Problem
Creating virtual reality (VR) experiences often requires extensive coding knowledge and specialized development skills, limiting accessibility for non-programmers and slowing down the development process for experienced developers. This complexity can hinder the widespread adoption of VR for training, education, and other applications.
Solution
MindPort offers VR Builder, a free and open-source toolkit that simplifies VR content creation within the Unity engine. VR Builder provides a no-code, drag-and-drop interface, enabling users to create interactive VR applications without programming expertise. Programmers can extend the toolkit's functionality with custom code and share building blocks for collaborative workflows. The platform supports a range of VR hardware and offers features such as an interaction library, user guidance tools, and animation capabilities. VR Builder streamlines the VR development process, making it faster and more accessible for both developers and non-developers.
Target Audience
VR Builder targets both non-programmers seeking an accessible entry point into VR development and experienced Unity developers looking to streamline their workflow, as well as agencies and enterprises seeking to create VR training and simulation applications.
