Week 4
Virtual Reality Fundamentals
Welcome to the AssetWatcher Virtual Reality Hub. This learning path explains how VR replaces the physical environment with fully immersive digital spaces. You will explore how headsets display stereoscopic views, how sensors track movement, how software renders virtual worlds, and how developers optimise experiences for comfort and performance.
This section also connects VR theory to real development workflows. You will examine VR hardware, platform ecosystems, Unity and Unreal Engine pipelines, headset deployment, and the practical decisions needed to build stable, responsive and professional immersive applications.
