Program Description

Event Details

This course offers an introduction to virtual reality programming using a game engine, which are commonly used to program virtual reality games. Students will learn key terms in VR development and participate in a demonstration of how this is often done in the instructor's preferred game engine. Ample examples of where this is used in real VR games will be provided. At the end of the course, the instructor will provide free game resources to students, allowing them to further explore VR on their own. 

This is an in-person workshop.
