    What is Augmented Reality

    You all know iron man. Now if you look closely from Tony Stark’s
    perspective, you’d see that he has this stack of floating information in
    his view. This digital information is augmented with the user's
    environment in real time. Unlike virtual reality, which creates a
    totally artificial environment, augmented reality uses the existing
    environment and overlays new information on top of it.
    You’ve also seen popular apps such as Pokémon go and played around with
    snap chat filters which are other forms of Augmented Reality.

    What is Vuforia?
    Now lets take a look at what Vuforia is. Vuforia is an Augmented Reality
    Software Development Kit (SDK) for mobile devices that enables the
    creation of Augmented Reality applications. It uses advanced Computer
    Vision technology to recognize and track planar images (Image Targets)
    and simple 3D objects, ground planes, in real-time.

    This image registration capability enables developers to position and
    orient virtual objects, such as 3D models and other media, in relation
    to real world images when these are viewed through the camera of a
    mobile device. The virtual object then tracks the position and
    orientation of the image in real-time so that the viewer’s perspective
    on the object corresponds with their perspective on the Image Target, so
    that it appears that the virtual object is a part of the real world
    scene.

    So in a nutshell Vuforia makes implementing Augmented Reality app easy
    for anyone to get started without having t o redevelop all the complex
    detection and tracking algorithms that are incorporated in the Vuforia
    SDK. I see a lot of potential in this SDK, and that is why I am teaching
    this cause as anyone can just get started with AR without complex
    coding.

Requirements

  • Enthusiasm for Augmented Reality
  • PC/ Laptop that meets Unity SDK minimum requirements
  • Unity 3D and Vuforia SDK (I show you how to install both for free)
  • A Webcam (Can use an Android Phone as a webcam)
  • Printer or Phone/Tablet to print out or display the AR marker
  • A Leap Motion Controller (Only Required for one of the Lectures)
  • Very Basic Unity Experience

The Fastest Way to Learn Vuforia 8 and Develop 16 Augmented Reality Apps using Unity SDK in under 5 hours!

Why should I take this course?

There are plenty of courses on Augmented Reality, with courses that run over 10 hours. When I got started in AR, I wanted to learn the Vuforia as quick as possible, because for obvious reasons, time is money. The company I was working for at the time, didn't have the luxury of time to spend on long training courses. So we had to learn learn Vuforia in our own time outside work hours, can you believe it!

After watching  tons of courses and reading through Vuforia documentation, I realized that this SDK is really quite simple and the key concepts to started with developing apps can really be learnt in just a few hours.

That is why I developed this course, to teach you all the  fundamentals of the Augmented Reality in the shortest time;  so that you can get started developing your own Augmented Reality Apps and decrease your time to market. Being compact does not mean that we compromise on content, we cover the exact same content as courses that run over 10 hours.

Who is my lecturer? And what makes you qualified to teach me?

My Name is Ritesh Kanjee and I host the popular YouTube Channel called Augmented Startups with over 62 000 subscribers. I am an AR/AI Developer with a Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering, teaching over 46 000 students on Udemy. With over 7 years of AR and Unity experience, you can trust that you are in the right hands.

Okay so your qualified! What will I learn in this course?

This course is designed to help you understand the fundamentals of Augmented Reality using the Vuforia SDK in Unity through practical and easy to understand labs. 

This class covers these capabilities, including getting started, simple and multiple target detection, smart terrain as well as leap motion integration. You will learn all the fundamentals through practice as you follow along with the training.

Together we will build a strong foundation in AR in Unity SDK with this training for beginners. This course will enable you to:

  • Get started in Unity and how to download the Vuforia SDK

  • Create a simple AR app with a floating cube

  • Once you have mastered the basics we go ahead and create multiple targets in Augmented Reality

  • Create virtual buttons to add interactivity to your AR apps.

  • Display Video on a physical wall.

  • Leverage the Leap Motion Controller to create a pinch drawing app in AR. (Really Cool!) 

  • Implement Vuforia's smart terrain algorithm to detection objects in Real Time!

  • Detect Cylindrical Target Objects and animate markers

  • Vuforia 7 and Unity 2017.3

  • [NEW] Vuforia 7 Ground Plane (Similar to Googles ARCore)


  • [NEW] Vuforia 8 and Unity 2020.1

  • [NEW] Vuforia 8 Video Playback

  • [NEW] Vuforia 8 VI-SLAM Fundamentals

  • [BONUS] Vuforia 8 Export to Android Device


  • [HUGE BONUS] Build your own AI Smart Glasses Project E.D.I.T.H. (Spiderman Far From Home)

What if I'm not happy with this course?

We also offer a full Udemy 30 Day Money Back Guarantee if you are not happy with this course, so you can learn with no risk to you.

Personal help within the course?

I want you to succeed. If you have any questions or need help, leave a question in the QnA section. You can also send me a message on Udemy. You will also receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
