Course details

Curious about ARCORE development, You have come to the right place. Learn the basics fundamentals and programming techniques required for building fully functional ARCORE apps. For this course you will need an ARCore supported devicerunning on Android version 7.0 or above along with a Mac or Windows Laptop / Desktop

So what is Augmented Reality?

According to Wikipedia,Augmented reality(AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are "augmented" by computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory input such as sound, video, graphics orGPSdata.

In Augmented Reality the real view is modified by a computer (Smartphone in this case). Augmented reality enhances ones current perception of reality, whereas in contrast,virtual realityreplaces the real world with a simulated one.Augmentation techniques are basically performed inreal time,

Eg : Displaying live scores and statistics inside a live video of a sporting event

Power of Augmented Reality & ARCORE

I came across Augmented Reality in 2015 after watching a video of Augmented Reality Book. I was fascinated to know that such technology actually exists. So I started researching on different Augmented Reality platform. Vuforia platform seemed very promising as developers all over the World have used Vuforia for developing Augmented Reality apps. But in recent time big tech giants like Apple & Google have also come up with their own Augmented Reality platform's and sdk's. Apple released the ARKIT AR sdkand Google released the ARCORE AR sdk

Pokemon Go game is the best exampleof Augmented Reality. Other than that Augmented Reality apps expand over a wide range of topics from Education, Business, Architecture, Health Industry, Home Decoration and obviously mobile gaming.

Course Content and Overview

This course is designed for studentsinterested in creating Augmented Reality applications using ARCORE & Unity. No codingexperience is required; all you need is an ARCORE supported Android phone and a Windows / Mac system for testing your Augmented Reality apps. We will start with thebasics of Unity, C# platform and then move to higher topics

Basics of Unity

Are you a beginner to C# programming? No PROBLEM, in this course I have created a small section in which I have explained the basic concepts related to Unity and C# programming

ARCOREONE

ARKITONE is the first ARCORE application which you are going to create.

• Import ARCORE sdk for Unity
• Understand the working of HelloAR scene
• Detect ground surface and place Andy model in Real World
• Place a Life Size Tiger in Real World

In this application you will

ARMAZECORE

In the ARMAZECORE applicationyou will

• Develop your own Maze from Scratch
• Move the Camera using FPS technique
• Create a Treasure gameobject with precious gems
• Move in the Maze to find the Treasure
• Scan the Ground surface, place the Maze on ground and find the Treasure in Real World

So after explaining you the course content I hope to see you inside this ARCORE Augmented Reality course
