Getting Started with Vuforia Studio to author Augmented Reality experiences

This article will help you to learn the ropes of using Vuforia Studio, the powerful and easy-to-use augmented reality (AR) authoring tool developed by PTC and supported by LEAP Australia.

There’s never been a better time to dive into making your own AR experiences, whether to showcase new products, improve employee training & efficiency, or to impress potential customers with amazing, interactive AR content.

Tutorials cover everything from the Vuforia workflow and getting started, to tracking using ThingMarks, spatial targets, images, models and more!

Guest Blog: Revolutionising Engineering Education with Augmented Reality at University of Sydney

Read this guest blog by Dr. Jacky Zhou on how AR is being used at the University of Sydney to provide useful benefits to students doing lab work involving complex processes and phenomena. AR offers a high degree of visualisation and interaction which has been of great help in the chemical engineering labs at this renowned academic institution.
