Learn Unreal VR with Udacity’s New Nanodegree Foundation Program
The Epic-approved course, which implements a learn-by-doing approach, provides hands-on experience from day one where participants will begin learning how to use Blueprints, Unreal’s powerful node-based, visual scripting language.
As participants proceed through the program, they’ll explore additional topics including audio and sound effect usage, plugins, animations, and performance optimization. They’ll even delve into additional topics like Oculus Audio plugin usage and VR design and interaction theory.
This Learn Unreal VR program is a Foundation program. Udacity’s Foundation programs are a specific type of Nanodegree program designed to enable a sampling of new areas of learning, enhance an existing skill set, move forward into deeper and more advanced academic studies, or prepare for a career move that requires a fuller understanding of certain technologies and concepts.
Given that Unreal Engine 4 is a widely used tool for VR creation, and is considered a “stackable” or “additive” skill that layers in a key competitive differentiator to existing skill sets, the goal of the program for Udacity is to ensure that those entering their next career phase in VR will have full possession of these valuable and in-demand skills.
