Korshub's take

Overview

This course frames XR (extended reality) design as a career transition, not just a new toolset. Taught by a UX designer who made the shift from 2D interfaces to spatial computing, it walks through the reasoning and mindset shifts involved in designing for VR and mixed reality rather than flat screens.

Who it's for

Practicing or aspiring UX designers curious about spatial computing, team members joining an XR project, and business leaders who plan to commission an XR experience but want enough grounding to evaluate the work.

Key takeaways

A grounded look at what "the Metaverse" and the XR spectrum actually mean
13 short video lessons (56 minutes total) built around the instructor's own transition story
An optional exercise for crafting your own XR career narrative
Over 40 supplementary resources, including a self-assessment workbook for XR UX skills

Bottom line: a compact, personal-experience-driven primer for anyone deciding whether to move into XR design.
