Do I need a XR device?

It would be good to have a VR headset (such as the Quest 2) and a phone that can handle AR (Most modern phones do), but it's technically possible to review your work in any browser instead without any special equiptment.

Small Group Experience, Social, and Supportive Work with a passionate technologist and creative guide in a collaborative cohort. Share ideas, learn from each other, and enjoy the journey as you bring your XR applications to life.

About the Instructor: Casey Armstrong, former Curriculum Manager at XR Terra (an AR & VR developer bootcamp), is a VR developer and technical writer with a deep passion for teaching and making emerging technologies accessible. Casey specializes in breaking down complex concepts and guiding learners toward creative and professional success.

Note on Price: While the ticket covers the workshop, you may want to subscribe to some AI tools, such as Windsurf's pro tier (around $10/month) and potentially ChatGPT Pro, for the best experience. Free alternatives can be used, but may be less convenient. I can advise you on this on day one of the course.

What You’ll Need:

• A laptop with internet access.
• Basic familiarity with coding (optional but recommended).
