This is absolutely ridiculous to charge for. Mic quality, teaching tempo, tons of issues. No it should be a paid course.

Combining VideoPlayer with tracked images was something I’d never built before. Now I have an AR app that brings printed flyers to life with embedded videos. Super cool.
By Wien Svanhild on 8/16/2025
Now that I understand image tracking and video overlays in Unity, I can envision a whole range of AR projects—educational tools, interactive marketing, you name it. Fantastic starter course.
