Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Introduction to augmented reality (AR)
In this module, you'll be introduced to the basics of augmented reality and some surrounding context-- how and why it was developed, and how it compares to and differs from its technological cousin, virtual reality. You will also learn more about the current industry landscape, the hardware needed to view AR content, and how people are using AR today.
The basics of AR functionality
In this module we’ll dive into the hardware components inside mobile devices that power augmented reality, and you'll discover ways in which AR assets can feel real and keep users immersed. You'll learn about ARCore features that help make a digital object behave as though it exists in a real world space, as well as a few constraints facing AR today.
Taking the next steps with ARCore
In this section you’ll dive into a few specific examples of how AR applications are being used in the real world. You’ll learn about the strengths and current constraints of the ARCore platform, user considerations, and basic AR interaction options. You’ll also gain more knowledge about the tools and team you’ll need to build an AR app.
Bringing ARCore to life
In this last module we’ll dive deeper into some important elements of augmented reality and bring them to life with existing ARCore apps. You’ll also learn more about how to create 3D assets for AR with tools like Google Poly and Unity, as well as discover further resources to continue your augmented reality learning journey.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO AUGMENTED REALITY AND ARCORE
Great course with good pacing. Learned valuable info that I'll end up using. Some parts of the course were outdated including tools that are disabled and/or no longer supported.
The content is still relevant, but there are few things like Poly google which doesn't exist anymore. The course does feel that needs some minor updates. Overall is a good course.
As a newcomer, this course is nice as it tries to cover all the basic information, history, and the working of AR. Google has certainly done a good amount of content coverage in this course.
This is good course for understanding basics and complete introduction to Augumented reality. Classes were easy and understanding.
Hope I will get the financial approved.
