High Immersion

Learn the fundamentals of developing for the Vive and Rift, and their 6 degrees of freedom hand controllers. First, you will learn about the benefits and constraints of these headsets, and explore design concepts with these strengths and weaknesses in mind. Then you will learn how to use SteamVR to give your user locomotion, hand physics, and menu systems, and how to accomplish this functionality with the Oculus SDK. Finally, you will learn about cross-platform development.

Performance & Publishing

Learn how to maximize your performance for desktop VR apps, and gain an overview of possible distribution channels. First, you will learn how to use Unity’s performance tools to identify what your app’s processing bottlenecks are. This will include an overview of the most common bottlenecks and an in-depth look at how to avoid them. Then you will explore Unity’s lighting system and learn tricks for achieving beautiful lighting at a minimized performance cost. Finally, you will learn how to get your apps on Steam, Viveport, and the Oculus Store.
