About this project
In this class, you can learn to develop and apply augmented reality easily, without having to learn code.
There are several platforms to create AR, and each one of these is good in one specific area. There are applications that are good in facial recognition, in 3D animations for objects, others in Android platform, IOS etc. This is why it is necessary to investigate the capabilities of several platforms that offer the different augmented reality application options.
In this classes we are going to design an art project with different AR tools and then you are going to present your project. This is an example to show the possibilities of these tools, and to present which of them to choose according to the requirements of each augmented reality project.
Learn how you can use a AR app

Present your project in the EugeneTraning VR Island
This island seeks to gather in one space, people who want to learn, exhibit and also receive feedback on their work. To learn they will have options to watch videos or participate in online classes.
In this page, you can learn how you can install a VR viewer to visit the island.
