Take a deep dive into the world of audio for VR and AR games. The areas of Virtual and Augmented Reality are a fast growing field where technology is changing rapidly and where job openings are increasing. In this 8 week course you’ll get a thorough grounding in the latest up to date information on the field, where we will de-mystify the many terms and areas involved, plus you’ll get hands on experience designing and implementing spatialized and non-spatialized audio and music for a simple VR game using Unity and Steam Audio. The included game lesson, EagleDiveVR, will work without a VR device, but is also compatible with SteamVR capable headsets (such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Quest/Quest2 (via Link cable), and others).

You will need a Mac or PC computer capable of running the latest version of Unity, ZOOM and your preferred DAW. VR headset not required.
