Handheld AR App Development with Unity

Description

Augmented Reality, or AR, will transform how we see and interact with the world. And the hardware that makes AR possible is the smartphone that you may already have in your pocket. In this course, you’ll learn how to develop your own mobile AR applications in Unity for iOS and Android devices. You’ll learn about the features offered by Unity’s AR Foundation, and about additional features in ARKit and ARCore.

Using the very latest techniques recommended by Unity engineers, you’ll build a complete AR environment that you can continue to use after the course, while learning to apply best practices in user experience and interaction.

This is the last of three courses in Unity’s XR Specialization, which includes an Introduction to XR course as well as a course focused on developing VR applications with Unity.

Note that, to complete this course, you will need a smartphone capable of running ARKit or ARCore. Compatible devices are listed in the links below:

The course also assumes that you already have experience developing applications with Unity and that you are comfortable with basic C# programming. It will also be helpful if you are familiar with building other types of apps to run on mobile devices.
