When you use a 360° video in a Unity project, it's important to manage the memory the video uses. Unity's Addressables system provides a solution for managing memory for 360° videos that's easier than using the AssetBundles API.

Hand tracking is a feature that allows users to interact with applications without the need for controllers or other input devices. The Magic Leap 2 uses a combination of cameras and sensors to detect and track hand movements in real time, which allows for accurate interactions with digital objects. A selection of common gestures, such as pointing, grabbing, and pinching can be recognized by the headset and can be used in applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement hand tracking and gesture recognition in a Magic Leap 2 application, including an example where hand tracking is used to manipulate meshes in a 3D model viewer.

Meshing refers to the process of creating a 3D mesh or model of the physical environment, including surfaces, edges, and corners. Unlike plane detection, which only detects flat surfaces, meshing detects all kinds of geometry. In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement meshing in an application, including an example where meshing is used to allow 3D cubes to interact realistically with the physical environment.

The Magic Leap 2 is an immersive augmented reality (AR) headset built for enterprise solutions. The device allows you to seamlessly blend the physical world with the digital world to create immersive experiences. The Magic Leap 2 is used across multiple industries for training, collaboration, remote support, visualization, creativity, and more. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of creating applications using the Magic Leap 2. The course is made up of a series of standalone tutorials, each covering a different topic related to developing for the Magic Leap 2. First, you will get your hardware and software set up for development, but after that, you can explore the tutorials in whichever order you like.

The Magic Leap 2 comes with a single handheld controller. The controller offers six degrees of freedom (6DoF) tracking, haptic feedback, and flexible input methods, allowing for dynamic interactions with virtual objects and environments. In this tutorial, you will learn how to access and respond to input from the Magic Leap 2 controller, including an example of a typical use case where the user can toggle and control global dimming.

In this final checkpoint, you will submit your “Clone with a Twist” project in order to earn your VR Development badge and complete the pathway.

The road to the metaverse is paved in real-time 3D. But the challenges for creators are plenty – from capturing, transforming, visualizing and optimizing right-time data to creating, distributing and operating rich, interactive, immersive experiences that will engage stakeholders anywhere. Get ready to start your journey and learn the skills to thrive in the next era of computing.

In this tutorial, we’ll create and configure plane detection for AR Foundation. Plane detection finds horizontal and/or vertical planes in your physical surroundings, depending on enabled detection mode(s).

In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up AR Foundation in Unity.

Enabling VR development in Unity takes just a few steps. In this workflow, we’ll configure a standalone project for VR using the OpenVR platform.
