# Create with VR

_Learn to design and develop Virtual Reality (VR) applications in Unity through tutorials, quizzes, and the creation of your own unique VR project._

In this official course from Unity, you will learn to design and develop your own Virtual Reality (VR) applications. You will create prototypes, attempt challenges, and complete quizzes to build and solidify your skill set. At the same time, you will be guided through creating your own unique VR project from start to finish, beginning with a blank design document and ending with a fully functional project. Whether you want to create an interactive walkthrough of an ancient ruin, a product configurator for a car manufacturer, a simulator for operating dangerous machinery, or any other experience, this course will help you bring those ideas to life in VR.

Thanks to Andrew, creator of the [VR with Andrew](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG8bDPqp3jykCGbx-CiL7VQ/about) YouTube channel, for collaborating with us on this course.

Educators who want to bring this curriculum into their classroom should refer to [Create with VR for Educators](https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-vr-for-educators).
