VR Development & AI Integration Program

We're bridging the gap between game development and emerging tech. This isn't about watching tutorials. You'll spend six months building real VR experiences while learning how AI can enhance interactive content. The program combines practical Unity development with hands-on machine learning applications.

How the Program Works

Six months of structured learning. Each phase builds on what came before, moving from fundamentals through to portfolio-ready projects you can actually show potential employers.

PHASE 01

Foundation Sprint

Start with Unity fundamentals and C# programming. We cover 3D mathematics, physics systems, and basic VR concepts. You'll build your first interactive environment by week four.

Weeks 1-6
PHASE 02

VR Development Core

Dive into XR Interaction Toolkit and spatial computing. Learn locomotion systems, hand tracking, and performance optimization for VR headsets. This phase includes building three mini-projects.

Weeks 7-12
PHASE 03

AI Integration Module

Explore machine learning basics and Unity ML-Agents. You'll implement NPC behavior systems, procedural content generation, and natural language processing for interactive characters.

Weeks 13-18
PHASE 04

Capstone Development

Design and build your final project with mentor guidance. Choose between a VR training simulation, an AI-enhanced game mechanic, or an interactive experience that combines both technologies.

Weeks 19-24

Learning Through Building

Theory gets boring fast. That's why you'll spend most of your time actually creating things. Each week includes new challenges that push your skills forward.

  • Weekly project assignments with clear objectives and deadlines
  • Code reviews from developers working in VR and game studios
  • Live problem-solving sessions where we debug together
  • Access to project templates and starter code repositories
  • Peer collaboration channels for sharing solutions and insights
  • Monthly tech talks featuring guest developers from the industry

Your Project Timeline

Each project serves a specific purpose in your development. Early ones focus on specific skills. Later projects give you more creative freedom and complexity.

VR Interaction Lab

Build a physics sandbox where users can grab, throw, and manipulate objects. Implement teleportation and continuous movement systems. Learn optimization techniques for maintaining frame rate.

Escape Room Experience

Design a multi-room puzzle game with interactive objects and environmental storytelling. Implement save systems and spatial audio. Focus on user testing and iterative design improvements.

AI Companion System

Create NPCs that respond to player actions using behavior trees and ML-Agents. Train agents to navigate environments and react to player proximity. Integrate voice recognition for basic commands.

Final Portfolio Piece

Your capstone project showcases everything you've learned. Whether it's a training simulation, an innovative game mechanic, or an experimental art piece, this becomes the centerpiece of your portfolio.
