Virtual Reality - Oculus Rift + Unity

You've heard about the Oculus Rift – But did you know that with pretty basic Unity knowledge you can create an out-of-the box virtual reality experience? In this hands-on class, we'll show you how to get started. 

We'll start off by helping you get set up with Unity and the Oculus Rift. We will show you where to get the necessary tools, and teach you best practices for building a compelling VR game. This will include going through code samples and sample files to get your project started. Once everyone is set up, you'll practice building a space in Unity that can then be explored with the Oculus Rift. We'll conclude with a thorough Q&A to make sure you have what you need to build your own Oculus adventure. Some Unity experience will help you get the most out of this class, but all are welcome.

Required Materials
You'll need to bring a laptop with Unity 5 or higher installed as well as a free Oculus Rift account. Download Unity for free here. Sign up for an Oculus Rift account here. Feel free to bring your own Oculus Rift if you have one, but we'll have some on hand. The more, the merrier.
