About the event

You will learn how to create your own Snapchat/Instagram-like AR face filter.

AR Foundation is a set of tools from Unity that allows you to build Augmented Reality apps in a multi-platform way. That means by building with AR Foundation you can easily deploy your AR app to an android phone with ARCore or to an iPhone with ARKit.
