It's was easy to read and concise. It was the most extensive book on the subject Ive read in the last three years. The solid foundational knowledge presented will give this book literal shelf life for years to come. Its more than worth the investment!

Akshith Ullal Oct 11, 2023

The book is segmented into easy-to-follow chapters that are chronologically arranged in their order of complexity, giving beginners a good chance to grasp the basics. The book also demonstrates concepts such as multiplayer gaming using freely available plug-ins, such as Photon PUN networking, making it accessible to a much wider audience.

This guide dives deep into the topic of metaverse and Unity to create a functioning concept to help accelerate understanding and expansion of your knowledge. It's a great start for beginners who are just learning to use unity grasp complex topics into easily digestible material while having enough advanced topics for more veteran Unity developers. With the focus of cross-platform development, mobile support, and wealth of examples for each step, this book does just that.Pros:- Unity version use is good for Apple Silicon Chips as the version used is the first version to support it natively- Summaries of components used and overall expectations of the current chapter- Examples of UI when creating screens- Uses 3rd party tools that are good for free use. Such as Firebase, Mixamo, and Proton before paid tiers for more advanced usage- Explains why these tools the advantages and disadvantages of these tools- Explains complex topics of optimization techniques in simple terms for any skill level to understand- Touches Unity's CustomEditor for tooling- Includes mobile compatibility to the chapters that are different for standard input systems (Such as computer)- Dives into how NFT's are created and used with good beginner instructions on setting it up with this environment- Meta Quest 2 SupportCons:- Screenshots are a mixture of Mac and Windows. For installation locations, it could confuse the reader if they are unfamiliar with one or the other- Could explain a little bit more on specific Unity classes other than MonoBehavior and what their purpose is- A little bit of a nitpick. There are definitely more than one tools that can be used with every aspect of 3rd party accounts. A small list of other comparable tools listed would be good for readers to know that the examples used aren't the only ones available on the market. Project needs could have users flock to other cloud storage systems, etc- Doesn't expand on other VR usage like OpenXR. This book is not for those looking for in depth solutions for VR targeting outside the Meta Quest SDK

I received a free review copy since I work in the space, with no obligation to review. When I got around to reading a few of the chapters, I found it insightful and in line with some of the procedures I've been exposed to working in the AR/VR commercial industry.
