I.       Overview:

Virtual Reality is one of the most exciting experiences that technology can give us. The immersion and presence you can have in VR is quite unlike any other medium. Like many others, you're excited about the possibilities of this new medium and want to get started developing your own VR experiences. This race will take you through the steps you need to create a VR game or other project.

This is the final course in our Specialization: Virtual Reality. The previous races teach you the skills you need to make a VR game. This course brings you to a project of your own.

We will guide you through the steps of a project: coming up with an idea, storyboarding, prototyping, testing and implementation. By the end of this race you have a complete VR project that demonstrates your skills and the first step in creating a professional game.

 We hope this is your entry into professional VR development. To help you get started, some good advice always helps. That's why we've interviewed VR experts from all over the world, ranging from technology pioneers to over 30 years VR experience. We have asked you all for their advice and we hope it will inspire you to become part of the future of VR.
