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.

Submit your final project

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

If you are not interested in sharing your work, simply mark this step as complete, scroll to the bottom of the page above the Submission Gallery and select Skip submission and continue. 

You can still successfully complete the course without sharing your work.

We would love to see what you've created with VR! 

Please take a screenshot of your project or do a screen-recording walking us through it, then post it here to share what you’ve made. You can take screenshots within the Unity Editor or try to capture footage directly from the device.

We highly recommend that you comment on at least one other creator's submission. What do you like about the project? What would be a cool new feature they might consider adding? 


Additional resources on capturing footage directly from an Oculus device:

Screenshots and video capture on Oculus devices

Transferring files to and from Oculus devices

Oculus devices cannot currently capture the microphone input during video recordings, but the app’s audio is recorded.

Due to the variable refresh rate in videos, recorded audio will likely be out of sync from the video footage. To sync the audio and video perfectly, you may need to edit them in a video editing program.
