SO MANY challenges when starting #VR DEVELOPMENT such as what are all the tools & what do they do?
THIS IS FOR YOU!
1- Start & learn to use a game engine (Unity/Unreal)
2- Learn Visual Scripting (C#/C++ more flexibility)
3- Get a VR Headset & computer (mac or win)
🧵 Thread
Conversation
4- Ask yourself the question: what platform do you want to build for? Do not overcomplicate this, just pick one ex: Meta, SteamVR, etc
5- For Unity which is my expertise try the following toolkits: (XR Interaction Toolkit, MRTK 3, UltimateXR, VRIF, Hurricane VR)

7- Get familiar with the Debugger / Profiler

9- Start a VR prototype perhaps a clone of your game
