Augmented Reality Course

Augmented Reality is being used in many fields now, including Games, Automobile industry, healthcare, architecture, marketing, media etc. In the Augmented Reality Course by MAGES Institute, learner’s will understand the foundational knowledge of AR and VR and identify its benefits for real-world applications. By the end of the AR Class, the learner would have developed a working prototype of an Immersive AR application based on a concept. Some concepts from the contributing field of interaction design will be also introduced in the context of augmented reality. Not only will students be able to identify the specifications and configurations of hardware and platforms required to develop an immersive application, but also combine the principles of design with the principles of interaction to create appropriate interaction experiences. At the end of this program, each learner will be awarded a certificate of completion.
