Join us Saturday, February 25th, 2017 for an intensive day of learning VR! In our workshop, you’ll build a VR Funhouse, a project in which you experiment with physics in virtual reality with the Unity game engine. Starting from scratch, you’ll learn the basics of Unity to create a VR project, understand the subtleties of a great experience, and walk away with a working demo you can easily extend. You'll also get to know a community of VR devs and learn how to bootstrap your own VR projects.





We'll provide you with:



An entire day of learning how to build a VR experience in Unity

HTC Vives and Oculus Rifts for testing your projects

Nearly every VR experience to play during down time (seriously, we have almost everything!)

Access to FusedVR livestreams and tutorials

Food and drink





You'll learn how to:



Navigate the Unity Interface

Color and Build 3D Scenes

Utilize the SteamVR SDK

Implement Teleportation and Throwing

Interact with Unity Physics

Grasp the Do’s and Don’ts of VR

Rapidly Prototype VR Projects





You'll leave with:

A VR Funhouse project which you can show off and build upon

A stronger understanding of how to use Unity to create your own VR projects

A new network of friends and colleagues who are passionate about VR





Requirements for this course:



A computer with Unity 5 installed (Macs are acceptable).

A mouse with a scroll wheel is highly recommended (Trust us, it makes a world of a difference.)

A basic understanding of programming (If you have never done programming before, we recommend the Udacity Intro to Programming Nanodegree)

If you feel comfortable with the code snippet below (it's pseudo-code, not Unity C#), you should be ready to rock!
