VR Interaction Design with Unity XR Toolkit

Creating compelling virtual reality experiences requires more than just 3D models; it demands intuitive, responsive interactions that feel natural to the user. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of VR interaction design using the Unity XR Interaction Toolkit. You will transition from understanding spatial computing basics to implementing complex locomotion systems and object physics, setting a strong foundation for your VR development journey. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core terminology of virtual reality, spatial tracking, and the OpenXR standard. 2. Configure XR Rig architectures to establish head and hand tracking in virtual space. 3. Implement direct and ray-based object selection, grabbing, and throwing mechanics. 4. Design smooth locomotion, teleportation, and snap-turn movement systems. 5. Set up modern input actions and hand-tracking interactions for enhanced presence. 6. Apply physics-based constraints to simulate realistic weight and object manipulation. You will start with the fundamental vocabulary of XR development before moving step-by-step through configuring your environment, handling inputs, and writing interaction logic. Designed specifically for beginners with basic Unity familiarity, this course requires no prior VR hardware or development experience to get started.
