Which VR tools and packages are used?
Tech Stack: Learners use Unity, XR Interaction Toolkit, Oculus XR Plugin, Starter Assets and Spatial Keyboard Assets as part of the published VR workflow.
Unity
The primary real-time development environment used throughout the course.
XR Interaction Toolkit
Used for XR Origin, interaction and grabbable-object workflows.
Oculus XR Plugin
Included in the published package setup for the VR project.
Starter & Spatial Assets
Used to support interaction and spatial keyboard workflows.
What skills does a beginner need to start VR development?
A useful VR developer foundation is broader than learning a headset API. Beginners need to understand how a real-time 3D scene is structured, how a user moves and interacts in that scene, and how application logic turns those interactions into a usable experience.
Real-Time 3D Fundamentals
Unity provides the scene, GameObject and component model used to organize virtual environments and interactive content.
XR Origin & Spatial Interaction
XR Origin establishes the user's tracked position in the virtual scene, while interaction components connect controllers or tracked input to virtual objects.
Object Interaction & Feedback
Colliders, XR Grab Interactable, tags and visual outlines help virtual objects respond clearly when a learner selects, moves or matches them.
UI, Logic & Immersive Audio
Spatial interfaces, scripts, completion states and audio cues turn isolated VR mechanics into a coherent application workflow.
What practical VR experience will you build?
Project Outcome: Learners work through an interactive VR assembly environment containing grabbable components, spatial UI panels, instructional states, object matching, visual feedback and audio.
Spatial VR Interface
Build start, instruction, description, game-over, restart and quit interfaces inside the VR environment.
Grab & Assembly Interaction
Configure colliders, XR Grab Interactable, tags, outlines and trigger behaviour for assembly components.
Logic & Immersive Audio
Connect matching logic, completion states, voice-over and action audio to the interactive workflow.

What does a learner say about the VR Foundation course?
“The Virtual Reality Foundation Course gave me a solid start in immersive technology. I learned how VR works, how to build basic VR environments using Unity, and how to implement user interactions in 3D space. The hands-on approach and real-time feedback from mentors made the learning process smooth and engaging. By the end of the course, I had built my first VR demo and felt excited to dive deeper into the field.”
