5. Publication, Ethics, and the Future of AR
- Testing AR Apps: Challenges in testing (different lighting conditions, environments, devices).
- Publishing Apps: Export and publication process in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
- Future trends in AR: WebAR, AR glasses technologies (e.g., HoloLens, Magic Leap), and the potential of Mixed Reality (MR).
- Ethics, Privacy, and Security in AR: Legal and ethical aspects related to scanning user space and data.
- Final Project: Presentation of participants' completed projects, discussing challenges and lessons learned.
