Augumented &
Virtual Reality
12 week Course Curriculum
Here’s a 3month “Basics of AR/VR (Augmented & Virtual Reality)” curriculum designed in the same structured way as weekly topics, monthly tests, assignments, and projects, aligned to 2026 industry standards and focused on beginner XR development, with strong emphasis on Unity, C#, 3D graphics basics, ARCore/ARKit, and mobile/head set ready apps.
Assumptions :
4–5 hours per day, 5 day weeks → 12 weeks ≈ 3 months.
Tools :
Unity 3D (LTS), C#, AR Foundation, ARCore (Android), ARKit (iOS), optional Unreal Engine for VR concepts, Blender (for basic 3D), Git, and a mobile device (or AR emulator).
Outcome :
Junior AR/VR Developer / XR Creator ready for mobile AR apps, simple VR experiences, and XR portfolio projects.
Overall Assessment Plan Weekly assignments :
Weekly assignments: 2–3 mini XR tasks (Unity scenes, AR lters, VR interactions).
Monthly tests: 1hour MCQ + short practical (e.g., “build a simple AR plane detector” or “add teleport in VR”).
Monthly projects: Endtoend AR/VR apps (from scene design to deployment).
