Hey there everyone! Hope you all are in good health!
As we know that the world these days is very demanding and competitive and to get good jobs you need only one powerful tool. And that tool is, Education! As the great Nelson Mandela once said, ”Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the World”. And rightly so, education gives us knowledge and with the help of the same knowledge, man has been successful in developing many things which are helpful to mankind these days!
One such development these days is that of Vuforia AR Software Development Kit (SDK), which can be of great use to people as it helps us to create many augmented reality applications!
So, as there is a lot of free time during these days of lockdown, you can always try your hand in many different things and discover your interests, in this case, it is on Vuforia. You can do that by taking up many good quality online courses on Vuforia!

So, without wasting much time, let us first know what is Augmented Reality (AR) and what exactly is Vuforia used for. We will also take a look at how to build simple AR apps using Vuforia! And finally, we will take a look at some exciting projects and online tutorials offered by Skyfi Labs on Vuforia!
AR apps are basically those software applications which brings in the element of digital visual content, with or without audio, into our present environment. It is the addition of this completely new dimension of reality which made these Apps a great success and surely leading the way towards the future of the world!
These applications find its use in various sectors like industries, health care, gas and oil, tourism, marketing and public safety, largely used for training and for work and consumer applications. Off late, these applications are also used in gaming! You might be shocked to hear that the game ‘POKEMON GO’ is a result of one such application!

As discussed above, Vuforia is an AR software development kit, which enables us to create augmented reality Applications! It is an application of computer vision technology. It uses computer vision technology to detect and navigate planar images and 3D objects. This collaboration of Applications with computer vision technology gives the users a virtual reality kind of experience.
Like for example, in the case of ‘POKEMON GO’, the image registration capability helps the user to position and set the orientation of the objects(Like Pokemon in this case) and thus, when we open the App through our camera, we can view the object as if the pokemon is present in front of us.
Vuforia Engine is a platform for creating such AR Applications. It enables the developer to easily add advanced computer vision techniques to any applications, allowing it to track objects, images and interact with spaces in the real world!
Firstly, before building a simple AR app using Vuforia, you will also be needing one more important component, namely, the Unity game engine, developed by unity technologies, which is a cross-platform game engine, which can be used to create 3-D, 2-D, virtual and augmented reality effects as well as simulations which provides the user with a completely different and new element.
So, here are the steps you need to follow to develop an AR app:
Skyfi Labs helps students develop skills in a hands-on manner through Augmented Reality Online Courses where you learn by building real-world projects.
You can enrol with friends and receive kits at your doorstep.
