VR development is an amazing career, with both demand and salaries rising. Every innovative VR professional relies on a core set of tools and principles. If you’re going to succeed, then you need to master them, too.

What You Will Learn

Lesson 1
What is VR?

  • Learn the basic history of VR development
  • Learn the physical principles of VR including display optics and orientation tracking
  • Understand how comfort & presence play a role in VR development

Lesson 2
Platforms & Paradigms

  • Learn the difference between native game engines and web platforms
  • Learn how tracking in VR works
  • Learn about the different platforms currently available for VR development

Lesson 3
Hello World

  • Learn about to install and open a project in the Unity platform
  • Learn how to view inspect and gain a basic understanding of the Unity platform interface

This course is the second course in the specialization about learning how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment.
