This class will teach you the fundamentals of augmented reality (AR), and how to build an AR experience using ARCore. Through the four week course, you'll learn:
- How to identify different types of AR experiences - Tools and platforms used in the AR landscape - What makes AR feel "real" - Popular use cases for AR - How to create an AR use flow - How AR experiences work - Tools like Google Poly and Unity to build AR experiences - Next steps to start building an AR experience using ARCore and other tools This course will break down complex AR concepts to make them easy to understand, while also sharing expert tips and knowledge from Daydream's ARCore team. The course is great for beginners who are just getting started with AR or ARCore.

More Detailing related to working with Android Studio for building the App or Any Link related to GitHub for getting Started working with AR apps would have been better for learning purpose.

This is a wonderful course(journey) to embark on. I was able to understand AR and ARcore. I love the way everything was simplified. Kudos to the team that put this together. thank you

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.

Best learning experience. I learned a lot about the VR basics, tools/applications, and required skill sets to make myself market-ready.  Thank you so much. Please keep up the good work.
KP
Thanks to this course I learnt most of the basic elements of AR and of course about it's development curve. I would recommend everyone, who is interested in AR, but doesn't know where to start.

one of the best course i have done on the coursera the videos are really quick nice and short so the i didnt get bored not a single time . i just love the content and the teaching of mentors.
SG
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.
TB
I learned some things about AR that I didn't know, and most importantly, I got a really good idea of what it takes to make an AR app, and what programs I will need to accomplish this.
MH
This is a great course especially for a newbie to know the overview of AR and ARCore. This also can help expand the knowledge on how to use AR in better ways which are not solely for entertainment.
CS
Good Course for beginners. It came in handy for the information i needed to know, and was to the point. The resources and the glossary for keywords was very helpful at the end and appreciated.
LM
Definitely a good overview if you come at this knowing nothing. I feel like I better understand AR. But I do wish that there was walk-through where you get to create a Google Poly scene.
AD
I thought there would be more interaction involved, like developing simple AR applications, or workshopping provided code. It was practically all just, watch a video and answer some questions.

No projects, assignments, or anything to show experience wise after completing this course. Also the course spends a good bit of time on Google Poly which no longer exists. It would be helpful if there were projects and assignments revolving around Unity or other things relating to AR/VR like ARCore/developing. Feels like the only things taught are the terms relating to AR/VR and a bit of history. Also the videos and transcripts were buggy. Videos have transcripts that are longer than the videos themselves.
You shouldn't be able to complete a 4-week course in four days, let alone 4 hours! Each "week's" lesson pretty much repeated what was already covered the "week" prior. I can't recommend what should be in the content but I can say that what I learned in this course can be summarized in a 1-page pdf!
This course is a good start for complete beginners and gives an overall understanding of what AR is and what makes it possible. The course will give you a basic information of what hardware and software make AR possible for smartphones and headsets; you will know how computers can understand environment via computer vision, image processing, motiong tracking and limitation of such understanding. You will know what UI/UX is and how to plan workflow for app development.
Since the time when this course was established, Google has solved one of AR costraints — now AR object can be occluded by real world objects.
What you will not get in this course: any skills of coding or making 3D. For that you will need other specialised courses.
I was quite dissapointed. From a 4 week course I expected some introduction in how to use ARCore and create some basic apps. Instead, you will finish the course in less than 4h and get a very high level introduction into the basics of AR only. Often the content is repeated, and week 4 is rather an advertisment than anything new.
Extremely basic. All videos are around 1min length, and simply define and show a concept in a few words. Not even a partial or full simple project. A waste of time and money.
looking for more hands on projects
It is a very good course for understanding the basics and fundamentals of AR and ARCore. It gives the learner a good knowledge about all Hardware and software, related to AR and its development.
this is the best course to learn , if you are interested in augmented reality , i gives you the basic knowledge of what augmented reality is and what resources you need to start your AR dev journey.
Thanks to this course I learnt most of the basic elements of AR and of course about it's development curve. I would recommend everyone, who is interested in AR, but doesn't know where to start.
Extremely informative without being overwhelming.
Not useful for learning purpose
Really very good course to understand the fundamental knowledge of the AR, helps in gaining the basics concepts, knowledge and motivates towards building killer Apps.
It is really interesting. Clearly explained. Very useful for APP developers. Creativity is the core and if you are creative person then you can enjoy this.
It was great to know about AR Core. Seems basics for the beginners like me but most important concepts where there which I loved !! :-)
i think this is best course to understand the basics of AR.
course content is much enough to understand the What is AR at intro. level
Excellent material, very well selected information, no saturation, clear and accurate information for a good indroduction.
The good course for basic understanding what is AR technology and how it works in generally. Thank you!
Thank you for the experience for learning this course, it was such an outstanding course, love it :)))
Very good content. Learning checkpoints were very useful. Looking forward to more AR courses.
Great course. I am waiting for another course which teaches the development of AR apps
