The Future of XR: Exploring VR/AR/MR Possibilities
Despite the overhyped buzzwords and mislabeling surrounding the "Metaverse," one thing is clear—XR technologies (VR/AR/MR) are set to become some of the most transformative tools of the future.
To start my journey into this exciting space, I built my first VR application: a VR Ball Pit for the Quest 2 headset.
Building with Unity: A Game-Changing Development Platform
I used the Unity development platform to create this application, and I can’t emphasize enough how incredible this tool is. Unity’s online tutorials are extensive, user-friendly, and customizable, enabling beginners to get started quickly and efficiently.
The result?
This proof-of-concept VR Ball Pit was built in just one day. The video below shows me exploring the space in my office—throwing my arms around and immersing myself in the environment.
This is just the beginning of my exploration into XR development. The potential for these technologies is vast, and I’m excited to keep building, learning, and contributing to the future of immersive experiences.
