Intro to Augmented Reality

In this beginner-friendly AR workshop, you will learn how to use Unity 3D to build a game design similar to mega popular mobile game — Pokemon Go.

We are going to be using the software development kit (SDK): AR Foundation with Unity game engine.

After this workshop, you will be able to virtually capture little creatures that appear in your room.

This workshop is a perfect introduction to the world of augmented reality development.
