Learn Virtual Reality at These 11 Virtual Reality Bootcamps

As the lone UI Designer in a small company, I was so happy to find Cyber Patio. They worked with me to tailor a 1-on-1 course that perfectly met all my needs (including workflow, better UX/UI practices, and design systems) and found me the perfect tutor. I'll be going back for another round soon!

Unlike many other courses I've taken, this was a far more intimate and catered experience, allowing me to be more proactive in my learning and project work. The course provides an in-depth dive into the product field, while examining real world examples and experiences. There is a lot of consideration into your own career path throughout, and they are committed to helping you reach your goals.

I've been slowly teaching myself to code over the years. 
Then slowly learning game development online with a Udemy course. 
This last fall I decided to really commit to being a builder in the coming Metaverse. I wanted to learn how to actually start working on my own ideas.
At first I was over my head. The pace of the course was crazy, I was learning so much, I was overwhelmed. 
But a few weeks in things started to click.
By the end of the course I surprised myself with what I was able to create for the final project. 
I'm no longer a wannabe VR developer, now I am a VR developer. I still have a long ways to go, but as a developer, not a wannabe developer. :) Thank you XR Terra

I loved this program. Each week covered an important topic in AR/VR development within Unity.  It really covered a lot of ground in the seven months. And we walked away with a couple of smaller projects but most importantly a Capstone project which really gave me a lot of confidence to feel ready to enter the job market in this field. A lot of the coursework was also applicable to Unity development in general, for example there were weeks on lighting within the URP and HDRP, using the profiler for optimization.  And a great general but somewhat detailed overview of 3d graphic pipelines. The user input stuff was of course specific to xr since we were building to the Oculus Quest 2 for most of the course.  The first few months were a little bit lighter in load. I had a little bit of experience in Unity so that helped a lot with the first few weeks.  Once we switched into programming for VR hand interaction it felt like the programming went up a notch.  Which for me was good because then I had to go back and review and level up on my c# programming on my own to be able to debug if need be.
We had a variety of great NYU faculty each teaching the different sections. And it was also very helpful having the live sessions weekly.  There was also a lot of career help throughout and industry mentorship. 

 The biggest point I want to make is this course is really what you put into it.  I was lucky enough to be able to work on this full time which for my background felt good to be able to really put the time in to fully work through everything we were learning which was a lot. Other classmates in the program were working full time jobs in addition to the coursework and that seemed totally do-able for them. I guess it depends on your background and what you are hoping to get out of the program.  Before I started the program I had only a beginner hobbyist  level of skill in Unity (I had made one 2-d game following a tutorial) and no other technical background besides a bit of blender etc.  by the end of the program I was able to obtain an entry level tech position at an XR agency and I’m so happy about that. I love my new job. And I would not have been able to do this career change without this program. We also had some learners in the program who already had professional engineering roles and wanted to add xr dev to their toolset so it was a good mix of learners and we were all able to help out and contribute and have different takes and create different xr projects from this program that aligned with their professional goals.
