[Unreal Certified Instructor Direct Lecture] Developing VR Content with Unreal Engine 5 Without Coding

The XR and metaverse market that Apple and Meta entered, now joined by Google and Samsung..

Should we just sit back and watch?

The rapid changes in the content market require quick responses.

This course covers everything from how to connect Meta Quest 3 to Unreal Engine 5.4, files that need to be set up manually since the plugin isn't fully established yet, how to configure Meta's middleware and valid XR plugin settings within Unreal Engine, and what makes this course unique - the XR table tennis game development logic and packaging (app build) process.

As you take the course, you'll examine the principles of how Unreal Engine logic works on Meta Quest, and apply what you've learned to create your own projects. Through this process, you'll explore essential elements needed for XR content creation that can only be understood through experience, such as input/output in virtual reality, UI design based on the characteristics of XR devices like Meta Quest, and hand tracking I/O setup methods for manipulating virtual space with bare hands.

At the end of each course, challenge tasks are presented to apply what you've learned. Through these challenge tasks, you'll gain hands-on experience by directly using the knowledge acquired in each lecture.

Why sports games, especially table tennis, are the perfect choice for learning XR.

Because it allows you to experience the essence of XR development most intuitively—from interaction, physics, input control, to tunneling issue control—making it the optimal learning material.

Sports games, especially table tennis games, are the most ideal subject for learning XR content development. Table tennis is not simply a game of hitting and receiving a ball, but rather an optimal learning subject for XR as it utilizes all the core elements of XR including Interaction, Physics, and Input/Output device control.

1. Applying Physics Laws: Implement an immersive XR experience by applying real-world physics laws such as ball velocity, gravity, rebound force, friction, and collision.

   
   

2. Precise Input/Output (I/O) Data and Utilization: It requires a process of detecting and measuring fine movements such as hand tracking of motion controllers and paddle speed, and reflecting them in the game. Since table tennis games demand these conditions, through the experience of meeting these requirements, you can directly verify the operating mechanisms, possibilities, and limitations of XR devices.

3. Spatial Immersion: As the ball, racket, and player interact within space to progress the game, you learn natural user positioning and movement design sense along with immersive experiences.

   
   

4. System Integration Skills: By designing a sports game, you can directly experience how various technical elements—game logic, physics, graphics, input tracking, and even an AI ping pong bot—combine within a single game.

   
   

5. Visible feedback and sense of achievement: Users ultimately learn the rules and find enjoyment in content through an action->reward pattern. The same goes for us as developers. By creating clear results of hitting, bouncing, and scoring the ball, we can gain a definite sense of achievement that "the XR content I created works" and enjoyment from systemic rewards.

Therefore, even if you're not interested in sports or table tennis, a table tennis game serves as the optimal XR learning material and is the best way to enjoyably master the core concepts of XR content development.

From basics → hands-on practice → XR app build, the entire XR development process in one course!

Students will systematically learn the methods below and acquire only the essential technical knowledge related to XR development in a concise manner.

📚 Step-by-Step Practice

Stage 1: Mini-game Development
- Learn UI, interaction, and XR device considerations concisely through a brick-throwing XR game.

Step 2: Sports Game Development (Table Tennis)
The main mission of this course!

- Instantaneous wrist movement (angle)
- Logic development utilizing the racket's ball impact velocity
- Table tennis ball implementation considering the ball's friction coefficient and mass
- Opponent AI table tennis bot design

By focusing on the above points, we balance the physics laws of the real world with the characteristics of Meta Quest 3 and Unreal Engine to ultimately complete an XR table tennis game system.

🛠️ Hands-on XR App Development Experience

Students will gain hands-on development experience by assembling and applying the features they've learned, going beyond simple follow-along tutorials to create their own XR content.

🚀 Your Own XR App at the End of the Course!

Unlike other VR courses that simply connect XR programs developed on PC to Meta Quest for testing and stop there!

→ This course covers how to build (package) your project into a standalone XR app that can run independently on Meta Quest 3.

In theory, the built .apk file (XR app) can be submitted for review to the Meta Store, and once it passes the evaluation, the XR app will be released on the store. In other words, building and testing the developed content is essential for release, but XR content developed with Unreal has vastly different environments and conditions from PC or mobile, so without prior knowledge or experience, there are countless cases where builds fail with crashes and errors pouring out.

To help solve these problems, this course reveals the optimal XR app build recipe where the instructor personally tackled critical errors one by one to find and organize solutions! Just learning this properly will make the course fee worthwhile.

The features of this course

📌This is the most up-to-date XR content course taught directly by an Epic Games Unreal Authorized Instructor (UAI). All updated technologies, terminology, and features have been followed up on.

📌 Going beyond the limitations of current online/offline courses that only cover simple object design, functionality checks, or feature reimplementation, this course includes an XR sports game development process where you design comprehensive game logic.

📌 Turn the game you create into an XR app that launches with a touch.

📌 Learn hand tracking I/O supported by Meta Quest 3, Vision Pro, AR glasses, and more.

📌 Immediately apply the theories learned through the lectures. You can internalize knowledge through challenges assigned to each lecture.

After completing the course

• You'll be able to create XR apps that run independently on VR headsets (Meta Quest 3).

• You'll be able to freely design and develop XR content with Unreal Engine, and solve problems such as bugs.

• You'll be able to design content considering the hardware resources of Meta Quest rather than PC.

• You'll be able to experience and utilize methods of connecting the real world and virtual world through devices and software.

• You'll be able to naturally break down, design, and implement Unreal Engine logic for XR(VR/AR) content creation as naturally as breathing.

A taste of what's inside the course.

This XR development course is a long-term project that has been researched and developed for over 2 years since receiving the Meta Quest 3 as the first in Korea through pre-order. While conducting offline lectures at educational institutions including Hongik University, Sejong University, and the Chamber of Commerce, we have refined the course by integrating candid anonymous course evaluations from actual students with no prior connection and the knowledge, experience, and expertise of developers and professionals from various fields.However, we discovered that there are no comprehensive online courses that properly teach XR content development, and related technical materials and terminology frequently change or get updated, resulting in significantly low accessibility and reliability of technical knowledge. Moreover, while Meta and Unreal Engine are releasing new products almost daily, existing courses cannot keep up with that pace, leading to cases where necessary knowledge cannot be learned.As a result, there was a problem where even professionals had to spend considerable time and money to proceed with XR content creation projects using the latest devices, and we developed this online course to address this issue. Through this course, we aim to reduce the trial and error you would experience due to materials with unclear origins or outdated versions that no longer work, as well as the time and cost you would spend directly searching for related information, deciphering original languages and technical documents, and testing and verifying each element. We hope you can use this course, which is difficult to find anywhere domestically or internationally, as a stepping stone to climb higher and faster.
