Developing augmented reality (AR) products NC201 / A22
Summary
Augmented reality (AR) is changing the way we’re able to present information, using its highly engaging and interactive user experience, we’re now able to present 2D and 3D models within a user’s local surroundings.
Augmented reality has recently been introduced to Level 2 IT qualifications, during this two day residential you’ll learn how to plan, develop, test and evaluate an AR product. With your Professional Development Leader, you’ll go deep into learning how to use a piece of AR development software, building your confidence ahead of delivering this in the classroom.
