No. This course goes over all the concepts and technologies. Even if you already have experience with AR/VR, the course provides a foundation for other courses in this specialization. In particular, the second half of the course is focused on the future of XR, analyzing trends, discussing issues, and suggesting strategies in the XR space.

Question 5

Do I need to have programming experience?

Accepted Answer

No. This course is targeted at a broad audience. There are no programming exercises associated with it. Depending on your background and interest, you may choose to approach exercises from a more technical perspective. But even if you've never experienced AR/VR before, this course will help you build the technical knowledge to make decisions about XR projects and initiatives.

Question 6

Do I need access to AR/VR devices?

Accepted Answer

No. To complete the main track of the course, it is recommended but not required. However, to complete the honors track, you will need access to AR/VR devices. To give AR a try, you need to have access to a smartphone. For VR, we do not recommend a particular device and suggest that at a minimum you use a Google Cardboard compatible display wrapper that turns your phone into VR goggles.
