Description: Developing an AR application can be intimidating for people who are new to immersive technologies. This course aims to help enthusiasts, designers, developers, and creators in general to embark on a journey of crafting their first AR mobile app with ARCore SDK (introduced by Google), and familiarize them with the tech capabilities of today’s mobile AR. Specifically, the course focuses on creating an app that showcases how to create and manipulate objects, as the most basic building block of AR applications. Unity, 3D modeling and coding knowledge are always helpful but not required, as we will provide a resource package for attendees to grab and use.
