AR / VR Development

Build immersive Augmented and Virtual Reality apps for Headsets & Mobile.

Build immersive Augmented and Virtual Reality experiences for Apple Vision, Meta Quest, and mobile devices.

Estimated Time: 6-10 Months

Starting Salary: ₹5L - ₹20L+ per annum

Quick Overview

3D Basics

Unity / Unreal Engine
Spatial Math & Vectors
C# / C++ Scripting
Lighting & Materials

Virtual Reality (VR)

XR Interaction Toolkit
Locomotion & Teleport
Hand Tracking
Performance Optimization

Augmented Reality (AR)

AR Foundation
Plane Detection
Image & Object Tracking
Mobile AR Deploy

Advanced Tech

Mixed Reality (Passthrough)
Multiplayer Workspaces
Spatial Audio
Publishing (Meta/Apple)

Pro Tips for Success

Start small. Physics and 3D interactions in XR can get confusing fast.
Focus heavily on performance. Less than 60 FPS in VR causes extreme motion sickness.
