I don't need this video, but I know there are lots of people who do, so I'm here to support it 😄 Great video as always Valem!
I was happy to see you recommending various CZcams and recourses for people to expand their skillsets! Espescially as a beginner, just knowing where to look/ what you need to know is a big confusion point where (good) recommendations go a long way!
I would find a video about the differences, pros/cons of the various VR SDK's (official and non-offical) as I feel that could help many people understand strengths and weaknesses of each, and which to use when deciding on their use case and type of project they're building.
My best tips for beginners:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• Keep your scope SMALL. We're dreamers, but when getting started it's much more important to achieve small tangible goals, (like making a shootable gun) rather than trying to make the next VRMMORPG right away! Set yourself up for success, not failure, by celebrating your success of small goals!
• On the same topic, try to experiment as much as possible! And soak up information like a sponge! Follow the amazing teachers in the VR space (such as Valem) and try to follow along, implement something he shows you how to do step by step, and then if you're feeling comfortable, try to improve it slightly! (Change the lighting, improve an interaction, make something more performant)
• Optimization is important, especially when targeting mobile headsets (Quest, etc), but as a beginner, you don't have the skills and knowledge to optimize properly, so in my opinion, don't focus on optimizing (it hurts me to say this, but I honestly feel like this is a good opinion), UNLESS you have a clear performance bottleneck (very low frame timing from a specific thing done in a poor way, this can be checked with the unity inspector!), Or if you are getting a game closer to a state of getting others to play it! (But as a beginner, you probably won't be doing this at the start anyways!)
• Continuing on the previous theme, move quick and break things! Don't be afraid to change things, and experiment! All of your risks, and experimentation, and failures, will benefit your learnings for the future!
• If you're concerned about breaking a project you're working on, Git (or other version control) is your friend! There is some overhead in learning how to use this, so I would avoid it as an absolute beginner, but if your are working on a project with multiple people, or have a project you need security in where you could revert to a previous version (a backup!) If something goes wrong, then definity look into this!
• If you're using a quest for development, you can use a wired link, or you can deploy your project via airlink/unity to test your game WIRELESSLY and keep your development->test iteration time/friction very low! You do NOT need to build to an APK for the quest each time you wish to test out a new change! (Please, if you take anything away, make sure you understand this)
• Join communities of other VR developers to keep you motivated, learning, and able to discuss issues you have! (P.S. Valem has a great discord community for this!)
These are awesome tips thank you. I'm pinning this comment !
Can you give me tips on AR as I'm a beginner!?
Gotta love how school taught me nothing about the subject i was genuinely interested in and infact shut me down to it. And now i go online and regain my love for it.
Fuck school, it’s a waste of time. Get the grades to go to university and skip classes as much as possible. School should be a place where one would get taught general knowledge and should be guided to find their passions and pursue them. Instead it’s a system where only grades matter and nothing else. You have then teens who finish high school and „don‘t know what to do next“. Sorry for the rant.
Lol for me I got punished for applying what I learned outside of school. Just because I got the job done xtimes better instead of using "80s" Java code 😂
@@timaden3916java was not released til 1995.
Got started on my first VR game, and you sir, are video number 1, thank you! Downloading my Unity Pro Licence as we speak, and will rewatch this video many times!
Great video. I had a go at some of your tutorials last year and was able to create some simple environments and interactions. This year I got busy and it fell off my radar. This video and a new PC have inspired me to try making something again.
Hey, thanks very much for listing my site as a source!
Great video and a perfect intro to VR dev, and great work for covering the hardware and software side in detail.
Dropped a sub, keep up the great work 😄

Thank you. I'm interested in starting my own projects for VR. A lot to take in, but a great new interest to get started with.
Thank you so much, I was just to give up about trying to create my own game with the vr, and you just answered all of my questions.
Thanks
Mahalo for the great tutorial! Total newbie to VR and looking forward to creating in it.
Good video to show to our new students starting this September.
It's hard to express how grateful I am, I was suffering from the oculus sdk recently until I saw this video of yours
Merci Valem!
Thank you very much!!! This video is so helpful for me
I got a lot of trouble using the XR toolkit with an index controller, so for that reason steam vr is a better option for me.
Thank you for the video!
Tnx man!
I'm beginner in English language, but your speech is very easy to understand.
Thanks for your help in this subject
This video is gold.
Valem i watch your videos since you barely had any subscribers. Love them all. Would you make videos how to do the same in Unreal Engine? They rip you off less at the end of the day if you make it big eventually with your game
Hey man! A sdk you showed, vr interaction framework, is a really great sdk although theres not much updated documentation. it'd be really sick if you made a video about it!
Well time to start
Please!!! Please!!! VRTK with SteamVR!! Please!!! Please!!
Great video! Which SDK would be the best for No-Code prototyping? Not developing for sure but for quick practices. I'm currently using VRIF
Oh my goodness, thank you for the shoutout!
Always a pleasure ! :D
Would love to see a tutorial on Hurricane VR setup and use in various scenarios. I couldn't find a good one searching CZcams.
I like the way you say engine
Thank you for making this good explanation. Now please don't ever use background music again in videos where you explain stuff - your accent is a bit hard to understand, and the music only makes it harder. But thanks again.
when you talk about the quest integration SDK is that demo w/ the red objects premade for experiments? or did you do it?
now is the best time to get into xr development...we are all on the enlightenment slope now
Please create a complete course on VR development using steam vr (HTC VIVE) , interactions, tracking hmd position, activation events when hmd interacts with virtual objects in scene .
I am new to VR. What PC configuration do you recommend for VR development?
Hi valem,just hope you can produce a video that guides vr developer to upgrade unity project to the latest one.i did my vr project in 2019.4 and i use the vr toolkit but its hard for me to upgrade it to the latest one because now unity use much more newer toolkit and alot of things need to be tweek 🤣
Thanks which CPU is better for wireless VR
Could you make some tutorials for unreal engine?
The course is great！Can I translate your course into Chinese on the Chinese platform?
Thank you inspector clousseau 😂
before this video: i want to learn VR development but don't know where to start
after this video: let's get this started
Hi, can I use VRIF and XR Interaction toolkit in the same project?
Can you develop a game for an Oculus Quest 2 on a mac?
VALEM PLEASE CAN YOU MAKE A TUTORIAL ON UNREAL Engine VR DEVELOPMENT.
Are the models available for purchase somewhere?
My teacher: Watch your pronunciation!
Me: 12:00
can you a tutorial on how to make a gun I NEED HELP!
Do you work in this area? I'm thinking of studying to work as AR designer but I'm afraid of not earning enough or not being able to do this job well because I'm not (yet I hope) super into coding. Can you give me some inside tips and comments on that?
Hi,
First of all.. ty al the tutorials.
about the steamvr sdk.. it doesn't work out of the box for unity 2022.3. so for beginners I cannot recomend :(
3rd viewer! 💪😁
How can I start without oculus and all
Cet accent, tu es francophone ?
It's so cool how good your english flow is but how extremely french your pronounciations are 😅

I don’t have a
engina
scrolled down to see marks comment and was disappointed, get better meta!
Pppppp
Awh, I would watch this if you spoke French. Maybe next time
