AR & VR Developer

I've been slowly teaching myself to code over the years. Then slowly learning game development online with a Udemy course. This last fall I decided to really commit to being a builder in the coming Metaverse. I wanted to learn how to actually start working on my own ideas.At first I was over my head. The pace of the course was crazy, I was learning so much, I was overwhelmed. But a few weeks in things started to click.By the end of the course I surprised myself with what I was able to create for the final project. I'm no longer a wannabe VR developer, now I am a VR developer. I still have a long ways to go, but as a developer, not a wannabe developer. :) Thank you XR Terra

I was always very interested in AR/VR and decided to take a XR boot camp. I'm really happy I ended up taking XRTerra's Developers Bootcamp. I have a design background but wanted to push myself more into the developers role. The teachers were extremely helpful and always available to talk. They allowed me to bring in my Design background into every project as well as learning more of the developers/engineering side of AR/VR. The course provides all the necessary materials and people for you to succeed. What I learned is that you will gain as much as you put into the course. If you work hard you will learn so much! But if you slack off and try to sneak by (as I saw with some students) you won't learn as much or have a cool project to put into your portfolio, so make sure to stay focused and ask for help!  I put in a LOT of work to build my resume and portfolio and was able to get a job in the XR industry after the boot camp and am really loving my job.

Amazing network opportunities and caring instructors. Great experience! If you are interested in the XR industry, definitely recommend.

I took this boot camp in the summer of 2020 as a way to expose myself to XR and determine if I wanted to pursue it as a career. The lectures were easy to follow along, and Jonathan provided great explanations of what different lines of code meant. He shared his screen to show the entire development process of the applications from start to end, which made it easy for us Unity newbies to follow along and get the hang of Unity. After the first few assignments, we received less "hand-holding" guidance so that we were using the skills we had learned so far in creating our projects. All the assets were provided to us, which left us just to do the coding and general scene set-up. After the first 6 weeks of lectures, we started industry projects. There was a 3 week VR project and a 3 week AR project. I felt very ready to tackle the VR project and enjoyed having to complete the entire project cycle, including sourcing assets. The projects were not, however, actually commissioned for use by an industry partner. They were just projects that industry partners were interested in. The AR project was much more challenging, as there had not been much focus in the class on setting up for AR and app development. It involved much more time out of class to learn the tech involved in making the project work. If you are interested in learning Unity and how to build apps for VR, this class is definitely for you. I think you will need a little more background knowledge of app development if you are interested in taking this class for AR. Overall, well worth the money, and I am happy I took the class. The career services provided with the class are amazing and stretch beyond the 12 week class, as XRTerra provides contact information and a general XR community via Slack.
