Week 1: Dive into your tools, and build your foundation
Welcome to class! This week you’ll get to know all the tools needed for great VR training applications. By the end of this week, you’ll be able to set up a Unity template project you can use on any future VR training apps you work on. This is the foundation we’ll build on together leading into your 2nd week.
Week 2: Build your first basic training workflow
What good is a prototype if it doesn’t apply to your immediate work case? This week you’ll create a basic training workflow based on your company’s unique processes using your new knowledge of best practices and VR training techniques. We’ll continue to build on your basic training workflow in your 3rd week.
Week 3: Make your workflow even more advanced
Now that your basic workflow is ready to go, we’re going to turn up the heat and make it more completely meet the needs of your work case. Your basic workflow is now an advanced workflow! But don’t worry, you’re not alone in this! You’ll be matched with a developer this week to help implement these additional, more complex features for your prototype which you’ll polish in your 4th week.
Week 4: Review, Iterate, and Finalize
Bring your now advanced prototype through the last stages of its production cycle. You’ll do some final assembly using the pieces your developer partner delivered, you’ll go over feedback together, iterate on any needed changes, and finish your advanced work ready prototype with all the knowledge and skills needed to rework the prototype for future work cases.
Course Essentials
Build a Proof of Concept
The project you will create is an industry ready VR program, which will open doors when pitching new projects or applying for cross-industry VR positions. Show your VR prototype to your colleagues, digitize your department or create more prototypes for enterprise clients.
No Coding Prerequisites
During the class, you will be matched with either a developer or project manager to complete the most complex XR application requirements. Learn XR project management or development, and how to best communicate project requirements across your team efficiently.
Fast Track to Expert Knowledge
Arm yourself with hard-earned expertise delivered by top-tier industry professionals. During Lectures and Mentorship sessions, your instructors will share lessons-learned, tips and tricks of successful VR application roll-outs.
