This is a great course especially for a newbie to know the overview of AR and ARCore. This also can help expand the knowledge on how to use AR in better ways which are not solely for entertainment.

Interesting, but extremely superficial. Some of the course presenters do not have very good speaking skills. Several of the resources mentioned in the course have been discontinued and are no longer accessible. Since AR is a quickly-evolving technology, much of the content in this course are outdated.

Week 1 and Week 2 were well conceived and executed. Weeks 3 and 4 feel rushed and you don't get the depth of information expected. It is disappointing that a key tool referenced in the course will cease to be available in March 21.

This course does not show you how to build one AR project. The videos were extremely short.

It started interesting but then just stopped. Module 4 simply repeated what was already explained before. The resources are not updated. The entire course felt like a marketing push for a google phone. I really expected to learn more and I was excited and eager to start but it was too basic and could have been wrapped up in 1 or 2 moduls and a glossary. Sorry, I just expected more.

Old information (poly doesn't exist anymore), extremely short, videos of 50 seconds, and it's extremely biased and propagandistic.

The concepts are good but it doesn't have any content on how to really build a VR app.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible learning experience that I had in this course. Over the past number of weeks, I have gained a deep understanding of the ARCore, and I have enjoyed every moment of it.

Your course content was well-organized, engaging, and incredibly informative. I particularly appreciated the way that you broke down complex concepts into smaller, more manageable parts, making it easier for me to understand and retain the information. Additionally, the use of real examples and case studies helped me to see the practical applications of augmented reality.

Overall, I believe that the course was an incredible learning experience, and I feel confident that I have gained valuable skills and knowledge that I can apply in my personal and professional life. Thank you again for your hard work, dedication, and expertise.

I think the course is a good introductory piece into the building blocks of AR - I already recommended it on a Reddit sub. I've been reading for a few years about Magic Leap and also had the chance to try the Microsoft Hololens. I really really hope that in 10 years time there will be no more mobile phones, fewer TVs and maybe just a bluetooth keyboard and mouse paired to your HMD of choice instead of a laptop.This technology truly has the chance to revolutionize multiple fields out of which Education excited me the most. So here's hope to the arrival of the intermediate level course and to all creators who will make the world a better place.

This was the second online course that I have completed (first one was Google Digital Marketing) and I am extremely satisfied! I loved short videos with a lot of real examples (compared to traditional long videos where there is one person talking and talking...) Good audio and video quality, resources and course structure. The only thing that I would suggest to improve is to add a hand-on project, maybe something like a "Hello World" for an AR app. I also would like to have a more advanced course to continue learning AR development.

A very introductory course but perfect to dip ones toes into the world of XR and start understanding the underlying important areas of the field. Did the course over a weekend and was able to continue my studies with C# straight away to prepare for next round of Coursera courses in the field ( all from Unity ). I would recommend this course to anyone that has dreamt of getting into the field since basics are A and O in building a strong foundation for any type of skill.

I am an academician though I do not know about software coding or AR. This course helped me a lot in understanding about the same. Fantastic learning made possible due to coursera.

All the faculties explained the concepts and application in a clear manner and some extempore lectures were inspiring.

Thank you dear pedagogues and developers.

Keep up your good work Coursera!.

This course was a great introduction into augmented reality and ARCore. I knew nothing about these technologies aside from how to use them in apps like snapchat, and on VR headsets like the Oculus. Though the most difficult part of the course is learning the steps of Sceneform (which was a bit too advanced for me) I feel like I have a good base to move forward on.

From the title the course does what is promises. It gives an introduction into the field.

I expected it will show a few hands on examples in unity e.g. and not only discussions and reading material.

But since the course did what it promised and that in a good and structured approach i good not drop a star. First i wanted to give 4 ...but this would not be fair.

Great Course. I wanted an introduction on how AR works and got to the point relevant understanding and used apps in AR on my mobile which has helped me tremendously. The course will help me to apply AR related cases in business and gaming. The course was not too long and all relevant details were provided with good links and reading materials. Thumbs up
