Summary

Augmented reality (AR) is changing the way we present information. With its highly engaging and interactive user experience, we are now able to present 2D and 3D models within a user’s local surroundings. AR  has recently been introduced as a mandatory unit of work to the Level 2 OCR Cambridge National in IT qualification. During this course, you’ll learn how to plan, develop, test, and evaluate an AR product. 

Together with your Professional Development Leader, you’ll delve deep into learning how to use AR development software, building your confidence ahead of delivering this in the classroom. Throughout this course you'll explore the tools and techniques using software package Adobe Aero.  Supported by the latest evidence of AR, you’ll also explore how AR is being used within society whilst considering the ethical and legal considerations.
