apps using the Unity game engine and AR Foundation (combining ARKit and ARCore). You will learn to detect planes (floors/tables), place virtual objects, and implement image tracking to trigger events. We explore lighting estimation for realism and face tracking for filters. Perfect for developers wanting to build the next Pokémon GO or IKEA Place.
