Virtual reality has profoundly impacted many aspects of modern life, from global communication and financial transactions to immersive entertainment. Developing immersive 3D virtual worlds requires a deep understanding of technology, design principles, and programming. Unity is the platform of choice for VR development, and this course provides a comprehensive understanding of its features and setup to support development for Meta Quest 2. You will first develop an understanding of basic concepts like lighting, physics, and animation, before grappling with advanced development topics like designing an interaction framework, scripting, and locomotion. By the end of the course, you will utilize your knowledge to build a VR game, i.e., Medieval Dungeon Escape. There is an acute shortage of VR developers worldwide, and this course presents a unique opportunity to advance your conceptual understanding of immersive technologies and get hands-on VR development experience.
