In this learning experience, you will create AR apps that respond to the user’s physical environment. 
First you’ll make a marker-based app, where the device recognizes a specific image and projects an interactive 3D model on top of it.
Then you’ll make an app that detects flat surfaces, and allows the user to spawn a portal on their desk, floor, or wall. 
Anchoring AR content to real-world objects like markers and flat surfaces produces more compelling, grounded, and immersive AR experiences. 
By the end of this learning experience, you’ll be able to do the following:
Implement image marker tracking in AR.
Implement plane detection in AR.
Implement screen space and world space UI in AR apps.
Add spatial audio in AR.
Assess the performance of an AR app.
