Types of shadows

- [Instructor] While creating augmented reality experiences, we need to make sure that the virtual objects in our scene look realistic and blend well with our real world. In the previous chapter, we saw how we can use lights, reflections, and light estimation to make our virtual object look good and realistic, but there is something still missing. Notice that our virtual car seems like it's not exactly placed on the ground. That is because our car object doesn't have any shadows. In the next two videos, I'll talk about two kinds of shadows that we can implement to make our object blend well with the environment.
