Spark AR Studio is an augmented reality platform for Mac and Windows that allows for the creation of AR effects and filters for AR experiences. Spark AR Studio allows you to create your own AR effects from simple graphics to more elaborate world-building animation. You will also gain access to the AR Library which serves as a starting point for 3D files and sounds. Learning how to use these tools could be your first step towards becoming a professional creator, ultimately allowing you to become a Meta-certified professional. The effects created can be used across many social media platforms with a variety of intentions.

This course starts from the basics of navigating the Spark AR studio, allowing you to build your first effects and share them with an active community of digital artists. The course aims to enable you to translate ideas into reality in the form of a design project and also to consider the future possibilities of going deeper and starting a career in the growing world of AR.

Tutorials and immersive activities develop your ability to create basic augmented reality effects that you can review on any Android or iPhone/Apple device. Once created these effects can be customized and then published onto various platforms for use.
