Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation of a 3D environment, which when experienced using HMDs gives a realistic effect. The VR/AR app development requires knowledge of VR/AR hardware and any software, which will help one to design it.
This comprehensive course offers an in-depth dive into the world of AR/VR development using Unity3D. By blending theoretical concepts with practical hands-on experience, participants will gain the skills necessary to create immersive AR/VR applications for both gaming and business purposes. Throughout the course, students will:
- Explore foundational VR concepts, including types of VR experiences and hardware
- Master Unity3D’s development environment, from interface navigation to advanced 3D simulation
- Learn how to create VR applications, integrate VR devices, and implement gaze-based controls
- Delve into AR development, comparing ARKit and ARCore, and mastering 2D/3D object tracking using Vuforia SDK
- Implement mixed reality (MR) interaction techniques such as gesture and voice control, enhancing user engagement
- Gain a solid understanding of cross-platform deployment, scene management, and data persistence in Unity3D
- By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to build, deploy, and refine both AR and VR-based applications
