Virtual Reality

Overview

This beginner specialization introduces Virtual Reality from the ground up — the hardware (display devices, sensory systems), the design thinking (human-computer interaction, human factors, persona design), and the actual build process using the Unity engine. It's broader than a typical game-dev course, touching on VR's use in journalism, therapy, and applied research, but the technical core is building real virtual environments and applications. Over 43,000 learners have used it to start creating in a still-emerging medium.

Who it's for

Beginners curious about building VR applications or games — developers, designers, or anyone wanting hands-on experience with Unity and immersive design.

Key skills

• Virtual and augmented reality fundamentals
• Building virtual environments in Unity
