Design Concepts for Virtual Reality Games

Abstract

Virtual Reality is an emerging field with diverse employment opportunities ranging from programming, engineering, design, and media development. This micro-credential will help students learn how to design and create virtual reality applications.

Through this course, students will gain hands-on practice working with virtual reality (VR) design, such as graphic features, user interface, animation systems, game objects, and physics systems. Learners will find out how to measure the performance of their design and learn optimization techniques to improve it. They will put their skills to the test by creating an immersive game in the final assignment.

The learning outcomes are 1. Demonstrate how to set up a VR environment in Unity--2. Explore and make use of the graphics features in Unity--3. Perform Scripting Management for VR game design--4. Demonstrate Multimedia and User-Interface Management in Unity.

This micro-credential includes learning lessons, student activities, and assignments. The course can be downloaded into a learning management system such as Desire2Learn or Brightspace.
