The specialisation in Virtual Reality, offered by the University of London, is divided into 5 courses to guide participants interested in discovering the fundamentals of Virtual Reality (VR), as well as the hardware, its applications and the psychology behind a successful VR interaction. The online specialisation offers an opportunity to participants to gain key skills in the field and learn from top-level lectures and industry experts. Other topics covered include: the basics of 3D graphics and object creation, as well as layout of objects in a virtual environment. Upon the end of the 5 courses, learners will be able to create and develop their own game, based on VR technology.
