Overview

Augmented Reality (AR) is an innovative technology that superimposes computer-generated information, such as graphics, data, or interactive elements, onto the physical world. This is commonly viewed through devices like smartphones, tablets, or specialized AR glasses, enhancing the way we interact with our surroundings by blending digital content with the real environment.

In this course, you will explore the core components of AR technology, including the essential hardware, software, tracking systems, and display mechanisms that make AR experiences possible. You will also develop practical skills for navigating and utilizing various AR software tools.
