Augmented reality (AR) development is one of the essential skills required to thrive in the digital economy of the future. Learn AR development with AR foundation and Unity in this course, and learn techniques essential to building commercial-scale AR applications. The course briefly discusses the metaverse and Web3 ecosystem and how immersive technologies, including AR, contribute to it. After learning about the initial setup, you will know how to build your first AR application from scratch using Unity and AR foundation. With the help of a step-by-step guide provided, you will be able to build a markerless AR experience that will help you detect the floor and place objects on it. After taking this course, you will develop proficiency in developing mark-based and markerless AR applications using Unity. This course will also enable you to build a face filter app like Instagram, and you will eventually finish with a marker-based AR application lesson.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
