Participants will use Meta Quest headsets to build and prototype environments for a race game template with flight mechanics. They'll learn core concepts of VR development, environment design, and asset creation, culminating in a showcase of their playable prototype. Week 1: Welcome & Intro to VR Development - Icebreakers and camp goals - Overview of VR: What makes VR different? - Meta Quest Intro and hardware review (First Step Apps if needed) - Learn movement, scaling with primitive shapes in VR Week 2: Exploring the Template Game - Breakdown of the provided racing game template (project tour) - Understand core components: track, checkpoints, collisions - Play and tweak the template in headset - Think of your own race theme (e.g. cyberpunk, forest, desert) Week 3: Map & Track Design - Learn how to design and edit terrain or track paths - Work in small groups to sketch or prototype custom maps - Begin building your own race track layout - Add elevation or obstacles to your track Week 4: Asset Textures & Lighting - Texturing Models and custom lighting - Create custom props (barriers, decorations) - Use glowing objects for lighting and experiment with dynamic light - Create 1–2 unique objects for your environment Week 5: Environment & Lighting - Build out your environment: skyboxes, lighting, fog, ambient sounds - Learn about performance in VR and how to optimize - Test in headset and iterate - Finalize your race setting (visual theme) Week 6: Adjusting Scripts & Physics - Reviewing physics options on object properties - Simple mechanic changes to existing throwable objects - Sound integration (engine sounds, background music) - Record or source 1–2 sound effects Week 7: Playtesting & Feedback - Peer playtest session in VR - Collect feedback and identify issues - Polish: bug fixes, visual tweaks, UX improvements - Finalize your game for the showcase Week 8: Showcase & Celebration - Final game demos in VR & celebration
