CS 810.G - AR for Industrial Design Visualization
Course Description
"Augmented Reality" (AR) is a powerful 3D visualization tool, with the ability to place virtual, 3D objects in the real world. Learn to use Unity’s real-time 3D rendering engine to build mobile AR applications for industrial design prototyping and visualization, bringing 3D designs and models into real-world contexts. You also will learn how to build mobile AR applications using industry-standard target techniques: image and planar retection. These applications will include:
- interactive and responsive and interactive user interfaces
- real-world interaction
- realistic 3D audio, 2D and 3D virtual objects
- custom animations
You will build these applications for iOS and Android mobile devices, implement UX best practices for AR, and strategize/ideate around creative, immersive projects. By the end of this course, you will understand how Unity fits into the AR application development cycle, and how to use its native features to maximize your applications' potential and quality.
