So far this has been my most useful resource. It is written in a way that is very easy to understand even if you are new to Unity. I live the project oriented approach. Gives you very practical ideas for application.

I have been using all the previous editions of this book and the content has been great every time. This newer edition is fully updated and comes with great chapters covering a wide variety of topics in VR development from teleportation, lighting, UI to interaction and much more. It is suitable for beginners and advanced developers alike and will truly help anyone wanting to build amazing VR applications and experiences.A must read!

UnityでC#を使いながらVRモデルを動かす体験ができる。日本語の本だとまだまだUnityでVRを動かす資料は少ない(2D系は充実している)と思うのでその点では有意義だと思う。色んなケースが乗っている点も良い。ただ読者が手を動かして実装していく部分は、文字での説明は極力控えて画像等が使われた、視覚的に分かり易いモノの方が私は好き。家具のDIYで例えるなら、この本の説明は1. AをBに取り付ける。2. BのC部分を折り曲げる、の様な文字での解説と、説明の手順を終えた後の完成品が乗っているイメージ。説明の文字部分も画像で分かるとどこが間違っているか分かり易いのだが、これは個人の好みかもしれない。画像や図が増えるとページ数がどうしても増えてしまい、価格が上がるか掲載できるケース数が減ってしまうと思うから一長一短。

It was a good starting point but I found the code a little janky. The climbing code would bug out and not allow you to grip another grip point until you released your other hand. It is a good starting point though but there are youtube tutorials out there that go in to much more detail than this book can.

While the concepts are good and those programs that work fun, I was expecting with this 2020 title for the examples to be up to date and the code to work exactly as described. Only those in the first few chapters work as described, so far. For example, every script in chapter 6 threw errors in 2019.4 and had to be deleted for the project to even run in VR. So as a beginner in unity without C# code experience, I basically had to wing it and modify and learn what I could from the examples. I wish a little more quality control had been done. I realize it is difficult with Unity changing so often. But I tried multiple old versions and still had trouble making many examples work. So for the money I am pretty disappointed, but hope to learn what I can from the book's basic info. It would be helpful to add a whole chapter up front on what to do when examples simply don't work. In chapter 7, if you download the final project the author created, that did seem to work, so perhaps there are are configuration/setup variables in the unity environment that are causing me trouble. I love it when it works!
