Where to Go From Here?

Download the final Unity project here.

You now have the power to take any 3D game in Unity and make it a VR experience with just a little cardboard and some plastic lenses. It’s VR for everybody!

The build process for Android is almost the same as for iOS.

Google’s Unity Developer Guide provides some additional technical info.

And finally, you could even add Augmented Reality (AR) to your VR projects!

Lastly, take a look at any 3D game you might make in Unity and see if there’s anything that would translate well to a VR experience. Or, maybe this tutorial will inspire you to create something entirely new.

As always, please feel free to leave questions and comments below or in the forums!

Oh, and if you figure out how to control lawn mowers with your mind, let me know — I’m still working on that.
