When I was a kid I saw this YouTube video on how to make a folder invisible on Windows. I have never looked back since then. My love for technology has only grown.
I started with security since that was one of the areas that fascinated me. Then i went on to win the award for designing using Photoshop at Cofas '2012. On the destructive side, I always made scripts that used to mess up the systems at my school. I was almost suspended. I learned my lesson and vowed to do only constructive things. To make people aware of security issues, along with 2 friends started a Facebook page and group called YAP
To make things more interesting Web development came into my life which helped me get into the most prestigious chapter at my college IEEE. This helped me master different things that got my attention
- Android Development
- Augmented Reality
- Machine learning
- Python Development
- Internet of things ( IOT )
I never really wanted to go to a college. Still against it but it made me realize that the joy of creating something with a team of people is unparalleled. I created a blog which helps people who are not so familiar with technology get familiar with it and benefit from it. It has more 5,00,000 views today.
Things I learned and am still learning from it are Writing,Wordpress CMS, SEO, Google Analytics and Adsense and how to market a product after creating it.

It seemed that there was a long gap in the training, and he came back and did an overlap in another version. The audience wouldn't have picked up on it except that there was a version change. But I tripped along in differences with the original version he started in, because there were definite improvements in the installation and installing packages, more seamless, so I was glad that the gap was there and that the latter part of the training was in a version closer to what I'm now using. The best parts of the training were with updated product. But even with this, I'm not complaining. The guy got some work and took a leave from training for a bit... can't blame for that. It was great tutorial no matter what.

Simple to follow, but due to new SDK kits and versions out now a bit outdated and external research needed to get the same result. Example being that with newer Unity, Vuforia objects and functions come built in when unity is installed (if packages installed), and building errors without an Android SDK for example, which needs to be installed separately and then Unity has to get setup to point to it (this wasn't mentioned or wasn't clear that this has to be setup). Pages with important and clickable links to things such as Vuforia/Unity/Android SDK could be helpful to assist with quicker downloads and navigation.

good course but i did find problems on the last part having to have the sdk to phone, My error is Build failure, Unable to resolve build tools directory. See the Console for details. tried looking up this fault no real answers...no fault of instructor but perhaps can go over faults that may arise and exporting to phone

It was much easier than I thought, but in the end it gives you exactly what is promised. You may face some Android debug/compile issues. Make sure to update Android Studio and packages (build tools). If you get an error about 28 api build tool, simply uninstall it. Vuforia is integrated to Unity now, so I suggest to update the course. If faced with compile errors, you may need some previous knowledge about Android Studio.

This course is exactly what I was looking for to get my feet wet playing with AR on Unity. I had already had some experience years ago with plain C++ and wanted to update my knowledge on the subject with the newer technologies, especially targeted to mobile devices. This course showed me what I was looking for and, following his simple explanations, I was able to create the project quickly and easily. Now I'm ready to move on to more complex examples. Thank you, Attreya!

Ce cours était très intéressant. Il m'a permis de découvrir les bases de la réalité augmentée. Merci Attreya Bhatt. This courses was very interesting. I discovered some basics notions in Augmented reality technologie. Thanks Attreya Bhatt.

I like that its extremely quick to complete and excellent value for £10, not sure I'd be happy for the full price though! Would be good if more content was added in, for example, the different model types (not just flat images), and how to interact with the AI (e.g. zoom in out, android touch controls etc). But an excellent and simple way to get going with the software.
By Chitalu Mumba on 9/1/2017
Thank you for all your hard work in putting together this course. Instructions were very clear and I didn't have to backtrack at all. The length of each video was also good for retaining what was learnt. The only trouble I had was that the sound was going low and high on different videos. Also, there were a couple of videos that were repetitive which was not necessary someone could refer to prior videos. Other than that, great class great instructor!!!
By Robert Crowder on 6/29/2017
It was a very good course. One thing I ran into was I had to install the Android SDK and the Java JDK. It is possible that I missed the part where that was mentioned though. I was able to follow everything else and after installing those two components created the run file and copied it to my phone and it worked like a charm.
By Piotr Dabrowski on 3/21/2017
The course is great, the only flaw was the fact, that voice in your videos is recorded too quiet. I had to put the volume bar on my PC almost to max level in order to hear anything. Apart from this fact, the course fully satisfied me, keep on doing such great courses!
