Building Virtual Reality Apps for Vive VR in Unity3D with Jason Weimann

Building Virtual Reality Apps for Vive VR in Unity3D with Jason Weimann

Author: Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell June 16, 2016 Duration: 54:29
Virtual Reality is here, and there are choices! Carl and Richard talk to Jason Weimann about the HTC Vive, the competitor to the Oculus Rift. Jason talks about how the two devices are similar and how they are different. And one place they are similar is the programming model - it's all about Unity3D. The conversation focuses in on what it takes to really learn Unity - you're working in Visual Studio with C#, but the platform and tooling are quite a bit different. And don't worry too much about 3D art, there are tons of free assets! VR is here, are you ready?
