In the ever-changing tech landscape, augmented reality will quickly become a part of our everyday life and environment. From maps and translations to use in health and education, AR is so much more than a Snapchat filter or Pokèmon GO. Visualizations are no longer just images displayed in little glowing boxes, but augmented textures to the world.
Thanks to AR Foundation, AR technologies are accessible and easy to create for people with a background in developing.
At this webinar you’ll learn the basics of modern AR apps and make a simple AR application from scratch, using AR Foundation.
Together with the instructor, Kristijan Trajkovski, You’ll go through some of the most popular AR libraries and compare them. The instructor will also give insight into the basics of modern AR apps — surface detection, feature points, referential spots, light estimation, etc.
AR Foundation is a free package by Unity, that came out of the need to use ARCore (Google’s AR library) and ARKit (Apple’s AR library), in a simple way through a unified interface. AR Foundation enables the development of Unity AR apps, that function with iOS and Android devices supporting ARKit or ARCore.
