The Metaverse is on the horizon, and this is YOUR chance to kickstart your immersive XR journey! The biggest challenge in XR is taking the first step – understanding the required tools, configuring your setup, mastering controller usage, and programming virtual object interactions. Let’s conquer these hurdles together by creating our own XR applications with cutting-edge tools and libraries, such as Unity 2022, OpenXR, and the XR Interaction Toolkit!
