Developing XR Experiences with Passthrough XR Bootcamp 2023-01-23 | 🥽 New passthrough features have now made the dream of bridging physical and virtual worlds possible. Learn from devs on how to use passthrough🔘Why Passthrough?Passthrough can be helpful for various purposes, such as helping users maintain a sense of spatial awareness and avoiding collisions or other hazards while using VR. The improved passthrough feature of next-generation headsets, such as Meta Quest Pro, Pico 4, and Vive XR Elite, has finally made the dream of seamlessly bridging the physical and virtual worlds possible. Passthrough creates new potential in gameplay design and improves the UX of productivity and creative XR apps. In combination with scene understanding, passthrough has expanded the role of VR headsets into AR glasses, allowing them to transit anywhere between AR and VR in the same experience.However, working with passthrough technology can present challenges for VR developers, such as latency, limited field of view, and interference from real-world objects. 💻Overview of presentation:In this workshop, we will talk about examples of passthrough interactions, including configurable passthrough, responsive passthrough, and context-aware passthrough, and how they can be used to create enriched XR experiences. In addition, we will share resources to help you find inspirations and supporting tools needed for integrating passthrough into XR prototypes.1) Current and future states of passthroughPassthrough creates a paradigm shift in XR design. Learn what passthrough-related features popular headsets support and what will soon be possible in the coming months.2) Different blending and interaction patterns for passthroughPassthrough is more than simply displaying a live camera stream. Learn what blending is possible with passthrough and what interactions can be used to control the blending.3) Uses cases in XR Games and ApplicationsThe use cases of passthrough go beyond safety and convenience. Learn how passthrough may be utilized in different games and applications.4) Developing for passthroughPassthrough works differently from traditional virtual materials and textures. Learn how passthrough can be implemented using Unity's compositing and shading methods.5) ResourcesPeople have started creating excellent tools and demos for passthrough. Learn where you can find more inspiration and tooling support.💡Takeaways for the audience:►Learn about different design patterns for passthrough interactions►Get inspired by different use cases and demos of passthrough►Get tips on designing XR experiences for passthrough►Learn about the resources available for creating passthrough experiences📣Speakers:Daisy Chen is a UX and XR designer and HCI researcher focusing on collaboration tools, the future of work, and inclusive design. She has years of experience in XR as a designer and researcher, including VR film, VR collaboration tools, and novel interactions between XR and tangible interfaces. Her most recent project, Limino, proposes and investigates the different interaction patterns and use cases of passthrough XR. Billy Kwok is a creative technologist and product designer specializing in prototyping new experiences with emerging technologies. His work in XR spans different platforms, including OpenXR, WebXR, WebGL, Vulforia, and SparkAR.

Are You Stuck in Unity VR? How to Troubleshoot and Fix any Code Error! XR Bootcamp 2022-08-10 | 👨💻 Compile, run-time, or logic errors?! There are several things that could go wrong when running your own Unity game. XR Bootcamp Instructor Ian Berget walks you through the process of where to look for answers, find out what's going on, and what might go wrong.💡 Unity Troubleshooting Tips:1. Save your error messages for search terms2. Remove project-specific keywords3. Start with official documentation for errors and methods4. Check multiple Stack Overflow answers, the more recent the better!5. Add breakpoints before code triggering error messages. The real issue might be much earlier.6. Use two breakpoints if the execution order isn't clear. Check which breaks first.7. Valid code isn't always correct. When there's no error message you need to discover the issue yourself.8. Rubber duck debugging: Explain your code to whoever will listen aloud. You'll spot your own errors even if your audience doesn't.---👉 About XR Bootcamp:XR Bootcamp is a global online academy, offering beginner to advanced-level VR/AR Master Classes and Bootcamps.www.xrbootcamp.com---👋Join the XR Creators Discord discord.gg/38THNzEh4P If you have questions, feel free to join the server and connect with the community.
