EMILY: Welcome to our podcast, 'Unlocking the Power of AR'. I'm your host, Emily, and I'm excited to have Matthew, our expert in augmented reality, joining me today. Matthew, thanks for being on the show. MATTHEW: Thanks for having me, Emily. I'm thrilled to share my knowledge with your audience. EMILY: Today, we're going to talk about the Professional Certificate in Building AR Applications for Mobile Devices. Matthew, can you tell us a bit about this course and why it's so important for developers looking to break into the AR space? MATTHEW: Absolutely. This course is designed to equip developers with the skills they need to create immersive AR experiences for mobile devices. We cover everything from the fundamentals of AR to advanced topics like 3D modeling and spatial audio. EMILY: That sounds amazing. And I know our listeners are eager to know about the career opportunities in AR. Can you share some insights on that? MATTHEW: The job market for AR developers is growing rapidly. We're seeing demand from industries like gaming, education, healthcare, and retail. As a certified AR developer, you'll have a wide range of career paths to choose from. You could work on creating AR experiences for museums, or develop AR-based training programs for hospitals. EMILY: Wow, that's fascinating. And I know one of the unique features of this course is the hands-on experience with the latest AR tools and technologies. Can you tell us more about that? MATTHEW: We believe that the best way to learn is by doing. That's why we've designed the course to be highly interactive. Students will work on real-world projects, using the latest AR tools and technologies like ARKit and ARCore. They'll also have the opportunity to collaborate with peers on innovative projects. EMILY: That's great to hear. And I know our listeners are curious about how this course can help them stand out in the job market. Can you share some advice on that? MATTHEW: Having a portfolio of AR projects is essential for attracting top employers. This course will help you build a portfolio that showcases your skills and creativity. We also offer career support and guidance to help you navigate the job market. EMILY: That's fantastic. Matthew, can you give us an example of a practical application of AR in a real-world scenario? MATTHEW: One example that comes to mind is the use of AR in education. Imagine being able to point your phone at a historical landmark and see a 3D model of what it looked like centuries ago. Or, being able to visualize complex scientific concepts in 3D. AR has the power to revolutionize the way we learn. EMILY: That's a great example. Matthew, thanks for sharing your expertise with us today. You've given our listeners a lot to think about. MATTHEW: Thanks, Emily
