In March 2023, I worked with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity product team to create a set of tutorials for in-person workshops. The goal was to help students with little to no experience in Unity get up and running with real-world data and immersive interactions in the Oculus Quest. The content includes "2.5D" and 3D UI with a minimap widget, as well as reading/writing to 3D data layers in ArcGIS Online. I presented these tutorials to the Central Florida Immersive Technology Summit (workshop outline), as well as at Esri Developer Summit '23.
The work-in progress workshop repository can be found here.
