Course Description
Overview
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are already playing major roles in the metaverse today, and are only going to expand as creators, innovators and businesses find ways to apply the technology to benefit society. The concept of AR has been around for decades, but it's only recently becoming a mainstream technology with tangible uses, from entertainment to marketing. The incredible rise in popularity of face filters is only one metric of mainstream adoption! Spark AR Studio has been a key driver in placing powerful AR development tools in the hands of creators in the social media generation making face tracking AR filters for both Android and iOS.
As a developer or a creative interested in custom AR, now is the time to level up and make your own AR effects. This program, Spark AR Pro, builds on from Meta’s foundational prgoram Spark AR for Beginners. Graduates of the foundational program will find the more advanced content tailor-made to prepare you for entering the ever-growing community of professionals working in the exciting space where the physical and virtual worlds collide—AR.
For those Spark AR users who have previously explored Spark AR Studio and are seeking to upskill for the sake of entering a career in AR, this course could be the next step towards becoming certified. This two-course program will help to prepare you to undertake the Spark AR Certification exam. As a Meta Certified professional you must be able to demonstrate the ability to translate your ideas — or those of your client — into an interactive effect or experience, up to the standards required by the Spark AR platform. This course contains content, custom activities and guidance through the extensive training material including advanced techniques, design considerations and ongoing management of the experiences you will produce.
