Final Project

Students submit a playable cross-platform XR game with documentation covering platform-specific decisions made during development.

Practical skills you can apply the moment the session ends.

This program addresses one of the more technically demanding areas in game development: building AR/VR experiences that work reliably on different hardware. Most developers run into platform fragmentation early and spend weeks debugging issues that stem from architectural decisions made at the start of a project.

The course focuses on Unity as the primary engine, with OpenXR as the cross-platform abstraction layer. You will work through spatial anchoring, controller input mapping, and performance budgets specific to headset hardware such as Meta Quest and HoloLens.

Sessions include hands-on projects: a room-scale VR puzzle and a marker-based AR mini-game. Both are built with portability in mind from the first commit.

Understanding the rendering pipeline differences between mobile AR and tethered VR headsets is what separates a working prototype from a shippable product.

No prior XR experience is required, but comfort with C# and basic Unity workflows is expected before enrollment.
