Augmented reality is a trend that’s now becoming more tangible—along with the hardware that allows people to experience it. These shifts mean it’s increasingly important in L&D not only to understand how AR can work, but also to explore how to move forward and actually create content for this new medium. But for many departments facing limited budgets, it’s a challenge to create meaningful learning and performance support experiences in AR without having to spend a fortune on software, hardware, or developers.

Thankfully, creating effective AR experiences doesn’t have to be rocket science or break the bank. In this hands-on session, you’ll find out how you can begin creating custom AR content right now. In less than one hour, you’ll learn how to leverage budget-friendly tools like the Unity game engine and the Vuforia AR platform to develop your own simple augmented reality application.
