This was an excellent introductory course. I recommend for any educator who wants to have a basic understanding of augmented, mixed and virtual reality.

This is an informative course and I can say it's a perfect introductory course for those who are looking to understand how the current momentum is for AR/VR. As this is a teach out ,you shouldn't expect any teaching stuff related to coding/creating a prototypes in VR but this is absolutely a basic thing to start with.Loved it.
