Thanks for the chapters 🙏
I‘m working since 2017 as a vr/ar-developer for a big company focus on industrial & military stuff and thats my advice for you guys:
1. choose a Gameengine (pref. Unity)
2. Learn coding (base on your choosen Engine). Your are doing most of the time „normal“ coding stuff.
3. Learn to use your engine (to know how to code != to know how to use the engine)
4. learn fundamentale stuff about UX
5. learn fundamentale stuff about 3D model (most of your performance issues comes from not optimized 3D Objects rather then bad coding)
This is amazing feedback and thanks for sharing this with the community, I love the 3D learning part which is so important !
how did you get this job in big company? I have 5 years experience, although mid level developer but cant find remote jobs easily..
@@HassaanALal To be honest it was pure coincidence 😅 Vr-Dev jobs are quite rare. So if a company offers those jobs, its mostly experimental.
I started by a company who offers maintance training/education software for the industry (for example: working on a oil platform).
I meet the company on a job-stand at my campus. They searched for a c# developer. When they found out, that i have unity & vr experience, they offered me a job as vr-developer. The company had over 200 member, but my vr-department had only the size of five people. Two years later i joined a big concern. They also searched for a „normal“ developer, but i know from the time in my last company, that they have a vr-department. So i tried my luck and got it. The concern is over 25.000 members big, but we are only 8 people 😅
@@chefcupcat3139 that's great, finding good VR companies here is nigh impossible, one more way to get noticed is working on open source
Hey hey, thanks you for feedback !! I have been studying VR/AR since 2019. I am currently looking for a job, please tell the name of your Company or names of Companies where you would recommend looking for a job
I would definitely sign up for your upcoming course, keep up the good work :)
Thank you Seif I will be announcing it next week much appreciated !
Hi Dilmer Thank you for doing this keep up the good work.
You are more than welcome and thank you for your feedback ❤️🙏
Dilmer, your contribution to the XR community is very much appreciated, keep up the good work.
Minas thank you for your kind comment and honestly I wish you the best in everything you do, have a great day !
Hi Dilimer , thanks for your videos , really a very good content :) i have a question related with hololens 2 : Can HoloLens 2 enforce a single instance of my app Or a solution to detect if an instance is open and close that instance before trying to open the app again? ( the issue that i have many windows for the same application )
thanks
Thanks for Dilmer's tutorial! Hope I can become a VR developer soon. BTW is there any series tutorial about prototyping a full VR/AR project?
Thanks for your feedback and yes I am working on it, my plan is to do it freely here and also as part of a course which I will announce this coming week.
Great video, keep doing it
Thank you for your feedback !
great work bro
Thanks man much appreciated !
Absolutely agree with @MinasKatsiokalis . Thank you Dilmer for doing this.
Brave Nick thanks a lot for your time and amazing feedback, I also wish you the BEST !
Can’t wait to see the future
Thank you and welcome to the future!
❤ty which Intel CPU is better for wireless VR MR and why
Hi Dilmer........I am just now starting my VR development path and loving every moment! Thank you for this great video. What are the demands for a bilingual developer. I speak both english and spanish and Im curious to know if that helps your chances even further of course along with doing the things you mentioned in the video. Thank you and keep it coming!
Honestly specific to tech there aren’t really many advantages other than the ability to communicate with more people, I say speaking two or more languages is always a plus, it has helped me a lot in my career and it indirectly helps you in your life.
Love this man, best content on learn AR/VR 💥💥💥
Thank you this is so kind 🙏
Great thx
Thank you and let me know if you have any questions 🙏
Hey :) The Oculus 3 is out. Did you have time to explore it ?
Do you know where we can find documentation or start point for the new feature of mixed reality ?
Everything about Q3 dev and other devices can be found at developer.oculus.com
Love it
Thank you I am glad you found it helpful!
Do you need a powerful laptop when dev on windows? Is dedicated GPU preferred?
Yes normally for a laptop I would try to get a gaming level type laptop for development.
First of all, thank you for this informative video. I'm a high school student from Korea who was planning to go to web dev/IT field... But, I've started to see a lot of people that are saying that those fields have become extremely populated recently and very hard to get a job due to huge lay-offs from big techs/AI replacements and stuff. So, I'm currently thinking of turning to AR/VR field since it look less populated than those fields and I'm also into programming, design, especially making my own stuff. What do you think of the job outlooks for the VR/AR field? Thank you so much!
미국에서 잡 찾으려 하시는 거면 기본에 충실하시면 됩니다. 아주 한국인스럽게 그냥 취직 잘되는 곳 찾으려 하는 것 같은데 뭘 하든 엔트리 레벨은 니 옆에 있는 사람보다 좋은 대학 가고 성적 잘 받고 나중에 인터뷰 잘하면 되는거임. 아직 대학교도 안 갔으니까 대학부터 좋은 곳 가고 3학년때부터 특정 필드 specific 프로젝트 채워도 늦지 않음. CMU MIT 같은 대학 가도 인터뷰 ㅈ같이 하면 안뽑아가니까 니 옆에 있는 사람보다 잘하는 걸 목표로 해야됨.
만약 한국이라면 엉아처럼 30살 먹고 미국 영주권 따고 순자산 15억에 매달 여행다니고 돈 펑펑써도 통장에 매달 2천 박히는 삶 살고 싶으면 미국으로 와서 일해야된다.
@@YoonPark-zu1ps 형님 감사합니다 현재 어디 직종에서 일하시는지 여쭤봐도될까요? ㅠ
Can we use Linux and VM a Windows if needed to be a WebXR developer?
It really depends what toolkit will you be using, learn about the tools you will use and that will drive your hardware needs. For instance: the 8th Wall is all web and JavaScript, in that case yes WebXR development can use any type of computer.
@@dilmerv thank you for taking the time to reply to me. If I can abuse, is there some community that you recommend someone that is aspiring to work in some VR, AR, XR area?
Which courses can one take to become a developer? If there are any, can you llease post links to such courses. Thank you.
Thanks my friend and honestly I am self taught and I learned by working with clients in solving various use cases over the years, also I am launching a new course during Christmas perhaps that could be of your interest !
@@dilmerv Waiting for your course
Awesome I will announce it in a few weeks !
Hey Dilmer, is this a good career path compared to generic unity developer?
I have a few questions:
1. Are there VR/AR/XR unity developer remote jobs high in demand whereas the candidates are less amount? (I call it job availability to worker availability ratio, e.g. React JS jobs are high in demand because a lot of businesses need such skill to keep their website maintained, while such skill workers are less in general).
2. Do you think a normal game developer who has worked with android games can get a job on AR VR XR unity development? Even though he does not have the equipment like Oculus etc? (me as an example, I have only used google cardboard on android phone)
1. Yes the company I worked for always needs people from all levels, I also know of others consistently looking for WebXR and Unity knowledge.
2. This one is tricky, it depends on the job needed, but to be honest I didn’t accept a lot of candidates because they didn’t have knowledge about XR, I would say having the game dev knowledge is huge but also having exposure or a few prototypes with XR is even better.
How would you know if you are a test subject
IF I want to become a VR developer using Mac OSI need to purchase a Mac 0S system first… Boy, I’m sure glad I watched this how to video before I made any major life decisions. This was definitely not a complete waste of my time! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the sarcasm there, this was meant to let you know what hardware and software you can use to get into VR, definitely not meant to make you a VR developer as that could be with a variety of ways ( as a game dev, as a mobile dev, etc ) and then using that knowledge to get started with VR.
Also the Mac part was meant for AR as many of the experiences built today with AR do require a macOS system for deployment purposes.
What about WebXR ?
Definitely a huge part of someone’s learning path, I will dive more into this on a future video, thanks for your feedback !
@@dilmerv Thank you. As a web developer I want to learn WebXR, Many clients asked for AR Try for their ecommerce app, Currently we're using 3rd party plugins
AR is the future.
Couldn’t agree more 🙏🚀
Apple Vision Pro is out and it's the right time to dive into the future lessgo
I couldn’t agree more, very excited to see new people joining this medium 🥳🙏
