1 Programming languages

To create AR applications, you need to be proficient in at least one programming language that can interact with AR platforms and frameworks. Some of the most popular languages for AR development are C#, Java, Swift, and JavaScript. You should also be familiar with scripting languages such as Python and Lua, which can help you automate tasks and manipulate data. Programming languages enable you to define the logic, functionality, and behavior of your AR app.

Keep in mind the specific device form factor you are targeting - whether it's a mixed reality device with video passthrough like Meta Quest 3 (C#) or Apple Vision Pro (Swift), or mobile AR (Swift/C#), or smart glasses (the upcoming Frame by Brilliant Labs uses Lua, for example).

It's important to acknowledge the main tools in the XR development ecosystem. It is a mix between 3D softwares as Unity and Unreal Engine, and more classic scipting languages, C# and C++ respectively. Also, the platform on which the app will be published may require an additional language (Java for Android, etc.). But Unity and Unreal already provide really strong tools, that can be practiced at home for free.

Proficiency in programming languages is essential for developing AR applications. The most common languages used in AR development are: Unity/C#: Unity is a popular game engine widely used for AR development. C# is the primary scripting language for Unity. Java/Kotlin: If you're developing for Android AR applications, Java or Kotlin are essential. Swift/Objective-C: For iOS AR development, Swift and Objective-C are necessary.

2 AR frameworks and SDKs

AR frameworks and software development kits (SDKs) are tools that provide you with ready-made components and features to build AR apps. They can help you save time and effort, as well as access advanced capabilities such as image recognition, face tracking, and spatial mapping. Some of the most widely used AR frameworks and SDKs are ARKit, ARCore, Vuforia, and Unity. You should learn how to use these tools effectively and efficiently, as well as how to integrate them with other libraries and APIs.

Understanding AR frameworks and software development kits (SDKs) is vital for creating AR experiences. Some of the most widely used AR frameworks include: ARKit (iOS): Apple's ARKit is a powerful framework for creating AR experiences on iOS devices. ARCore (Android): Google's ARCore is the counterpart to ARKit, enabling AR experiences on Android devices. Vuforia: Vuforia is a popular cross-platform AR development platform known for its marker-based tracking and image recognition capabilities. Unity AR Foundation: Unity AR Foundation provides a unified interface for AR development across different AR platforms, including ARKit, ARCore, and more.

Each platform (Meta, Apple, MagicLeap, HoloLens...) provide their own sdk that facilitates XR development. For cross platform apps, the Mixed Reality Toolkit from Microsoft and now MagicLeap is a solid solution as of interaction management and UI.

3 3D modeling and animation

AR apps often involve creating and displaying 3D models and animations that enhance the realism and interactivity of the virtual elements. To do this, you need to have skills in 3D modeling and animation software such as Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max. You should also know how to optimize your 3D assets for performance and quality, as well as how to export them to compatible formats for your AR app.

Absolutely! While mastering tools like Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max is great for creating stunning 3D models and animations, learning how to reduce the polycount of your models is crucial. Lower poly models are key for making AR experiences render faster and more smoothly. This optimization step ensures your AR app runs efficiently, enhancing the overall user experience by maintaining high performance without compromising on visual quality. It's a vital skill for any AR developer aiming to deliver seamless and engaging AR content.

4 User interface and user experience design

AR apps require a different approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design than traditional apps. You need to consider how to design intuitive and engaging interfaces that blend seamlessly with the real world, as well as how to provide feedback and guidance to the users. You should also understand the principles of human-computer interaction, usability, and accessibility in AR contexts. UI and UX design skills can help you create AR apps that are user-friendly and enjoyable.

NO Apliques más las leyes de UX ?? ?? para #RealidadAumentada Cuando dise?as en #RA o #RealidadVirtual Algunas REGLAS o mejor dicho: Leyes Heurísticas de usabilidad No APLICAN! ??. Recuerda que aquí debes tener en cuenta TODO el contexto del usuario. Debes dise?ar dentro del espacio visual, no dentro del área de pantalla. Esto es UI #Spatial??: ? No ubiques elementos fuera del FOV (Campo de visión) Usualmente es de + y - 30 grados. ? Usa animaciones cortas ? La distancia ideal desde la ubicación del usuario con objetos interactivos es entre 1,5 a 5 metros. Hay muchas más recomendaciones que son importante para hacer una carrera en RA, sin embargo si quieres aprender más, conéctemonos y te comparto mis talleres y ebooks.

5 Testing and debugging

Testing and debugging are essential steps in any software development process, but they can be especially challenging in AR apps. You need to test your AR app on different devices, environments, and scenarios, as well as identify and fix any errors or bugs that might affect its functionality or quality. You should also use tools and methods such as logging, breakpoints, simulators, and emulators to help you troubleshoot and improve your AR app.

These are some of the most important technical skills to master if you want to pursue a career in AR. Of course, you should also keep learning and updating your skills as the technology evolves and new opportunities emerge. AR is a fast-growing and exciting field that offers many possibilities for creativity and innovation.
