- Persistent Anchors: Saving and Loading AR Sessions.
3. Image-Based AR and Animation
- Image Tracking: Principles and creating reference image libraries.
- Workshop 4: Image-Based AR: Detecting a poster/graphic and overlaying a 3D model or video on it.
- Animation and Visual Effects: Incorporating animation into 3D models. Utilizing particle systems in AR.
- Workshop 5: Design Enhancement. Adding animations and simple visual effects.
- Face Tracking and Body Tracking: Introduction to creating filters – operational 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 – crucial for realism.
- User Interface (UX/UI) in AR: Design challenges, 3D design, and principles of information placement on the display (HUD).
- Workshop 6: Interface and Instructions: Adding a UI to your project to indicate the need to scan a space.
- AR Cloud and Shared Experiences: Introduction to multi-user AR sessions.

5. Publication, Ethics, and the Future of AR
- Testing AR Apps: Challenges in testing (varying lighting conditions, environments, devices).
- Publishing Apps: Export and publication processes 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 data handling.
- Final Project: Presentation of participants' completed projects, discussing challenges and lessons learned.
