Promotion and Events SpecialistThe worldwide AR/VR market is poised for immense growth over the next five years and companies challenged with delivering these experiences will need experienced software engineers and developers who can build in these extended reality (XR) environments.
The Unity Development and Essential 3D Math program from NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering can help you begin to build your Unity skills by getting an introduction to the Unity game engine and the mathematical foundations necessary to succeed as a Unity developer and as a well-rounded 3D developer in general. You’ll develop a solid mathematical understanding of 3D spaces and be able to produce your own Unity projects using the Unity editor. Then you’ll delve into AR development, learning different AR types and development frameworks, and building mobile AR prototypes.
The eight-week program provides an introduction to XR development with a focus on augmented reality, and offers a special emphasis on mathematical topics that directly apply to Unity.
Develop knowledge of the Unity GUI, and learn how to import assets and GameObjects to utilize in project development, and how to create a Rube Goldberg machine. Explore the use of vector mathematics in Unity.
Apply C# programming to create custom Unity components. Apply the concepts of prefabs, transform API, materials, and vector multiplication and projection within Unity.
Explore the Input System Package to create a character controller. Apply C# scripting, physics, rigidbodies, colliders, matrix mathematics, and Unity coroutines to Game Objects to create interactivity and to create your own roll-a-ball scene.
Use tools within Unity to create a functioning UI within a scene. Add animations to GameObjects and apply matrix mathematics to Unity development.
Apply raycasting to inform interactions, and explore how Unity utilizes quaternion and matrices to represent rotations in 3D space.
Get an overview of AR development frameworks and learn to develop image tracking-based AR using Vuforia with Unity.
Create AR experiences leveraging object recognition techniques and interactions.
Learn about SLAM and AR Foundation and use Unity's AR Foundation to detect surface types and create code to load on a mobile device.

The total AR market is expected to reach over $100 billion by 2024, with an average CAGR of 75%.
88% of mid-sized companies have already begun using some form of augmented reality.
AR experiences are 200% more engaging than their non AR equivalent as they deliver double the levels of engagement.
This comprehensive program is designed for professionals or students with a computer science degree or equivalent who are new to Unity and seeking an introduction to XR development with a focus on AR and 3D math. Participants will have familiarity with C# or equivalent experience with Java, JavaScript, C++, or Python and fundamental quantitative and analytical skills (i.e. Algebra I at a minimum).
It is ideal for:
Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be awarded a verified digital certificate by NYU Tandon.

Each program includes an estimated learner effort per week. This is referenced at the top of the program landing page under the Duration section, as well as in the program brochure, which you can obtain by submitting the short form at the top of this web page.
We have designed this program to fit into your current working life as efficiently as possible. Time will be spent among a variety of activities including:
The program is designed to be highly interactive while also allowing time for self-reflection and to demonstrate an understanding of the core topics through various active learning exercises. Please email us if you need further clarification on program activities.
More than 300,000 learners across 200 countries have chosen to advance their skills with Emeritus and its educational learning partners. In fact, 90 percent of the respondents of a recent survey across all our programs said that their learning outcomes were met or exceeded.
All the contents of the course would be made available to students at the commencement of the course. However, to ensure the program delivers the desired learning outcomes the students may appoint Emeritus to manage the delivery of the program in a cohort-based manner the cost of which is already included in the overall course fee of the course.
A dedicated program support team is available 24/5 (Monday to Friday) to answer questions about the learning platform, technical issues, or anything else that may affect your learning experience.
Peer learning adds substantially to the overall learning experience and is an important part of the program. You can connect and communicate with other participants through our learning platform.
Each program includes an estimated learner effort per week, so you can gauge what will be required before you enroll.
