This course will teach you the basics of developing mobile applications using Mixed and Augmented Reality (MAR) technologies.

Through hands-on projects, you鈥檒l learn practical techniques to rapidly and easily prototype three different applications for Android smartphones and tablets 鈥� even with no previous coding experience. If you鈥檙e a creative entrepreneur, this is your ideal introduction to today鈥檚 trends in the products and technologies of the emerging augmented reality market. If you鈥檙e a journalist, media/content producer or teacher, you鈥檒l discover how to augment print-based media with sounds, images and videos, and see how to create an augmented city map and geo-located augmented reality game for your audience. If you鈥檙e a web designer or app developer, you鈥檒l gain a range of technological building blocks that you can integrate into your service portfolio. Whatever your background, you鈥檒l learn how to design cutting-edge visual experiences that will enhance your job prospects. What you鈥檒l learn 鈥� All about the main MAR products and technologies on the market today 鈥� How to build three different augmented reality applications using an augmented reality browser and authoring tools 鈥� How to include image recognition and object tracking 鈥� How to use geolocation functionality for outdoor augmented reality 鈥� Details of the ISO-ARAF standard, an innovative language for representing augmented reality content Prerequisites 鈥� You don鈥檛 need any prior technical knowledge to take this course. 鈥� If you鈥檙e familiar with markup languages (HTML, XML, etc) and content management systems, you may be more at ease with the key concepts and techniques.

In this module you will create an AR application for printed media: an Augmented Book. For this, in the first part of the module, we shall use an authoring tool and an AR browser. In the second part, we will have a closer look at the code produced by the authoring tool. If you want to go deeper and learn how to 鈥減rogram鈥� it and change the behavior of the application, you can access the Honors material. If you have difficulties with the assignments, you should post on the Discussions section to ask for help. To get started, please jump into the first lesson below!

Frequently asked questions

In order to visualize the augmented reality content that you are going to create in this course, you will need to install an ARAF browser on your Android smartphone or tablet. If you don't have any Android device at your disposal, you will still have the opportunity to complete this course by submitting your assignment but you won't get the full learning experience. In fact, you won't be able to test in your own -physical- environment the application you have created.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
