Developing VR Content with Unreal Engine 5 Without Coding

Following Apple and Meta, Google and Samsung also jump into the XR and metaverse market..

Should we just sit back and watch with our hands tied?

The rapid changes in the content market require quick responses as the solution.

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 plugins aren't fully established yet, how to configure Meta's middleware and valid XR plugin settings within Unreal Engine, and the unique feature of this course - XR table tennis game development logic and packaging (app build) process.

Students will examine how various Unreal Engine logic works on Meta Quest by following along with the lectures, understanding the underlying principles, and then apply what they've learned to create their own projects. Through this process, students will explore essential elements needed for XR content creation that can only be understood through hands-on experience, including input/output in virtual reality, UI design tailored to the characteristics of XR devices like Meta Quest, and hand tracking input/output (I/O) setup methods for manipulating virtual spaces with bare hands.

At the end of each course, challenge tasks are presented that apply what you've learned. Through these challenge tasks, you'll directly use and internalize the knowledge gained from each lecture.

Course content preview.

The goal of this course is to help students grow to be able to create XR content directly. To achieve this goal, we conduct hands-on production practice after students have built up all the foundational knowledge. The production practice process, divided into two stages including mini-game and sports game development, helps students assemble and apply the functions they have learned so far, enabling them to create their own creative content. Through the mini project of developing a brick-throwing XR game, you will concisely learn what elements are needed for complete game development, including UI considerations for XR devices. Once you are sufficiently prepared, you will proceed to the next stage, which is the main mission of this course: XR table tennis game development practice. As students create this table tennis game, they will experience the process of making a game system that considers all factors such as momentary wrist movements, racket movement speed and angle, and the friction coefficient and mass of the table tennis ball work consistently within virtual space, and designing that system to interact smoothly with real-world users through XR devices. To pass through this process, you will directly utilize all the functions learned earlier, and through this process, students will naturally acquire knowledge and know-how.

That's not where it ends after creating the XR game logic once. This course covers all the way to the stage of packaging (building) the sports game you created into an XR app. Through this, students will experience the entire process of implementing an XR app that operates independently on Meta Quest 3 devices, just like smartphone apps.

Features of This Course

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

📌 Beyond the limitations of current online/offline courses that only cover simple object design, functionality verification, or basic feature reimplementation, this course includes the XR sports game development process that involves designing comprehensive game logic.

📌 Create the games you've made into XR apps that run when touched.

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

After taking the course

• You can create XR apps that work independently on VR headsets (Meta Quest 3).

• You'll be able to freely design XR content with Unreal Engine and avoid errors or solve problems.

• You can design content considering the hardware resources of Meta Quest rather than PC.

• You can 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 as easily as breathing for XR (VR/AR) content creation.

Course preview.

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 for the first time in Korea through pre-order. Through conducting offline lectures at educational institutions including Hongik University, Sejong University, and the Chamber of Commerce, we have refined the course by consolidating honest anonymous course evaluations from actual students without any connections and the knowledge, experience, and technology of developers and experts from various fields.However, we discovered that there are no online courses that properly teach XR content development with completeness, and related technical materials and terminology frequently change or get updated, resulting in significantly low accessibility and reliability of technical knowledge. Moreover, while Meta, Unreal Engine, and others are releasing new products at a rapid pace, existing courses cannot keep up with that speed, leading to cases where necessary knowledge cannot be learned.Therefore, there was a problem where even experts had to spend considerable time and cost 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 time and cost that students interested in XR content development would spend directly searching for related information, deciphering original language and technical documents, and conducting individual testing and verification, as well as the trial and error you would experience due to materials with unclear origins or outdated versions that no longer work. We hope that you can use this course, which is difficult to find anywhere else domestically or internationally, as a stepping stone to climb faster and higher.
