Are you interested in the metaverse, Digital Twins, VR and AR headset and applications, and what the future of digital content creation looks like?
Unity was founded in 2004 and quickly became the leading development platform for mobile game development, as well as a leader in building games for PC and console. With the rise of VR and AR content, Unity also became the most common platform for building for the Metaverse, currently powering well over half of the existing VR and AR applications.
And we're not just talking about games. Developers using Unity’s latest tools and API’s can build Digital Twins which can include sophisticated simulation environment(s) that leverage real-time 3D graphics. A Digital Twin is a dynamic virtual copy of a physical asset, process, system or environment that looks like and behaves identically to its real-world counterpart.
This presentation - the second in the Building the Metaverse series hosted by the Charleston VR/AR Meet-up group - will provide a broad introduction to Unity, and help you connect the dots to learn how Unity is providing new tools to support developers in creating custom metaverse, digital twin and other 3D solutions. Whether you're interested in building digital worlds, entering a career as a full-time 3D developer or artist, or just wanting to learn what all the hype is about, this presentation will have something for everyone.
The presenters will include:
Russell Sng
Developer Advocate - Unity Gaming Services at Unity Technologies
Russel will be speaking about working with the XR Interaction toolkit for building VR and AR experiences, as well as the latest developments from Unity for building Digital Twins.
