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.

Welcome to VR Development! This learning pathway is designed for anyone interested in learning to create experiences for VR. This pathway assumes a basic knowledge of Unity and basic knowledge of programming.

Virtual reality began to really take hold after 2010, when the technology required to make consumer-friendly devices became affordable. The adoption of VR technology has been slow but steady. Because it’s been less than a decade since the industry really took off, it’s fairly easy to trace key points in history leading to the release of the headsets themselves.

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. Thanks to Andrew, creator of the VR with Andrew YouTube channel, for collaborating with us on this course. Educators who want to bring this curriculum into their classroom should refer to Create with VR for Educators.

You will learn how to: Create Crisp Text using Text Mesh Pro Import custom fonts from Google Fonts to use with Text Mesh Pro Precision Grab Interactable Objects that avoids "jumping" to your hand

In this tutorial, we'll explore some best practices to keep users comfortable in your virtual world. When your user first "arrives" in the virtual world, it’s a good idea to give them some time and space to get adjusted. Consider integrating an exercise to familiarize them with navigating and interacting with the environment.

* Update: This guide is outdated as it was built using a deprecated version of the Zoe for Unity plugin.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 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. Learn more about Zoe and sign-up for a free teacher account on www.zoe.com.

This course is for educators who want to equip their students with the skills and experience that will enable them to be the creators of tomorrow. The course provides training, support, community, and resources for educators to successfully teach VR development with Unity. In the self-paced part of this course, 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 skillset. 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 and your students bring those ideas to life in VR. To access educator resources such as the course syllabus, scope and sequence, lesson plans and more, navigate to the “For Educators” tab. See our FAQ for more information.

In this tutorial, you’ll set up a VR Menu in World space and configure it so users can interact with it accordingly. By the end, you will be able to set the color of a panel by pointing at a button and pulling the trigger on the handset.

Out of the box, the Unity Reflect Viewer allows for quick and easy design reviews on desktop, AR, and VR. Using an HTC Vive, reviewers can view the Mesh from a first-person view at scale as well as perform easy flythroughs. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to navigate in VR and interact with the Mesh data.
