1. What kind of lab is it?
Created in response to the need for longer-term development vehicles, VR Lab is a hands-on maker space. While a hackathon can be an effective sprint, the VR Lab offers creators more time to develop VR applications and experiences.
2. What equipment do I have access to?
We expect most lab participants to bring their own gear. We aim to have a variety of headsets and other VR tools (e.g. Leap Motion kits) on hand. You will need a laptop.
3. What software do I use?
We recommend that you download Unity 5 personal edition. It's free. To learn the software, Unity has provided tutorials, documentation and live training. Visit Learn with Unity.
4. How do I join a team?
We encourage you to form a team before signing up for the lab. However, if you don't have team, we'll conduct an informal pre-lab meet-up. During that time, you can identify collaborators and a team. In addition, once you register, we'll send you a Slack invite. Please join Slack to meet other lab participants, form teams, share tech tips and inspirational articles and get feedback on your project. Your team can also form a private communication channel during the lab.
5. Do we get API decks to work with?
Currently, we have the Leap Motion API deck to distribute.
If you have other questions, shoot us a mail at [email protected].
