Key Benefits

Learn at your own pace

You have access to 40 hours of comprehensive video content. The 6 weeks curriculum is based on an average learner spending 10 hours per week on content + assignments, however, you are free to plan around your personal schedule, and master rendering optimization for VR at your own pace.

Enterprise Level VR Project

The capstone project you will create is an industry state-of-the-art VR project which you can showcase in your portfolio and prove your senior level skills. Impress your lead or client with your newly acquired advanced rendering optimization skills!

Challenging Assignments

Each week, you will receive challenging assignments with increasing difficulty levels leading to your capstone project. Mentors are available to give you short but constructive feedback on your submissions on the community slack channel.

Sample Code Access

Project templates and sample code are provided to you so that you can fully focus on learning to optimize rendering for VR!

Live Mentorship

In weekly technical mentorship classes, you'll apply what you learned in the lectures, hitting your regular milestones on your project. You will get actionable feedback and advice on how to improve your skills.

In the live classes, you will get to know your classmates. We organize social breaks, team meetings, master-minds, and get-togethers for everyone to get to know each other and build a great new network!

If you subscribe to the live mentorship sessions, you can submit all your questions. In the group mentorship hours, you will get time with technical mentors to go over your implementation questions from the lectures and assignments.

Yes, you will need access to a headset with controllers (preferentially Oculus). Owning an Oculus Quest is optional. Please let us know if you have difficulties accessing equipment. An Oculus Quest 2 is distributed to participants (based on availability and regional accessibility).

The class is implementation focused. Students implement a capstone project application from scratch – with the help of sample code and project templates.

After applying, we will interview you in person (online). After asking a few questions, we will be able to quickly tell if you are eligible.
