About this course

This course will enable you to create realistic social interactions in Virtual Reality (VR).

You will learn about both the psychology of social interaction and the practical skills to implement it using Unity3D. We will take you through the basics of 3D character animation and how to create body language. You will make characters that can respond to players’ speech and body language.

You will also learn about avatars: the virtual representation of other players, and agents: computer controlled NPC characters and how to implement both of them.
