How to Make a Virtual Reality Game in Unity

How to Make a VR Game in Unity 6.2 is a beginner-friendly pathway that introduces learners to building virtual reality games from scratch in Unity 6.2 using the Unity XR Interaction Toolkit. Students learn to set up a VR player rig, read input from XR controllers, and implement locomotion through continuous movement and teleportation. From there, students learn to grab and manipulate objects using Direct and Socket interactors, before finishing with Ray and Poke interactors for building interactive VR user interfaces.
