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.

Pretty good for beginners who want to know more about Augmented Reality. The course is a bit too short for my liking but considering that AR is still pretty new in its technological advancements, I can see why that would be the case. More research needs to be done to improve this profound technology in order to optimize its capabilities.

It would've been better if it included some Sceneform workflow, however, it is no longer in development, and the course includes an example of Sceneform version 1.15, which is having problems with Android studio versions 3.6+ And SFA and SFB workflow is deprecated. So, the only practical section given in week 4 is rendered useless.

An easy intro to Augmented reality. Give you a quick rundown about the basics and gives you a good understanding about the fundamentals of AR and ARCore. I only wish we created an AR experiences of some kind just to have a final product to show off. *Note: I was able to finish the entire course in less then 2 hours

Como su título indica, es un curso introductorio a los conceptos básico sobre los que se fundamenta la realidad aumentada y te presenta lo que puedes llegar a hacer con ARCore de Google. Aunque hace poco acaban de lanzar la app "ARCore Elements" con la que puedes experimentar en AR todo lo que te puede aportar ARCore

This couse mainly introduces those techinical terms of AR technology and ARCore, it does not cover hands-on teaching of how to make AR. Overall I think it is a good course, it both expands and deepens my understanding to AR.
However, I hope the teaching material can be presented more than just in video format.

Very insightful, the information that was provided gave details that was easy to understand, however, through continuous repetitions it will become more easier in terms of creating files, the interface of ARcore , placing 3D objects in files to create AR. I look forward to using the software in the future !

It was a great way to explore the possibilities and future of AR tech, but its limitation to only google assets and tech limits its possibilities of expansion. All the refences to use google poly as free resource is outdated as google poly has shut down, hence it limits a students experience.

I liked the short chunks the training was divided into. This helped a lot to follow my own pace. What bothered me a lot was that in chapter 4 there was a reference to poly.google.com, which has been shut down mid of 2021. So I cannot use it and haven't learned about an alternate solution.

Nice overview for beginners. I wish I've taken this course before diving into more technical ones. If you already tried writing an AR app this course would be too basic. But it still links great resources: I haven't known about Poly before and I watched several I/O talks linked here.

A good kickstart course for beginners in AR field. Even a user with some preliminary experience with AR can get nice insights. Some speakers speak like they are reading something which irritates the listener sometimes. Moreover, the content of this course needs to be upgraded.

I thought this course would include practice, not only concepts. But still, I learned that AR is more than displaying a simple object; it's a deeper concept that includes the knowledge of the surroundings and how to optimize it in a level to make it almost real. Thank you!

The course taught me about the fundamental definitions of terms, and the glossary uses in AR. For reviewing the course, I suggest that the students, instead of watching the videos again, could only study the "Learning checkpoint" of the reading sections of each chapter.

The basics were explained well in this course. It's really helpful for the novices (Rather, even for people who don't have the slightest clue about AR).
The only complaint being that the syllabus could have been greater. That would provide one with a stronger base.

Course was informational, but the videos and readings are way to short to actually apply any real AR skills learned into real life, I hope the course can be improved with longer videos and maybe code examples if they are short enough for a person to understand.

It's a helpful first peek at the topic but it's outdated. I went looking for some of the resources and they have been retired. Still, useful. I do not think my time was wasted. I've been able to use what I learned here already, tinkering in other AR programs.

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.

Most of the material sounded relevant and was a good introduction to AR. Sections on Google Poly should be removed since it is no longer available. This leads me to believe that other sections of the course might be dated as well.
