Course Description

Virtual Reality gives users an immersive 3D gaming experience and Unity 5, along with its stunning 3D animation capabilities, is one of the best choices for game developers to create out-of-the-box Virtual Reality games for different platforms such as Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, and Samsung Gear VR.

This course takes a practical, project-based approach to teach you the basics of Virtual Reality development with the Unity 3D game engine. We walk through a series of hands-on projects, step-by-step tutorials, and in-depth discussions using Unity 5 and other free or open source software. While VR technology is rapidly advancing, we'll capture the basic principles and techniques that you can use to make your VR games and applications immersive and comfortable.

It is not up to date with the latest updates of the platforms, therefore it is difficult to follow what he says.

By Thomas Stadler on 11/22/2019

Die Untertitel sind nicht besonders gut. scheint als ob sich das niemand nochmal angesehen htte.

By Amanda Ford on 5/25/2019

It was - Though I wish there was a video highlighting VR vs AR so that I could have a visual representation of the difference...

By Dylan Greene on 2/6/2019

Content is solid. My only complaint is that several of the videos move very quickly through a few technical procedures, making it difficult to follow along.

By Thomas Miley on 11/3/2018

It spends a lot of time on history, not enough on the technology.

By Jose Garrido on 10/7/2018

Excellent coverage for beginners. Covers all the bases to jump right in.

By Jason Cheung on 9/11/2017

The information is well organized and presenting. With so much technological jargon and lingo, I think more examples ie. graphical representation would be more helpful - I am just a bit slow catching onto all the technology.

By Bill Brozas on 7/19/2017

Very informative. I am more interested in the VR application aspect rather then gaming. The course, so far, has given me a few ideas.
