Project 3: Clone with a twist! 

Submit your final project

It’s time to take your programming skills and apply them to create custom VR interactions.

In this first tutorial of the mission, you will learn what to expect from this mission, including an overview of the three distinct projects you’ll be working on. 

Projects in the mission

What you need to know before proceeding 

Next steps: Pre-assessment

The next object you’ll work on – the balloon inflator – will adjust the size of the balloon based on the precise trigger press value. The harder the trigger is pressed, the more the balloon will inflate. In order to accomplish this more complex, unique interaction, you will need to dive deeper into the API and its documentation. 

In this tutorial, you will reference online documentation and existing code samples to program a complex, custom VR interaction.

Overview

Set up a basic grabbable object

Instantiate and destroy the balloon

Plan the approach to your code

Get a reference to the correct controller

Scale the balloon based on the trigger value

More things to try

Next steps

This project is unlike any you’ve attempted up to this point. You will be given a project brief and a few hints, but then it is up to you to make it happen. Your goal is to implement the final few interactions in an escape room.

In this tutorial, you will get an overview of the project, learn how to use the provided hints properly, and then set up the basic project in Unity.

How to use the hints

Set up your project and scene

You’re ready to move on to the second, more challenging feature from the project brief: the keycard reader. This feature will require you to detect precise positions and angles as the card enters and exits the reader, so it will require some 3D vector skills. 

In this tutorial, you will do the following: 

Program a custom VR keycard reader according to the requirements of the project brief, with the help of optional hints

Use mathematical formulas, such as dot products, to program custom 3D interactions

Specific requirements

Clone with a twist!

Learn to write scripts for advanced interactions in VR applications, and create your own unique VR project.

In the previous missions, you used pre-made interaction scripts provided to you as part of the Create with VR project. This mission will teach you to write scripts specifically for VR applications. You’ll write these scripts from scratch in the context of three separate projects.

In project 1, the XRI example scene created by the XR Interaction Toolkit team, you'll reference existing code and documentation to program some more advanced, customized interactables.

In project 2, you’ll follow guidelines from a project brief to create part of a VR escape room. Rather than following step-by-step instructions here, you’ll only receive hints.

In project 3, which you’ll submit to receive your pathway badge, you’ll create your own unique VR project. The challenge here is to create a clone with a twist: a version of an established VR experience, but with a unique alteration.

, you should already have a good foundational knowledge of scripting in the Unity engine to make the most out of this learning content.

If you don’t already have a foundational understanding of scripting, now is an excellent time to learn. We recommend you complete the

Mission 1 Quiz 1 - VR Basics

Learn the basics of setting up a VR project and implementing simple interactivity like locomotion and grabbing objects.

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

In these tutorials, you will do the following:

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 mission, 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.
