We\u2019ll focus on the design\/UX of AR experiences as well as the technical foundations necessary to actually code these experiences. We\u2019ll supplement design\/coding exercises with an overview of the history of AR and discuss a broad range of use cases. Our tool of choice will be WebXR, but we will go over prototyping techniques outside of these platforms to speed up the design process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is augmented reality technology about to enter the mainstream?
