I'm coming in with familiarity with web design/development. But if you're familiar with anything 2D, the great thing is a lot of stuff is really 2.5D-you're just placing something flat in the 3D space. So web knowledge has been helpful for putting UI system elements together whenever I need menus. Positioning things with an additional dimension is harder. Some positioning is taken care of, especially if you're anchoring to a wall/table/ceiling/floor. But it's challenging learning how to adjust things from there or to position things in free space. Objects can be positioned relative to different origins so another aspect to reason about. And I'm not familiar with the nuances so it's challenging to understand the units used for different functions across a few libraries. It seems sometimes it's in meters, others its just a scale to 1.0, etc.
Cool! Is vr stuff a ton harder or does the vision take care of the positioning stuff for you?
