The right VR/AR tools help you create engaging content and deploy it across all headsets, boosting your ROI and reach. By understanding your project’s scope, you can identify the best tools for your goals.
Game engines are ideal for creating VR experiences because they provide the tools to build 3D worlds and script all interactions. The industry leaders are Unity, which is user-friendly and uses C#, and Unreal Engine, which offers superior graphical capabilities but requires learning a complex programming language.
AR/VR Interaction Designer: This type of developer is responsible for designing interactive and immersive user interactions, including gestures, voice control, spatial interfaces, and more. They use 3D animation and modeling tools like Maya or Blender to produce their work.
Mobile AR/VR Developer: These developers specialize in augmented reality on smartphones and tablets, developing ARKit or ARCore apps for iOS or Android devices. They also develop cross-platform web-based AR/VR applications with frameworks like PlayCanvas and Amazon Sumerian.
Virtual Training: Virtual environments can offer realistic simulations for training without the risk of physical harm. Architects use VR to design homes, while firefighters and soldiers train in safe, virtual environments to prepare for hazardous situations.
Spatial analytics platforms allow you to measure and analyze user behavior within a VR environment, enabling you to improve your content and products. Cognitive 3D, for example, allows you to collect a wide variety of data from a user’s experience and connect it to an app to drive future decisions.
