Work with augmented reality (AR) and the web

Lesson 1:User interaction andhow to save data

• Writeand access files within Apps;
• Serializea data model for saving and loading data from and into Apps;
• Customisetables for adding, deleting andcustomisingactions;
• Create custom row actions.

Lesson 2: User input and system controls in Apps

• Displaying alerts, sharing content and sending messages from within Apps;
• Access to the camera and photo library on the device;
• Build custom forms for creating new object models;
• Get complex user input through forms, data collection and dynamic table views.

Lesson 3: Construct an AR App

• Learn how to use the AR app template;
• Investigate AR components and compare their differences with existing components;
• Build AR scenes in 3D space using objects;
• Determine planes and how objects interact with them.

Lesson 4: Interact with an AR App

Lesson 5: Closures and Animation

• Define and use closures;
• Use defined functions: sort, filter, reduce and map;
• Utilise animation for a greater user experience;
• Use UIKit to create animations.

Lesson 6: Communicate with the Web

• Describe requests and responses, and discover how are they built, used and analysed;
