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.

This course does not take four weeks. It probably only takes more like 4 hours. This is just very basic concept about Augmented Reality, and there are no hands-on projects. You don't get to build an app or anything like that. I just audited the course and I am glad I didn't pay for this class. I almost gave 1 star, but maybe my expectation was too high for this class.

this is just a course to get theoretical knowledge and nothing to learn skill wise, its just tell you some terminologies and names of some useful software but at the end of this course don't expect to learn even basics of those software just names and what they do, So it was not that useful plus the course was really easy and didn't pose a challenge

This course introduce very basic terminology of AR, without deep dive in each topic. I suggest to add more details and examples in each topic, and even include some code samples.

Video sometimes not relevant to the discussed items, and same video examples repeated over and over again.

Too much focus and promotion of Google services in the course quiz.

This course really is just an introduction. I was expecting some tutorials for creating AR apps, but I'm no closer to knowing where to start than I was yesterday. Which brings me to my other point: there's only about an hour or so of material here. At least I didn't waste too much time. Maybe in the future there will be more added to this course?

Good intro to theories, but almost zero implementation. Great that it is in bite size chunks with quizzes to help retention of information. However, the Information is rather repetitive, transcript did not get QA'ed. Can be a lot shorter than the current length.

This was a good intro, not as in-depth as I'd hoped for. It did introduce valuable knowledge of terminology and basic concepts. The main con to this is that I don't feel like I got what I paid for out of the experience.

Although the course provides good introductory knowledge to the terminology and basic practices used in AR app development, the course never moves beyond a superficial discussion of AR and AR apps.

Good introduction for the most basic concepts. However not really useful on how to start implementing an application. It would be more useful to add a simple application development example.

Google poly is not longer available. Plus there is no much information about how you can build AR with ARcore. I felt like it is just a promoting of Google content.

As of today, Poly is already closed and the course should reflect that. Or may be the course would be relevant with latest updates

The explaination was good though

really basic entry view into AR and VR. No projects. Should of just Watched an informative documentary on the subject then paid for this class.

There is some value here in learning terminology and design principles, but the material is very brief, and much of it is out of date.

Good Introduction but the key tool Google Poly that is discussed in the coarse has been sunset. I think the course is outdated.

It's a good overview of terminology. Did not get into practice at all. Poly is no longer supported which is a big bummer.

Not much information in here. Many videos about a topic are less than a minute long. Lots of Google promotion speak.

This is really just a basic introduction to the AR concepts, if you really know nothing about it.

the concepts are defined well, but I was looking forward to start learning to code using ARcore

The last module is really outdated. Poly was shut down on June 30th 2021, almost 4 years ago.

Course needs updating as Poly doesn't exist, and no recommended alternative suggested.

Poly is not working anymore and the course is talking about it. I felt frustrated ...

This course contains only a small amount of information and is clearly outdated.

Zero hands-on experience. Not even scratch the surface.

Is knowledge without any practical application useless?
