For those new to creating virtual reality in Unity, this project utilizes a popular free plugin called VRTK to create a "Jump Start Your Car Battery" app prototype that focuses on getting started quickly, with minimal or no development experience.

This guide will describe the optimal hierarchy setup for XR projects in Unity.

This course consists of the following projects: An Introduction to Unity Real-time Environments The CAD Workflow and Animation MR Functionality Polish and Performance Capstone Project: Build a Remote Training Application

In this tutorial, we’ll configure Unity for AR development targeting iOS or Android.

Set up Unity to enable the use of virtual reality.

In this recorded live training session, Unity VR evangelist Dan Miller shows how to author great VR experiences using the assets from the VR Essentials Pack including: Final IK, VR Panorama 360 and Curved UI.

What is XR? It’s shorthand for a related set of new technologies that are changing the way we interact with the world and with each other: Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality. To understand XR, you need to understand the technologies that enable it. If you understand the available technologies, how they are used, and what their future holds, you’ll be well equipped to deal with XR as it rapidly evolves and converges. In this course, we will present an introduction to XR using a broadly chronological approach, focusing on how all of the underlying technologies came together at key moments in the history of XR to launch the concepts of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality into the mainstream consciousness. Throughout the course, we’ll give a brief description of each of the supporting technologies, some history about when it first came into use, limitations and future potential for improvement, and how it’s used for AR, VR, and MR. As you learn about the technology, you’ll also develop hands on experience in the field along two tracks. First, you will use Unity to build and run two simple XR applications on your own smartphone: a “VR Museum” app and a handheld Augmented Reality app. Second, you will brainstorm, define, visualize, and iterate your own original concept for an XR application, ending the course with a thorough and peer-reviewed XR Product Brief that you could use as the basis for future development. This is the first of three planned courses in Unity's XR Specialization, which include the Mobile VR App Development with Unity course as well as a future course focused on developing Augmented Reality (AR) applications with Unity.

We provide practical, hands-on training with Unity to teach skills necessary to build world-class Virtual and Augmented Reality applications, immersive technologies used by the most advanced and progressive companies in the world.  In this course, you’ll learn to: Design an Augmented Reality experience that can be used to visualize products and narratives, at any time from your mobile phone. Create highly realistic and immersive virtual scenes by manipulating features, such as lighting, materials and textures, object animations, and post-processing effects. Implement interactive menus to quickly toggle between products, application features, such as lighting and interaction settings. Import 3D CAD models directly into Unity, for accurate  visualization and product design reliability. Incorporate information media (audio, video, text, and images) to enhance the informational delivery and narrative and your user’s virtual experience.

The Unity Native Toolkit, available in the Asset Store, “makes it easy to integrate native iOS or Android functionality into your Unity project.” In this tutorial, we’ll use the Native Toolkit to create a UI button for taking photographs in AR, or screenshots in general. (You can also capture a screenshot using code, for example, with an in-game camera.)

A Snap Zone (or "Snap Drop Zone") is a designated area where you can place an object near it, illuminating a shape to indicate you can place it there. Upon releasing the held object, it will "snap" into place. This is handy for guiding the player on where certain objects should be placed, and also allows us to only allow certain objects to be dropped in the Snap Zone.
