Question 1

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

Accepted Answer

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

Question 2

Question 3

Is financial aid available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can't afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you'll find a link to apply on the description page.

Question 4

Do I need to know a lot about AR/VR?

Accepted Answer

No. This course briefly reviews key concepts and technologies in XR. However, the first course in the specialization provides a stronger foundation. This course is focused on AR/VR development. It explores possible paths to being an XR creator and introduces you to the platforms and tools for creating XR experiences. If you are already familiar with web and mobile development, this course will show you ways to transfer that knowledge to XR.

Question 5

Do I need to have programming experience?

Accepted Answer

No. To complete the main track of the course, it is ideal if you already have experience with developing web or mobile applications but not required. To complete the honors track, you should be willing to work with AR/VR software tools. Many aspects of these tools are often experimental and not very well documented. This makes it hard for beginners. However, we provide many examples and code as a starting point. Even simple adaptations of our examples will help you build more confidence and feel productive. If you have previously created an XR app, this course should still help you develop a broader understanding of possible development approaches and strategies.

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. For marker-based AR, you need to have access to a computer with a webcam and/or a smartphone. For marker-less AR, you will need access to an ARCore or ARKit capable phone. For VR, we recommend a 6DOF headset like Quest, Rift, or VIVE. For a basic VR solution of the assignments, it would be sufficient to use a Google Cardboard compatible display wrapper that turns your smartphone into VR goggles.
