VR Development

Welcome to VR Development! This learning pathway is designed for anyone interested in learning to create experiences for VR. This pathway assumes a basic knowledge of Unity and basic knowledge of programming. 

Skills you will learn

• Program custom VR interactions in order to meet the requirements of a project brief.
• Optimize the performance of an app in order to meet headset framerate requirements.
• Deploy VR projects to Unity-supported head-mounted displays (HMDs).
• Develop a VR app that demonstrates common interactions using Unity's XR interaction toolkit.
• Evaluate a proposed VR experience in order to suggest ways it could be improved. 
• Decide which XR hardware to target, given the goals of a particular project.
