Types of XR Environments
With Unity’s XR Initiative, you can conduct research on a virtual ocean, hike through a forest, or train robot gardeners to care for your plants on a simulated farm. These are just a few of the exciting XR experiences we have waiting for you at Unity.
Virtual Ocean
Board a NOAA research vessel to conduct offshore population surveys of large marine mammals.
Virtual Forest
Counting Rabbits
Hike through a forest with a laser rangefinder to count animals and analyze their locations and timing, helping you estimate a species’ population.
Burned Forest
Explore the forest after it has been decimated by fire and determine where, and how, the fire originated. Navigate back and forth in time to learn more about how the fire may be avoided.
Virtual Dog Park
Take your robot dog, Ajax, to the local dog park to socialize him with other robot dogs and teach him basic commands.
Virtual Farm
Teach a robot gardener how to take care of plants. Identify and treat the pests currently infecting those plants.
