Multiplayer Virtual Reality (VR) Development With Unity

!!! JUST UPDATED WITH UNITY 2020.3 LTS !!! (Lectures now in 1080p)

Dive into the exciting world of Multiplayer VR Development with Udemy's first comprehensive course! Virtual Reality is rapidly evolving, offering new ways to connect and interact. This course explores the potential of social VR and how multiplayer capabilities are transforming virtual experiences. Learn to build immersive virtual worlds where you can meet and communicate with others in ways impossible in the real world.

We'll guide you through the entire process of creating a Multiplayer VR project from scratch using the latest tools. You'll leverage Unity's powerful XR Interaction Toolkit for a robust Virtual Reality solution, and the Photon- PUN 2 asset for seamless multiplayer implementation. Plus, access a library of helpful Game Assets to accelerate your development.

In this course, you will master:

• Unity Project Configuration for Oculus Quest: Learn to set up your Unity project specifically for the Oculus Quest using the new XR Interaction Toolkit (based on Unity 2019.4 and updated for 2020.3 LTS).
• VR Keyboard Implementation: Enable intuitive text input within your VR environment.
• Server Connection & Player Identification: Establish reliable connections to game servers and uniquely identify players.
• Virtual Room Navigation: Implement a smooth joining virtual rooms system.
• Avatar Selection System: Allow players to customize their in-world representation.
• Full Multiplayer VR Synchronization: Achieve precise multiplayer VR synchronization for head, hand, and body movements.
• Multiplayer VR Movement Synchronization: Implement synchronized multiplayer VR movement using both teleportation and joystick controls.
• Voice Chat for VR: Integrate voice chat functionality for enhanced social interaction.
• Editor Scripting for Multiplayer Testing: Utilize editor scripting for efficient testing with a single headset.

This course is primarily tested with the Oculus Quest, but it is designed to be compatible with Oculus Rift and Rift S thanks to Unity's cross-platform capabilities with the XR Interaction Toolkit. We also include a special lecture on setting up your project for SteamVR (OpenVR), although it's not officially supported by the XR Interaction Toolkit yet.

Bonus: Even without a VR-ready PC, we'll show you how to easily test your VR projects using simulation methods.

Join us and become a pioneer in building the next generation of virtual worlds! Let's create the future of social interaction together.
