Building Augmented Reality Apps With Google's ARCore.

With the increasing applications of Augmented Reality (AR) in Education,Commerce,Entertainment,Tourism and Navigation (as seen in Google Maps)... I think the future of augmented reality is very promising and Mobile Developers would be at the front-line of building apps to help users leverage this magical technology.

Google is giving Mobile Developers the ability to easily create and integrate AR into their apps with ARCore but most mobile devs don't even know about it or how to get started.

ARCore is Google’s platform for building augmented reality experiences. It enables your phone to sense its environment, understand the world and interact with information.

And in this session, I'd be introducing developers to ARCore and Guide them on how to get started with Using ARCore to build awesome AR experiences into their Mobile apps.

ARCore is very vast and some of the APIs are available across Android and iOS, but i'd be focusing on it's integration with Android using either Kotlin/Java☺

2. BUILDING AUGMENTED REALITY APPS WITH GOOGLE’S Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder
3. WHAT IS ? Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder ARCore is Google’s Augmented Reality Platform for building augmented reality features into mobile apps.
4. FEATURES OF Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder  Augmented Images  Augmented Faces  Cloud Anchors
5.  AUGMENTED IMAGES Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder ARCore can respond to 2D images in the user's environment, such as posters or product packaging and you can create anchors from them.
6.  AUGMENTED IMAGES Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder
7.  AUGMENTED FACES Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder ARCore can detect Faces and Automatically Identify Regions of the Face like eyes,nose and mouth using the device camera.
8.  AUGMENTED FACES Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder
9.  CLOUD ANCHORS Ismail Nurudeen @TeenMutantCoder Track same anchor cross multiple devices and platform simultaneously in the same environment. Providing a shared AR experience.
