Description

Curious about ARCORE development, You have come to the right place. Learn the basics fundamentals and programming techniques required for building fully functional ARCORE apps. For this course you will need an ARCore supported device running on Android version 7.0 or above along with a Mac or Window’s Laptop / Desktop

So what is Augmented Reality?

According to Wikipedia, Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are "augmented" by computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

In Augmented Reality the real view is modified by a computer (Smartphone in this case). Augmented reality enhances one’s current perception of reality, whereas in contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation techniques are basically performed in real time,

Eg : Displaying live scores and statistics inside a live video of a sporting event

Power of Augmented Reality & ARCORE

I came across Augmented Reality in 2015 after watching a video of Augmented Reality Book. I was fascinated to know that such technology actually exists. So I started researching on different Augmented Reality platform. Vuforia platform seemed very promising as developers all over the World have used Vuforia for developing Augmented Reality apps. But in recent time big tech giants like Apple & Google have also come up with their own Augmented Reality platform's and sdk's. Apple released the ARKIT AR sdk and Google released the ARCORE AR sdk

Pokemon Go game is the best example of Augmented Reality. Other than that Augmented Reality apps expand over a wide range of topics from Education, Business, Architecture, Health Industry, Home Decoration and obviously mobile gaming.
