I recently posted about this on the Mustachian Marketplace, but I believe it makes more sense to post it here.
I'm blown away by the potential of using AR in many aspects of life, specifically, for Construction & Education applications. Having a background in 3D modeling, Education and Construction, it just seems like such a good fit for a potential career path for me.
I don't know where to start though. I've read that the most common programs being used for development of AR are Unity & Unreal. I've read that Unity is easier, but Unreal has more potential uses. I'm not sure how true this is, since I have yet to use either.
I'm planning to download the Unreal Engine and try to teach myself, but the pessimistic side of me worries that I'll be wasting my time unless I have some direction with what I'm doing.
Do any of my fellow Mustachians have experience working with Unreal or something similar? Are there any VR/AR developers that could offer advice on how to get started?
I appreciate any advice!
