Resource URL: Augmented Reality: Chicken Bowling Tutorial



Augmented reality, or AR for short, is a human-computer interaction where 3D computer graphics are placed into the physical world around the user through a device. In this case, the user will utilize their phone. The AR Chicken Placement App is the first part of the AR Chicken Bowling App and it teaches users how to place virtual objects in augmented reality using MIT App Inventor. The AR Chicken Bowling App is a continuation of the AR Chicken Placement App to help users continue to build their skills and confidence with augmented reality. The AR Chicken Bowling App allows users to place spheres and chickens on their screen and explore how these nodes can interact with one another.

Please note, no actual chickens are harmed in this project.
