Designing 3D Mixed Reality Scenes with Unity

Mixed reality is transforming how we interact with digital content, but creating believable spatial environments requires a solid grasp of 3D scene design. This text-based course introduces you to the core workflows of building immersive scenes from scratch. You will transition from understanding basic 3D space to configuring interactive terrain, integrating spatial mapping data, and optimizing your project for mixed reality hardware. By studying structured explanations and step-by-step configuration examples, you will gain the confidence to build your own spatial applications. What you will learn: 1. Understand foundational mixed reality concepts, coordinate systems, and spatial design principles. 2. Navigate the Unity interface and configure project settings for modern OpenXR standards. 3. Build 3D environments using static terrain tools and external spatial mapping data. 4. Implement modern input systems to support hands-free and controller-based interactions. 5. Optimize scene performance and draw calls for standalone mixed reality headsets. 6. Configure and build your Unity project for deployment to mixed reality devices. The course begins with essential terminology and interface navigation before moving into hands-on scene creation, terrain configuration, and device deployment. You will read through practical design patterns and configuration snippets to solidify your understanding. This course is designed for absolute beginners to Unity and spatial computing, with no prior mixed reality experience required.
