About this course: Virtual Reality is one of the most exciting experiences that technology can give us. The immersion and presence you can have in VR is quite unlike any other medium. Like many others, you are excited about the possibilities of this new medium and want to get started developing your own VR experiences. This course will take you through all of the steps you need to create a VR game or other project. This is the final course in our Specialisation: Virtual Reality. The previous courses teach you the skills you need to make a VR game. This course brings them all together to create a project of your own. We will guide you through all the steps of a VR project: coming up with an idea, storyboarding, prototyping, testing and implementation. By the end of this course you will have a complete VR project that demonstrates your skills and could be the first step in creating a professional game. We hope this course can be your entry into professional VR development. To help you get started, some good advice always helps. That is why we have interviewed VR experts from all over the world, ranging from technology pioneers with over 30 years experience in VR to the latest cutting edge VR creators. We have asked all of them to give you their advice and we hope it inspires you to become part of the future of VR.
Who is this class for: This class is for people who are interested in becoming Virtual Reality Developers. You don't need any particular experience of development, but some experience of digital creative work (e.g. photoshop, illustrator, digital music) will be helpful. If you are completely new to VR you might want to first follow our courses "Introduction to Virtual Reality", "3D models for Virtual Reality", "3D Interaction Design in Virtual Reality" and "Building 3D Interactive Characters and Social Virtual Reality" which cover the basic concepts and how to create 3D models and characters.

The culmination of the VR specialization, this is finally your time to bring it all together in a final project. Not as much new here as it is focused on your project prototyping and development. That said, despite being six weeks it is still a very short time to accomplish your goals so be very mindful of the scope you set out to achieve. All told, it has been a great experience.
Perfect end to the specialisation to put all the skills we lear t to the test.
