In addition, you’ll get the most out of this learning content if you have some previous basic experience using VR applications and hardware. But you do not need any experience developing for VR to use this learning content.

This course will help you learn to design and develop your own Virtual Reality (VR) applications in Unity through tutorials, challenges, 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.

In this quiz, you will test the knowledge and skills you learned in Unit 1 related to VR Basics.

This quiz is part of the Create with VR course. 

Unit 2: VR Basics

This quiz will assess skills learned in the following tutorials:

If you are targeting a mobile VR headset (as opposed to a tethered headset), which scriptable render pipeline (SRP) is most appropriate?

The High-Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP)

The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a prebuilt Scriptable Render Pipeline, made by Unity. URP provides artist-friendly workflows that let you quickly and easily create optimized graphics across a range of platforms, from mobile to high-end consoles and PCs. HDRP is not recommended for VR, since performance is so critical for user experience. Mobile and VR Render pipelines are not real. 

When a VR Device claims to support “6 Degrees of Freedom” (6 DOF), what is “6” referring to?

The degrees of freedom refer to the number of axes that are tracked for position and rotation. Older headsets were mostly 3DOF, since they would only track the rotation about the 3 axes, but not any of the position axis data.

Which of the following can be done through the Package Manager window? 

Which of the following can be done through the Package Manager window?   Select all correct answers.  

Configure your Build Settings in order to deploy to your device vs the device simulator.

Add the XR Plugin Management package, which allows you to deploy to different VR devices.

Add the XR Interaction Toolkit package, which enables you to more easily develop for VR.

Configure whether your scene is using either 3 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) or 6 DOF.

Both the XR Interaction Toolkit and the XR Plugin Management packages can be added through the package manager. Build settings are configured through the Build Settings window. Degrees of Freedom are configured through properties in your XR Rig.

You have an empty Unity scene with only a Directional Light and a Main Camera in it. 

What would happen if you added an XR Origin object to that scene? 

You have an empty Unity scene with only a Directional Light and a Main Camera in it.  What would happen if you added an XR Origin object to that scene?   

A new object is added called an XR Origin and the Main Camera is made a child object of the XR Origin object. 

The Directional Light is removed from the scene, since it cannot be rendered in VR.

The Main Camera is duplicated so that there is one for each eye.

The Camera component on the Main Camera is replaced by an XR Camera component.

When you add an XR Origin object, the Main Camera is automatically relocated in the Hierarchy as a child object of the XR Origin. A new Tracked Pose Driver component is added to the Camera, which applies the current Pose value of a tracked device (headset) to the transform of the GameObject.

Listed below are four types of locomotion that are possible in VR. 

Which two of these are least likely to induce simulator sickness?

Listed below are four types of locomotion that are possible in VR.  Which two of these are least likely to induce simulator sickness? Select the two correct answers.  

Teleport movement - the user clicks and is instantly transported to a new location. 

Scripted movement - the user is automatically moved around the scene, controlled by a script.

Continuous (Controller) movement - the user uses a thumbstick or D-pad to smoothly move through the scene.

Physical (Room-scale) movement - the user physically moves in the real world in order to move in VR.

Simulator sickness tends to occur when the visual field makes it appear as if the user is moving, but the user is not actually moving in the real world. This illusion is known as “vection”. Both Continuous and Scripted movement have this quality. 

You want to make a ball that the user can grab and throw around the scene. The ball should bounce off of the walls and floor. 

Which components and properties would the ball likely have?

You want to make a ball that the user can grab and throw around the scene. The ball should bounce off of the walls and floor.  Which components and properties would the ball likely have?  Select all correct answers.  

A Physics Material assigned to the collider.

“Use Gravity” enabled in the Rigidbody component.

An XR Grab Interactable component with “Kinematic” movement type.

A Sphere Collider with “Is Trigger” enabled.

“Is Kinematic” enabled in the Rigidbody component.

If you enable “Is Trigger” for the collider, the collider will no longer  be able to collide with other objects. 

If “Is Kinematic” is enabled, Forces (like gravity), collisions or joints will not affect the rigidbody anymore. The rigidbody will be under full control of animation or script control by changing transform.position.

You made a socket interactor for a phone charging dock in VR. However, the phone object is not snapping to the socket. 

What could possibly explain why this is happening?

You made a socket interactor for a phone charging dock in VR. However, the phone object is not snapping to the socket.  What could possibly explain why this is happening?  Select all correct answers.  

The collider does not have “Is Trigger” enabled.

The collider is a box collider instead of a sphere collider.

The socket and the phone interactable only share one interaction layer.

In order for a socket to detect another interactable object, its collider needs to have “Is Trigger” enabled. 

Otherwise, the collider will act like a solid object that cannot overlap with other objects.

In the screenshot below, you can see the way the hand should be oriented when it picks up the lantern.

The local direction of the lantern is shown by the axis gizmos in the image. 

Which of the following orientations for an Attach Point for this lantern would achieve the desired effect shown in the image? 

In the screenshot below, you can see the way the hand should be oriented when it picks up the lantern. The local direction of the lantern is shown by the axis gizmos in the image.  Which of the following orientations for an Attach Point for this lantern would achieve the desired effect shown in the image?   

Green arrow pointing forwards and blue arrow pointing right.

Green arrow pointing left and blue arrow pointing forward.

Green arrow pointing forward and blue arrow pointing down.

Green arrow pointing forward and blue arrow pointing up.

If you are holding your right hand out in a fist with your thumb straightened as if you are giving a “thumbs up” signal, the front of your fist should align with the blue (Z axis) and your thumb should align with the Y (green) arrow. 

Which of the following is true about mobile vs tethered headsets?

Which of the following is true about mobile vs tethered headsets?  Select all correct answers.  

A mobile headset can support higher-end graphics than tethered headsets.

A tethered headset gets its processing power from a gaming console or computer.

A tethered headset supports 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF), while mobile headsets do not.

Some mobile headsets can be plugged in and operate as tethered headsets.

A tethered headset is plugged into a more powerful computer or console, which provides all of the processing power. This allows tethered headsets to support higher-end graphics. 

The lines between these types of devices is sometimes blurred with devices that can act as mobile and tethered devices.

XR refers to any technology that blurs the line between real and digital worlds. The X is a placeholder letter for various types of these technologies, including VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality). There is debate over what the X stands for, some claiming the X stands for eXtended Reality.
