AR Application Development and 3D Modeling Fundamentals

Augmented reality and spatial computing are transforming how people interact with digital content in the real world. This foundational course equips you with the essential concepts and practical skills needed to model 3D assets and construct interactive augmented reality experiences. Through step-by-step written guides and conceptual code examples, you will explore the full pipeline of spatial application development—from initial asset geometry to runtime object tracking. What you'll learn: - Understand core VR and AR terminology, coordinate systems, and spatial tracking mechanisms - Learn fundamental 3D modeling principles, low-poly geometry creation, and texture mapping for real-time engines - Explore modern 3D asset delivery standards including glTF and USDZ formats - Configure surface detection, image target tracking, and object placement logic - Implement user interaction patterns tailored for immersive mobile AR experiences - Apply optimization techniques to ensure low latency and high frame rates on portable devices Starting with key definitions, asset formats, and mathematical basics of 3D space, the content builds progressively toward programming user interactions and real-time environment recognition. This course is created specifically for beginners with no prior background in spatial computing or 3D graphics. Begin your journey into modern immersive development today.
