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.

The content is still relevant, but there are few things like Poly google which doesn't exist anymore. The course does feel that needs some minor updates. Overall is a good course.
