Course Description

Demand for Augmented Reality (AR) applications is currently growing exponentially, and almost all big companies are investing in AR because they believe it is the future. With the bloom of metaverse and Augmented Reality (AR) glasses on the horizon, AR application development skills will be highly rewarding in the future.

What if you can design Augmented Reality (AR) games and experiences with the latest state-of-the-art techniques such as real-world object recognition, hand detection, plane tracking, and more without worrying about image processing, video processing, and machine learning stuff?


But when you search online, the problem is almost all AR Coding courses are outdated, created years ago, and do not contain updated information.

I am Yasas Sri Wickramasinghe, a Ph.D. student at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. I am doing my research specifically focusing on Augmented Reality Game Design. I am a lecturer, co-founder of an AR/VR startup, and a lead software engineer.


I am presenting you with the easiest and most updated Augmented Reality course. This course is suitable for any level, including beginners. However, it will be easy for you to get started quickly if you know how to work in Unity 3D. (Don't worry. If this is the first time you are going to try Unity 3D, let me know. I will send some resources to get familiar with it).


If you are not familiar with designing Augmented Reality experiences,  I guarantee you will be able to design AR apps upon completing this course! You will realize how easy it is to bring your creative ideas into reality with Augmented Reality.


Learn how to build advanced Augmented Reality applications with:

  • Niantic Lightship ARDK

  • Unity 3D

  • Hand Detection for AR

  • 3D AR Object Recognition and Plane Tracking

  • Configurations in AR

  • Building and Testing AR Applications on Mobile Devices

Also, suppose you are a research student looking into Augmented Reality, Human-computer interaction, User experience (UX) designing, or User Interfaces (UI) designing. In that case, you can enroll in this course and add a lot of value to your work.

This course mostly focuses on practical aspects of Augmented Reality, and it will be a great investment. I will be providing all the source code and further resources as well. All the students can reach me for further clarification.

So, why are you waiting? If all of this sounds great to you, Let's start learning!


Cheers,

Yasas

Great course! Everything was explained very well. I had a couple issues with the hand tracking project, but figured it out pretty quickly. Great intro course for beginners, but would love some more advanced projects in future course. Overall, great intro to AR in Unity, updated software versions, and gets you up and running your app in no time! I finished the entire course in one day :)

By David Wyrick on 3/9/2023

Definitely worth the time! Author provides by step instructed examples using Niantic Flagship and Unity Hub. Featured content includes plane detection, adding semantic segmentation into AR and AR hand detection. Very cool!

By Hector Wilson on 2/25/2023

amazing course. everything is packed into this course covering surprisingly advanced AR concepts in simple manner. many courses teach WHAT is AR and WHAT you can do with it, but this course teaches WHY YOU NEED TO USE AR and HOW TO DESIGN AR APPS and GAMES!!! from the scratch to the more advanced applications. Worth to enrol this course.

By Nissam Amjad on 2/4/2023

I have attended many XR workshops but everyone of those were just touching theories and concepts of the technology. But this course focuses getting the work done. It covers HOW to create an AR game. Not just simple AR apps but extremely impressive top notch apps. Instructor explains everything from very beginning so I could develop my own AR apps. Best!!!!!

By Sacheliz on 2/2/2023

Simply WoW! I never thought that I'd be able to build an AR app in such a short time. I just followed this course and here I am testing my first AR app! Thanks for this masterclass!!!

By Lousie Charlette on 1/19/2023

Amazing experience! Really worth to buy this course! He takes everyone from Zero to Hero (I really mean it, This course includes highly advanced practicals) in one go! Thank you!

By Dalfina Seline on 1/5/2023

This course helps me a lot to complete my course work and project! I really enjoy learning AR thanks to this course!

By Justin Lambias on 1/1/2023

Great course! I am using Android phone and I could test the AR app on my phone. Very interesting to learn more.

By Programmers Hub Institute on 1/1/2023

Our learners are really appreciating your course and many of them developed their AR experiences just by watching this course. Absolutely a great deal! Best!

By Andrea Peiris on 12/31/2022

Wow! I really loved this course. Everything explained clearly and I could build my own AR app just by following this course. I am so thankful to the instructor for creating this course. Absolutely worth it! Very talented and knowledgable instructor. Highly Recommended.
