VR Projects – Third-Person Platformer Game

In this course we’ll adapt the platformer game we built when learning the basics of Unity into VR. This will introduce several challenges we’ll have to solve, such as modifying the home and game over screens so that they are suitable for VR. The player mechanics and HUD will be modified. Also, we’ll cover how to map buttons in an external gamepad (we’ll use the Xbox 360 controller, but the skills are applicable to any gamepad), and how to manually trigger events in the Unity VR Standard Assets.

Learning goals:

Adapting an existing 3D platformer game to VR
Adaptation of UI screens and HUD
Changes to the platformer mechanics and “cursor key” type of movement
Mapping buttons for the Xbox 360 controller and other gamepads
Manually triggering events in the VR Input class so that we can utilize it with any external device (making our games and your skills future-proof)
