Overview
The Introduction to Augmented and Virtual Reality course by TimesPro is a self-paced programme that equips learners with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to work with AR and VR technologies. Using Unity as the primary development platform, the course takes learners from understanding what AR, VR, and mixed reality are — including their history, hardware, and software — through to building their own interactive VR application. The programme covers the Unity editor, 3D models, materials, textures, lighting, cameras, prefabs, and user interfaces, making it a well-rounded introduction to the tools and techniques used by AR/VR developers. The curriculum also examines real-world applications of these technologies across gaming, education, healthcare, training, and other industries, as well as ethical considerations and future trends in the field.
Why Technology & Analytics?
AR and VR are among the most rapidly growing technology domains, with adoption accelerating across industries from healthcare and education to gaming, retail, and enterprise training. This course offers an affordable and accessible entry point into a field where skilled practitioners are increasingly in demand. The use of Unity — the industry-standard platform for AR/VR development — means the skills gained are directly applicable in professional settings. The practical focus of the curriculum, culminating in building an actual 6 DoF VR application, ensures learners have tangible project experience to demonstrate to employers. The self-paced format and competitive price point make this an attractive option for learners at any stage of their career.

Curriculum
The curriculum spans four modules that build progressively from conceptual foundations to hands-on application development. Module 1, Introduction to AR/VR in Unity, covers the definitions and distinctions between AR, VR, and mixed reality, the history and modern landscape of these technologies, hardware and software fundamentals, interaction principles, AR Foundation setup in Unity, the Unity editor interface, 3D models, materials, textures, lighting, cameras, prefabs, and user interfaces. Module 2, Unity Basics, deepens the learner's working knowledge of the Unity platform. Module 3 guides learners through the complete build of a six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DoF) interactive VR application — the practical centrepiece of the course. Module 4 presents worked examples to consolidate and extend the skills developed across the programme.
There are 4 semesters in this course
Module 1, Introduction to AR/VR in Unity, is the most expansive module and covers the theoretical and practical foundations of the entire course. It opens with a thorough introduction to mixed reality, defining and differentiating virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, and contextualising these technologies through their history and modern applications. Hardware, software, and interaction fundamentals are then addressed, giving learners a clear picture of the ecosystem they are working within. The module moves into AR Foundation — covering what it is, how to set it up, and how to import the package into Unity — before introducing the Unity 3D environment, including navigating the editor and the scene view. Subsequent sections cover 3D models, materials, and textures in both theory and practical exercises, the types of lights and camera anatomy, the use of layers, prefabs basics and working with prefabs, and the Canvas and UI elements in Unity. Module 2, Unity Basics, builds on this foundation with deeper coverage of Unity's core tools and workflows. Module 3, Build your 6 DoF Interaction VR Application, is the hands-on centrepiece of the course, guiding learners step by step through designing and building a complete interactive VR application with six degrees of freedom — providing real project experience directly applicable in professional AR/VR development contexts. Module 4, Examples, presents practical worked examples that consolidate skills from across all previous modules.
