Workshop Title: Professional VR App Development using Unity 3D Instructor: Dr. Jeyaprakash Chelladurai, Assistant Professor, East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, United States. North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong, Meghalaya, India
Overview: This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop professional VR apps using Unity 3D. The workshop will cover the basics of Unity 3D and how to set up a virtual reality environment, create 3D objects, manipulate them, and create 3D menus. Participants will also learn how to write C# scripts for more complex VR functionality, test their applications with real users, and avoid typical problems associated with VR applications.
Learning Objectives:
Audience: This workshop is intended for anyone interested in developing VR applications using Unity 3D, including developers, designers, and VR enthusiasts. Participants will need to bring a laptop with Unity 3D installed. Unity 3D can be downloaded for free from the Unity website. Additionally, participants should have a basic understanding of object oriented programming.
Duration: This workshop will be a full-day event, consisting of six hours of instruction, including lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises.
Agenda:
Conclusion: By the end of this workshop, participants will have the knowledge and skills necessary to develop professional VR apps using Unity 3D. They will have created a virtual reality environment and will have created 3D objects, menus, and input tools. Participants will also have the skills and knowledge necessary to continue learning Unity 3D on their own and to test and improve their VR applications for target users
About Cloud Computing: Over the past few years, cloud computing has become a dominating and transformative paradigm in information technology. It is now having an impact on a wide range of sectors, including government, finance, telecommunications, education, retail, energy and utilities, and transportation. A lot of research is being done in this area, which now includes virtualization, networking, storage, security, cloud service management, effective cloud designs, enormous multitenancy, and the creation of cloud applications and services. According to numerous surveys, cloud computing is still the way of the future. Especially since the COVID-19 Pandemic began, vast majority of organizations are using "Cloud First" policy. In 2020 alone, 61% of businesses migrated their workloads to the cloud. As of 2022, 94% of enterprises use cloud services.
About the Tutorial: This tutorial will give attendees experience in using AWS Cloud services. It will cover infrastructure components and platform services AWS EC2, S3, RDS etc. The tutorial will start with how to get started on AWS cloud platform and the attendees can perform the operations on their laptops. The tutorial will include various concepts around cloud computing and hands on experience of leveraging some of them on AWS. The tutorial will cover how to provision cloud infrastructure and how to best deploy application on it for an enterprise business. The tutorial will also include a section on the Docker and Container where attendees will see how to leverage them for real world application.
About the prospective attendee: BTech/MTech/PhD students of any engineering curriculum can benefit from this workshop. This tutorial has the potential to act as the starting point of leveraging cloud in different aspects of engineering. For undergraduate/Postgraduate students, this can be another skill which is good to have and a possible boost in the resume. This tutorial does not need any pre-requisite as such. Some knowledge of information technology infrastructure like server hardware, virtual machines and some basic networking concepts is preferred but not mandatory.
