Developing augmented reality (AR) products NC201
Augmented reality allows information to be presented in an engaging and interactive way. During this two day residential you’ll learn how to plan, develop, test and evaluate an AR product.
Summary
Augmented reality (AR) is changing the way we present information. With its highly engaging and interactive user experience, we are now able to present 2D and 3D models within a user’s local surroundings.
Augmented reality has recently been introduced as a mandatory unit of work to the Level 2 OCR Cambridge National in IT qualification. During this two-day residential, you’ll learn how to plan, develop, test, and evaluate an AR product. Together with your Professional Development Leader, you’ll delve deep into learning how to use AR development software, building your confidence ahead of delivering this in the classroom. Throughout this course you'll explore the tools and techniques using software package Adobe Aero.
Augmented reality is already being used across many areas of society, including retail, hospitality, and education. Supported by the latest evidence of AR, you’ll explore how AR is being used within society, understand the ethical and legal considerations, and have the opportunity to hear from a STEM Ambassador working in the AR industry.
