Build immersive AR/VR experiences with the world's most popular game engine

What is Unity XR?

Unity is the leading real-time 3D development platform for creating augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. Unity XR development encompasses building immersive experiences using Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit, AR Foundation, and integration with platform SDKs like ARKit, ARCore, and OpenXR. Unity powers over 60% of AR/VR content worldwide, making it the most in-demand skill for XR developers. The engine's C# scripting, visual editor, and extensive asset ecosystem enable rapid prototyping and production of everything from mobile AR apps to enterprise VR training simulations.

Why It Matters in AR/VR

Unity XR skills are essential because: **Market Dominance**: Unity is used by the majority of XR studios and enterprise teams, from indie developers to Meta, Apple, and Microsoft. **Cross-Platform Development**: A single Unity project can target Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, HoloLens, mobile AR, and PCVR with minimal platform-specific code. **Rapid Iteration**: Unity's real-time preview and hot reload capabilities allow developers to test XR interactions quickly without lengthy build cycles. **Ecosystem & Community**: Thousands of XR-ready assets, plugins, and tutorials make Unity accessible for teams of all sizes. **Enterprise Adoption**: Major industries including automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail use Unity for training, visualization, and customer experiences.
