This course introduces participants to working with Unreal Engine 5 (UE5), a software platform that allows developers to create immersive experiences with highly realistic 3D graphics. Leveraging UE5, course participants will learn how to import CAD models and develop an interactive, virtual reality (VR) application on the Meta Quest 3 headset. The course is intended to be a launching point for industry professionals who want to further explore developing immersive technology applications for business uses such as training, designing, marketing, and more. 

No coding experience or prior knowledge of Unreal Engine is required. All computer and VR headset equipment used for training will be provided. Course material will be taught through in-person instruction and corresponding hands-on learning activities. Lunch is provided each day during a one-hour lunch break.
