this is the best course to learn , if you are interested in augmented reality , i gives you the basic knowledge of what augmented reality is and what resources you need to start your AR dev journey.

This is a great course especially for a newbie to know the overview of AR and ARCore. This also can help expand the knowledge on how to use AR in better ways which are not solely for entertainment.

easy to follow for those of us just started learning more about AR/VR. Also to note, Google had announced to deprecate Poly (*Dec 29th, 2020 announcement) by end of March 2021. I will suggest Coursera/Goolge to update the course content as soon as possible.

Thank you very much for teaching me the intro to AR and ARCore. Its great to know that google has AR tools like ARCore and also google poly is great library. I hope that the video lecture is longer. but overall its great. maybe some practice exams is needed

As the title says, it's a brief and high level introduction to AR and ARCore. Good contents and videos. I would have loved to have more practical exercises using ARCore or real examples, but I feel satisfied with what I learned and what is promised.

I found this course much more in-depth than the rather lightweight Daydream VR course. I had been vaguely aware of Unity before, but didn't know -though I should have guessed- that Google would be creating their own one-stop-shop for VR and AR.

it was a good course for someone who'd like to learn about google's ARcore apart fro ARkit or AR foundation. However, it would have been great if there were tutorial videos along with the concepts taught (either using unity or android studio).

Simple and informative. This will give you kick start to VR world and helps you to design THE "hello world in VR". Course is simple and easily be done with in the time lines. Will give you exposure to tools and utilities of VR applications.

There were some troubles with audio + I'm realy eager to go deeper into Android Studio & AR development, so maybe some of the details and information on it would be really helpful in the future. Is it going to have next parts and chapters?

I liked it, was a little too high-level. A few instructors referenced "We're going to show you X" and that was never shown. So perhaps there is another level to this course I need to get access too. Great way to learn the basic vocabulary.

The course has a good pace and without prerequisites it gives the basis for understanding how an AR app should work with ARCore. I would have liked to go deeper into detail of several topics, but as an introductory course this is fine.

I recommend a very good training in terms of content. practical applications and examples can be included. There have been updates on some content, especially on the arcore side. the content of education can be updated. thank you

good courses , teach the basic of AR system and limitations.

Just too much google product question like ARCore available on china? That sort of question didn't check the knowledge on AR system and just promote the google product.

Everything was going really well until the part about Sceneform...that didn't make any sense and the instructions on it were out of date.

Apart from that, learned a great deal about the terminology of Augmented Reality

Quite throughout introduction to AR technology. But to be honest, i suggest it is better to complete this course by audit because there is no coding assignments and i only spent one afternoon for it. That is all.

In my opinion, there are two points for improving this training. The first is that some concepts have been repeated a lot, and the second is the lack of initial introduction to the AR construction environment

Very basic explanation. Some lessons are rather obvious, like "you should hire a 3D artist if you cannot design a 3D object yourself".

Beginner level knowledge for those who have never heard of what AR is.

It is a very good course for beginners to get the basic and standard understanding of AR and ARCore. The course gets much deeper than just basic because of its good explanation on other supporting tools

Excellent introduction to Augmented Reality but not to ARCore. I was expecting to see at least how to create a basic hello world app in ARCore but nothing technical is provided. The course is too short.

Excelente curso para conocer los principios básicos de AR y mundo virtual.

En la fecha que tome el curso (2023) la plataforma de Poly ya no funcionaba por lo que dude de varios conceptos y herramientas.

Very interesting module. Some questions were not covered on the modules and one facilitator (the one who covered surface detect and creating planes) wasn't understandable and interesting as the others.

A good introduction to AR for novices. It gives the foundational information needed to develop further. The only shortfall is that some of the information is out of date relating to poly.google.com

Not having any know how of AR this was a great kickstart to get me more familiar with AR the limitations and challenges of this technology that is going to radically change future user experience

Quite Good for beginners; Other than that the course was simple it may be better if they included some simple tasks and project assignments. Other than that great and simplified way of learning.

I thought there would be more interaction involved, like developing simple AR applications, or workshopping provided code. It was practically all just, watch a video and answer some questions.

More Detailing related to working with Android Studio for building the App or Any Link related to GitHub for getting Started working with AR apps would have been better for learning purpose.

THIS ONE IS THE BEST COURSE FOR BEGINNERS IN AR. THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA ABOUT AR LIKE WHAT IS AR?, WHAT IT WILL DO?, WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES IN AR? AND HOW TO CREATE IT?

THANKS COURSERA
