Who can take this course?
This course is designed for those who are new to virtual reality and want to learn about the fundamentals of VR technology including optics, displays, stereopsis, tracking, and major hardware platforms. No programming experience is needed to take this class.
By the end of this course, you will have created and deployed a VR application. You will understand the physical principles of VR and you will use that knowledge to create a comfortable, high-performance VR application using Unity.
Course Prerequisites
Programming experience is not required. If you are new to virtual reality, and would like to start learning about this new technology, you have come to the right place.
We will teach and use the Unity platform to edit a VR app, so you should have access to a computer running Mac OS X (10.8+) or Windows (7, 8, or 10).
