With the ever-growing hardware adoption (e.g.: AR headsets like Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest and HTC), the real world needs Augmented Reality developers. Hence, here are some of the areas you can specialize in as a Augmented Reality developer listed below:
Gain Vital Skills with Universal Relevance:
Application of AR technologies and its basic techniques for quality game production. Application of 3D modelling, CAD AR operation tools, and DSLR 2D images and videos, exposure to digital trends, and proficiency in creating AR contents with the available resources. Adherence to a high standard of ethical behavior. Use of research in both established venues and innovative applications to expand the body of knowledge in information assurance, allowing customers to interact with a virtual product that is in the testing phase.
Professional Network:
Let us help you form real connections that can change the course of your career. Meet practitioners and peers who can help you succeed through our global alumni network. Graduate with an industry-recognized certificate and meet practitioners and peers who can help you succeed through our global network.
