AR & VR Technologies Training in Bangalore

The future of AR and VR

As the hardware that supports AR and VR becomes even more accessible for consumers, more and more industries and companies will find ways to leverage this new technology. I expect the industry to make leaps and bounds in progress compared to its development in the past. I especially think that AR will be utilized in ways to make our lives more informed, connected, and convenient, and before long, well-designed AR experiences could become the norm for everything from museum visits to sports games to your daily commute, and everything in-between.

Why Learn AR and VR Development?

While making GeekForge — a daily listing of interesting coding tasks — we researched several sources where you can learn AR and VR development, and we thought it would be a good idea to share this list with you.
Augmented reality and virtual reality were a mystery to most people until Pokémon GO showed us how AR can expand gaming capabilities and how Oculus transformed the headset from a silly device into a limitless playground.
For now, entertainment seems to be the main use of this technology, but with time it will become more and more important for many other domains, such as surgical training, long-distance education, or military and space training. A successful implementation in any of these fields could make a significant dent in the history of technology use.
According to some recent studies, the few developers that had the courage to try AR and VR development are only treating it as a side hobby. For the technology to become mature enough to deal with the real problems of our society we need more dedicated people. I’d like to give you a hand in that direction and come with a hand-picked list of the best resources that not only would get you started but also could push you beyond the “just a hobby” stage.
