Virtual reality (VR) is the application of computer technology to create simulated environments. VR developers can help you create VR environments for a variety of applications including video games.
Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in VR professionals:
Virtual reality
3D design, modeling, and animation
Programming language (e.g., C++, C#)
3D-rendering engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal, Google VR SDK)
VR programmers write the code for cutting-edge game development. VR, in which a player puts on a headset or goggles and had the sensation of actually stepping into another world, offers a deeper sense of immersion than video games.
The two top programming languages for VR applications are C# and C/C++.
the three go-to platforms—OculusVR, Gear VR, and Cardboard VR—as well as several VR development environments, programming tools, and techniques.
- VR basics for UI design, 3D graphics, and stereo rendering
- Unity3D,
- Create native applications for desktop computers with the Oculus Rift
- Develop mobile applications for Samsung’s Gear VR with the Android and Oculus Mobile SDKs
- Build browser-based applications with the WebVR Javascript API and WebGL
- Create simple and affordable mobile apps for any smartphone with Google’s Cardboard VR
- Bring everything together to build a 360-degree panoramic photo viewer
