AR/VR Learning Path


Given the apparent quality of Apple's product and at least one other big player heavily invested (Meta) I am convinced that AR/VR will mature and become mainstream during my working years. How do I best prepare myself for the opportunities that will arise?

Learn 3D modelling. It's hard to say what future interfaces will look like, but you should definitely learn the asset creation pipeline.

I've been using Blender for close to a decade now and cannot recommend it more. If you spend a few hours a week practicing your 3D modelling, you will be well-poised to start creating content when VR/AR adoption kicks off. Another safe bet is WebXR, which Apple has more-or-less confirmed support for (alongside Meta).
