Welcome to the Mixed Reality Developer Course repository. This course is designed to guide you through the process of becoming a proficient mixed reality (MR) developer. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, this course offers a structured learning path through the exciting world of MR, including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
The course is divided into eight modules, each focusing on a different aspect of MR development. From the fundamentals of MR to the deployment of your applications, this course covers a broad spectrum of topics essential for any aspiring MR developer.
- Introduction to Mixed Reality: Understand the concept of mixed reality and its applications in merging the physical and digital worlds.
- VR and AR Basics: Learn the key differences between VR and AR, including insights into their respective hardware, software, and interaction models.
- 3D Graphics Fundamentals: Dive into the world of 3D graphics, exploring modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering techniques.
- Interaction Design in XR: Study the principles of interaction design to create intuitive and immersive MR experiences.
- Unity 3D or Unreal Engine Basics: Get to grips with a development platform of your choice and master its interface, tools, and scripting capabilities for XR development.
- AR Development with ARKit/ARCore: Explore AR development tools like ARKit for iOS and ARCore for Android to create interactive real-world overlays.
- VR Development with Unity/Unreal: Learn to create immersive VR environments and interactions using Unity or Unreal Engine.
- Creating Immersive Environments: Understand the techniques for designing and building captivating virtual worlds.
- User Interface Design in MR: Delve into UI/UX design considerations specific to MR applications, focusing on user comfort and interaction fluidity.
- Gestures and Controllers: Learn about implementing gestures, hand tracking, and controller use for natural MR interactions.
- Spatial Mapping and Meshing: Grasp how spatial mapping works to integrate digital content seamlessly with the physical world.
- Real-world Integration: Discover methods to align virtual objects within physical spaces effectively.
