AUGMENTED REALITY DEVELOPER
Preferred Unity3D or Vuforia or Mixare
Augmented Reality Developer chiefly need a mixture of advanced computer vision skills, 3D modelling and desktop, web or mobile programming. This requires a good understanding of image processing and computer vision techniques, mainly for tracking either markers or the natural features on which this imagery is superimposed. A grasp of 3D modelling should include texturing, shading and rendering. Preferred programming languages can vary according to the platform but are usually C++ and C#. Last, but not least, the bleeding-edge nature of the field means that would-be AR developers should have a passion for pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Keeping abreast of new research in the field is a must - a lot of the technologies come from university-based RandD projects.
