Menus are very common and can have a significant effect on the gaming experience. A buggy or counter-intuitive menu can be very frustrating for players. It is important that we know how to build clean, intuitive user interfaces that work well. In this class, students will learn how to make an interactive menu in virtual reality (VR). Students will be introduced to the Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) user interface, where we will create an in-game menu with a simple interface. We will then learn how to place our menu in 3D world space and interact with our menu in VR. By the end of the class, students will create a custom menu and place it in their VR environment. They will be able to affect changes to objects in the environment, simply by pressing a button on the menu, e.g. highlighting certain object, make other object disappear, make some object interactive.

This “Advanced” course will focus on making custom interactions in VR, so students will be able to interact with hand tools, buttons, and levers, in addition to creating interactive VR menus. The course will require a lot of coding, so students should have a solid understanding of coding principles before taking the “Advanced” course. If a student does not have much experience with coding, it is highly recommend they take a Python development course beforehand.

Sometimes we are required to interact with objects that we cannot pick up, and who have very specific motions, e.g. a button is pressed down, a lever rotates, and a drawer is pulled out. How do we make those virtual interactions intuitive and realistic? In this class, students will learn how to interact with a variety of objects that only move on specific paths. We will cover how to lock the player's virtual hand to the object, and how to set thresholds to release the object when the player pulls their hand away. By the end of the class, students will be able to press a button, pull a lever up and down, and be able to open and close a desk drawer.

Think of how you hold a hammer and how that is different than how you hold a cup of coffee. The same is true in virtual reality (VR). If you pick up a drill and the drill is facing the wrong way, that would be useless, unnatural, and break the sense of immersion. How you pick up an object in VR is important. In this class, students will learn how to place an object in the hand in a specific orientation and location. We will explore the skeletal mesh editing system and create custom hand poses. We will learn how to trigger specific hand poses when specific objects are picked up, to make it look like our virtual hand is actually holding the virtual object. By the end of this class, students will be able to pick up several uniquely shaped hand tools and snap them into the correct orientation when they are picked up.

Once you pick up an object in VR, how do you put it back in place? In this class, students will learn how to "snap" objects back into place after picking them up. We will learn how to spawn a "ghost" object when we pick something up, how to create a collision event to trigger a snap, and how to "snap" the original object back to its original location. We will also cover how to adjust the thresholds, which will make the snap feature more or less sensitive. By the end of the class, students will be able to pick up an object in VR, see a faint outline of the object's original location, and "snap" the object back in its original location.

This “Advanced” course will focus on making custom interactions in VR, so students will be able to interact with hand tools, buttons, and levers, in addition to creating interactive VR menus.

What’s the point of doing virtual reality (VR) if we can’t interact with our environment? In this class, students will learn how to pick up objects in VR. We will go over two different systems for picking up objects, and discuss the advantages and limitations of each system. We will learn about the importance of visual, audio, and haptic cues, and how to add to those to our VR project. By the end of the class, students will be able to interact with any object in their scene. They will create a highlighting system that highlights objects when they are touched. Students will even add physics to their scene, so held objects can be dropped or even thrown across the virtual environment!

This “Advanced” course will focus on making custom interactions in VR, so students will be able to interact with hand tools, buttons, and levers, in addition to creating interactive VR menus.

When working with large CAD datasets, scripting redundant processes is essential to producing content in a timely manner. Additionally, being able to quickly reuse content from one project to another greatly reduces development time. In this class, students will learn how to greatly increase productivity by scripting repetitive or difficult tasks. Students will be introduced to Editor Utility Widgets and Editor Utility Blueprints, and learn when to use each. We will then learn how to create custom plugins from our assets, so we can easily reuse those assets in other projects. By the end of the class, students will have written several useful scripts that the instructor regularly uses for development, e.g. automatically center all geometry. Students will create several custom plugins, and learn how to import those plugins to other UE projects.
