Course Information

Introduction

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technique of combining digital information with the user’s environment in real-time. It uses the existing environment and superimposes new information on top of it. AR adds graphics, sound, and touch feedback to the natural world for creating better user experience. Augmented reality provides a new and enhanced natural world where virtual information acts as a tool to assist with routine activities.

This course will equip you with a thorough understanding of AR and its applications. Delegates will learn about the relationship between Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
