Course Overview

This course equips students with the skills to design, build, and deploy immersive experiences across Extended Reality (XR) platforms. Learners will gain a strong understanding of the AR/VR development pipeline, from concept to deployment, while mastering industry-standard tools like Unity and Unreal Engine. They will create interactive 3D environments, integrate user interactions, and optimize for various platforms including WebXR, Android, and Oculus Quest. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze XR design constraints, structure scalable projects, and deliver a complete capstone XR application tailored to sectors like education, tourism, or simulation.

Key Learning Highlights
