In this unit, you will learn the basics of setting up a VR project and implementing simple interactivity

In this unit, you will learn the basics of setting up a VR project and implementing simple interactivity.In these tutorials, you will:

Set up a VR-ready project with the room of your choice

Implement locomotion so that users can move around the scene

Add grabbable objects users can pick up and throw around

Set up sockets that objects can snap into

In the Challenge for this unit, you will apply your skills in an architectural review prototype. Then, in the Lab, you'll fill out a design document to lay out a concept for your own project, and then begin working on it. Finally, in the Quiz, you will test your new knowledge.

This includes a course syllabus, lesson plans, scope and sequence, and other materials to enable classroom delivery.


Open the CSV outline in spreadsheet software (Excel, Google Sheets) for a summary of all content in the course, with links to each tutorial, exercise, and quiz.


Use the Common Cartridge file to import the course content into your Learning Management System (such as Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, etc.). See instructions from your LMS provider for importing Common Cartridge files.

This course assumes you have at least a basic understanding of the Unity Editor. If you have never used Unity before, we recommend that you complete the 

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.

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.

By the end of this lesson you will be able to:

Recall the key metrics for performance, including fps, tris, and draw calls, in order to locate performance targets for your device.

Explain the importance of fps as it relates to comfort of a VR experience in order to prioritize it appropriately in development.

Identify key performance metrics in the Game Stats window in order to determine whether or not your app is currently hitting its targets.

Understand factors that contribute to high draw calls in your scene in order to locate potential areas for optimization (including static batching, sharing materials, etc).

Understand factors that contribute to high polycount in your scene in order to locate potential areas for optimization (including particles, high-poly meshes, etc).

Understand factors that contribute to the performance of textures in your scene in order to locate potential areas for optimization (including texture atlases, mip maps, anisotropic filtering, etc.).

Understand the impact of particle effects and post-processing on performance in order to avoid optimization issues. 

Set up anti-aliasing in your scene in order to improve the appearance of jagged curves or angles in the scene.
