 * Update: This guide is outdated as it was built using a deprecated version of the Zoe for Unity plugin. Therefore, it isn't usable at this time. We are working on a brand new series of Learn Lessons and demo scenes.  For the most accurate and relevant information, please visit https://zoeimmersive.com/unity

Zoe for Unity allows students to program interactive VR experiences with a no-code interface. While Zoe is easy to use for non-coders it also allows advanced students to integrate their own scripts. In this project we are going to walk you through the basics of Zoe for Unity with a series of short activities. This project is a great start for students who are starting to use Unity to build Virtual Reality experience and will walk them through they need to know about Zoe and its functionalities.

In this tutorial we are going to reproduce the Solar System, allow the user to navigate in between planets and learn interesting facts about them. 

You are in the middle of space, very close to the sun and to what seems a very small planet. When you look at it an information tells you that you are actually facing Mercury, the smallest planet of the solar system. Then instructions start appearing next to your controllers: you can move in space as if you were flying using your joystick. Then you are given the power to trig Mercury’s revolution around the sun by pointing at it. Finally you can be ported to the next planet by pressing a button. You will see interesting facts while you are travelling in space, notice how fast the planets are actually rotating compared to one another and you will realise that some of the distances are really long!

"Zoe for Unity" is a no-code plugin allowing you to create interactive VR experiences. In this tutorial we are going to reproduce an ancient and sustainable planting system called the “Three Sisters”. 

Scenario:  You find yourself in an abandoned farm. Some objects and structures of a native tribe remain there. You see a sign with a diagram called “The Legend of the three sisters” and a box on a wooden bench . As you discover what is inside the box you realise you will have to wake up the spirit of the three sisters by reproducing an ancient system of planting that will bring back life to your farm.

Creating a Sustainable Farming Training Experience with Zoe 

This course goes from basic to advanced Unity and Zoe functionalities. It teaches how to create a VR experience from scratch without any coding knowledge required. The course is designed for educators to leverage VR with their students teaching them how to conceive and develop VR applications always paired with educational standards and classroom subjects.

Zoe is a learning platform allowing students to become creators while developing their computational & problem solving skills through Virtual Reality. Our platform includes two software: The 'Zoe App', a standalone application for all VR headsets and 'Zoe for Unity', an extension of the game engine, allowing students to build their own interactive VR experiences while gaining experience in using the Unity Game Engine. 

With the VR for Education course, learn how to work with the 'Zoe for Unity' and leverage the power of the game engine with the simplicity of Zoe to unleash students creativity and build confidence in their technical abilities.
