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.

Good introduction of AR, but it is too simplistic, poor in content, and too few exercises. I think this course has to be free on the google academy platform. The money paid for it does not offer any considerable knowledge in this industry.

Course provides just basic informations about the AR. The videos could be made into longer instead of cutting it into 1-minute scenes. If you are compleatly new to AR i recomend it, otherwise search for something more contentfull.

This is a good introduction to ARCore but I was expecting a hands-on component of the course. It was more like a video series. This course would be much better if there were simple exercise files we could download and manipulate.

It is very good in therms of content, but could be more practical, with a hands-on project submitted for peer review.

Do not expect it to dig deep into the subject, for it is only an introduction to AR/AR Core.

Too much Google ads and there is no practice at all.

Changing the speaker also doesn't help. You just got used to pronunciation and accent of one speaker and they changed to another one in the next video.

The course is very basic. It covers all of the introductory blocks and resources. However the course is not helpful for developer as no code is introduced. Some basic development would have enhanced it.

Está bien pensado y como introducción a la realidad aumentada está bien, pero está desactualizado. POLY fue desconectado el 30 de junio de 2021... hace más de un año, sería bueno actualizar contenidos.

Good information but I had hoped for something a bit more practical or hands on. The Google Poly resource referred to in the course no longer exists so an update of course content would be good.

A very high level overview of ARCore with a lot out of outdated material. Several resources mentioned in the class have been deprecated and/or are no longer available (i.e., Poly and Sceneform).

Pretty basic course. Does touch base on a few important topics. Keeps recommending Google Poly for assets while the project has been shut down by Google. Definitely needs an upgrade.

The course gives you a glance of what AR really is, it would clear up all your doubts regarding the same. But the practical knowledge that i was craving was somewhat missing here.

I was expecting there to be a hands-on component, which there wasn't. Also, some of the content was repetitive and out of date, for example, Google Poly has been shut down.

Alot of information to take in.

I think this is also not suitable for complete beginners like me I found the course especially the sceneform part really hard to understand.

The introduction of AR was awsome. However, the section of ARcore needs more details to understand for beginner folks, and more practical examples are required, indeed.

This course is good for those who are looking forward to knowing the basics of Arcore but does not include any practical or building a basic Arcore application

Basic overview of what Augmented Reality is & what are its component. Take this course only if you don't know anything about AR & you're an absolute beginner

It is good to try to make aware people about AR. Now they have an idea about it that how its work and what are its benefits and in which field we can use it.

Está desatualizado e não não se aprofunda mais nas opções de ferramentas para desenvolvimento. No entanto, alguns fundamentos creio que ainda fazem sentido.

Should have had programming tutorials in the form of video to show how to setup the environment and get up and running with building ARCore apps in Android.

By Banshi G

This could be even better by showing how the things work in ARCore, like how anchors are internally processed by ARCore or how ARCore estimates the light.

The course seems more lively with its realistic examples.

But it would be better if you include a demo video that shows how to develop a basic AR app

Good interaction course for totally newbies in AR, but if you have some minimal knowledge in the field we you need an advanced course than that.

The course was very good but I paid for a certificate and never received one. So I wasted my money and have no certificate of completion.

The course is good, but on the free version all you do is watch videos and read articles. There isn't much for learners to actually do.

Pretty interesting and well-presented. But beware, this course is super basic and easy. I would have liked some more in-depth material.
