- Face Tracking and Body Tracking: Introduction to creating filters, including operating principles and 3D masks.
4. Advanced Tracking and UX/UI in AR
- 3D Object Tracking: Scanning and using physical objects as markers.
- Occlusion: Making virtual objects appear hidden behind real objects—a key element for realism.
- User Interface (UX/UI) in AR: Design challenges, 3D design, and principles for placing information on the display (HUD).
- Workshop 6: Interface and Instructions: Adding a UI to your project that indicates the need to scan a space.
- AR Cloud and Shared Experiences: Introduction to multi-person AR sessions.
- Performance Optimization: Tips for 3D models, textures, and scripts.
5. Publication, Ethics, and the Future of AR
- Testing AR Apps: Challenges in testing, such as varying lighting conditions, environments, and devices.
- Publishing Apps: The export and publication process for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
- Future trends in AR: WebAR, AR glasses technologies (e.g., HoloLens, Magic Leap), and the potential of Mixed Reality (MR).
- Ethics, Privacy, and Security in AR: Legal and ethical aspects related to scanning user spaces and handling data.
- Final Project: Presentation of participants' completed projects, discussing challenges and lessons learned.
