This will guide you to available resources to understand Augmented Reality concepts from scratch.

“What makes innovative thinking happen?… I think it’s really a mindset. You have to decide.”- Elon Musk

Augmented reality (AR) is an experience where designers enhance parts of users’ physical world with computer-generated input. AR part of the surrounding environment is actually ‘real’ and just adding layers of virtual objects to the real environment.

A medium in which digital information is overlaid on the physical world that is in both spatial and temporal registration with the physical world and that is interactive in real-time

Tracking

AR relies on computer vision to see the real world and recognise the objects in it. The process of scanning, recognizing, segmentation and analyzing environmental information is called tracking.

Inside out
Outside In
Motion Tracking

Environmental Understanding

The ability to detect and generate a flat surface is known as Plane finding. Information about the physical world around AR devices. A major part in Environmental understanding, how it is detecting the planes or horizontal surfaces in an area.

Anchors

User-defined points in which AR objects are placed. A virtual object attached to a featured point, which is identified and tracked by Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).

Types of Anchors

Plane Anchors
Image Anchors
Face Anchors
3-D Anchors

Light Estimation

Detecting the lighting automatically of the place around, which forms a better appearance of virtual visuals for the users.

Occlusion

When one 3D object blocks another 3D object from view is known as Occlusion.

How To Create A GitHub Profile README 📝

ARUN KUMAR V — Sun, 02 Aug 2020 19:35:18 +0000

GitHub recently released a feature that allows users to create a profile-level README to display prominently on their GitHub profile. This article walks through how to access this new feature.

Check out My GitHub Profile README 📝 Here

Why READMEs📝?

The GitHub profile-level README feature allows more content than the bio profile, supports markdown, which means that you can play around with content more visually (Did someone say GIFs!?) and the README is significantly more visible as it is placed above-pinned repositories and takes up as much space above the fold of the webpage as you like.

In my view, the README profile level tends to be a great extension of the standard that many GitHub users are already familiar with.

How do I create a profile README?

The README profile is created by creating a new repository with the same name as your user name.

For example, my GitHub username is Arunkumarvallal so I created a new repository with the name Arunkumarvallal.

Create a new repository with the same name (including casing) as your GitHub username: https://github.com/new
Create a README.md file inside the new repo with content. README files can contain many elements like the following: Images (SVG, png, etc…), Gifs, Texts, Emojis. You can also display

GitHub Profile Stats Card
Visitors Count Badge
Latest dev.to blogs dynamically (Github Action)
Latest medium blogs dynamically (Github Action)

Commit your cushy new README!

If you're on GitHub's web interface you can choose to commit directly to the repository main branch (i.e., master or main) which will make it immediately visible on your profile)

Already have a repo-named username/username?

If you are interested in setting up a profile-level README then you can rename the repository or repurpose its existing README based on what makes the most sense in your particular situation.

Check the cache message that ✨Special ✨repository "You have found a secret"
NOTE: As I have already created the repo hence it's showing
"The repo already exists"

There are many people who are done there profile README in innovative ways. They used their skills in their ReadMe. There are a bunch of people I think they did their README in an innovative way and I have listed them down in a link.
