Next training course: AR/VR production

The Oxford X-Reality Hub is proud to announce the next course in our ongoing series, training the University community on the creation of augmented and virtual reality experiences and applications. This course is suitable for complete beginners. No technical knowledge is required. Those interested in using this technology in their research are especially encouraged to join and to discuss their project with the instructor at the end of the course.

Title: AR/VR: A practical introduction to building immersive apps with Unity

Details: 14 March 2024, 10am – 1pm

Online (this course will take place online. Those who are not part of the University of Oxford community are welcome to contact us to sign up: oxr@eng.ox.ac.uk).

During this course, participants will be introduced to Unity 3D, one of the most popular game engines for creating immersive experiences, computer games and mobile apps. The course will walk participants through the app development life cycle, exploring the most important building blocks of Unity. Students will learn how to import assets into a scene and interact with them using a user interface (UI) to create a physics simulation. They will then learn how to set up a Virtual Reality scene (without a VR headset). Finally, participants will be introduced to the process of distributing and publishing an app.
