Overview

Video Description

With the major release of Unreal Engine 4, Epic Games has registered its presence in the world of Virtual Reality. Following the release of such popular product launches as Oculus, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear, and more, VR has gained a lot of ground and is a booming industry today.

In this volume we are going to create a Shooter game in VR by learning variations in movement and interaction techniques and by creating dummy enemies. Next we explore how to create UI elements for VR games while learning about optimization techniques and where we can distribute our VR application. We will look at SDKs that support your preferred hardware, and the different engines that you can use to create Virtual Reality content while understanding their strengths and weaknesses. Moving on, you'll learn how to boost the performance of your VR apps by profiling, rendering, and setting up your VR kits. By the end, you will have created a VR game and developed a comprehensive VR experience using Unreal.

Style and Approach

This practical course will take you through setting up and running your preferred hardware (such as Oculus or Vive) and will further empower you to build your own Unreal Engine 4 VR game projects.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
